Don’t let the wacky weather keep you indoors this August – there are a bunch of Sydney shows on right now that are sure to delight and keep you warm and cosy.

First up, tongue-in-cheek musical The Book of Mormon is on at Sydney's Capitol Theatre – and it’s jam-packed with “did they really just say that?” humour. Bring your mate, bring yourself – but maybe leave your nan (and your kid) at home for this one.

Calling all feline lovers: the Australian 40th-anniversary production of Cats is playing at the Sydney Theatre Royal until September 6. As our reviewer said: “Old cats and old tricks are a song for success in this nostalgic revival of musical theatre's feline fantasia.” 

Excitingly, The Talented Mr. Ripley is coming to the stage this month. Have a ritzy night out watching this infamous tale of jealousy and deception. The iconic story will be on stage at Roslyn Packer Theatre.

That’s all just for starters!
