Genesian Theatre (Jul-Aug 2022) Character: Olive Leech "But the central thrust of the production came from the trio of Olive, Roo, and Barney as they attempt to ring every last drop of fun out of their lives despite changing times. Muir’s Olive was particularly empathetic as a woman caught in the middle of what she wants and what she can’t have. The push and pull of her relationship with Roo was beautifully and perceptively portrayed by the pair in their final conversation. As a trio, Muir, Grelis, and Connor expertly navigated the tension of Lawler’s script for a sound overall performance." – Nightwrites "Casting could not have been done better. Jodine Muir as Olive was able to demonstrate her character’s nature perfectly. Her meltdown scene over Roo’s proposition showed a woman devastated by changes she cannot control." – Paul Kiely, Absolute Theatre "Muir’s debut GTC performance in the leading role of Olive was impressive, convincingly playing a high spirited, strong willed, independent woman. There’s the heart wrenching scene when Olive bangs her fist against Roo’s chest, saying, ‘I want the old life back, the life that we had’. Roo is not able to respond." – David Kary, Sydney Arts Guide THE REALISTIC JONESES by Will Eno. Directed by Julie Baz - Limelight on Oxford (13-30Mar2019) "A stellar cast...Jodine Muir is the perfect Pony Jones...manages the delicate (and hysterical) balance between a recognizable ‘normal’ person and the zany persona Will Eno created." By Lisa Thatcher "James and Muir give magnificent performances. There is liveliness in their performances, as their counterparts lose their minds and their way." By Sean Maroney - The Music BIG CROW by Mark Langham, Directed By Barry Walsh – Brave New Word Theatre Co (21Feb – 04Mar2017) “Jodine Muir was fabulous as Peg, a kind woman still living with a past that causes her to feel both shame and nostalgia.” By Elizabeth Fortescue - The Daily Telegraph THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK by Francis Goodrich & Albert Hackett, Directed by Sam Thomas - New Theatre (09Jun-11Jul 2015) "Jodine Muir, in the role of Anne’s mother, demonstrates versatility in balancing her character’s composure with a deep vulnerability...a very talented ensemble." Deb Meyer, J-Wire. "All 10 actors involved are perfectly cast, each with an individually memorable presence and all creating poignancy from different perspectives. The chemistry on stage is effortless but unmissable, and we never question the authenticity of their very close relationships." Suzy Wrong, Suzy Goes See. "The cast all turned in perfectly nuanced performances...a very polished production with stellar performances." Joy Minter, The Buzz from Sydney. "James Bean and Jodine Muir both tug at the heartstrings as Mr and Mrs Frank." Ben Neutze, Daily Review "Outstanding performances and thoughtful direction make for a compelling production with a potent message..Watch this first class production...4 out of 5 stars" Liam McLoughlin, ArtsHub "Casting for this show was excellent...This production is heart wrenching...triumphs in invoking a deep emotional response." Emily Richardson, Absolute Theatre and Upstaged Review (TOP 10 for 2015) PLAYTHING Written & Directed by Simon Dodd - Factory Theatre (29-30Apr14 Sydney Comedy Festival) "Plaything is held together by Heath Ivey-Law and Jodine Muir, as they keep the audience wired and attentive ... an absolutely stellar cast....everyone on the stage is at the top of their game...Simon Dodd has done extremely well with his cast..." Lisa Thatcher DYING FOR IT by Moira Buffini, Directed by Peter Talmacs - New Theatre (Nov/Dec13) “Jodine Muir is a clever Masha, playing Semyon’s wife in such a way that she never comes across as a victim of her exasperated dealings with her ridiculous husband, but rather a woman living fully in the moment no matter what it brings her. It gives Masha a place all of her own rather than a position as the straight (wo)man to Semyon’s cute charm.” Lisa Thatcher “Johann Walraven and Jodine Muir acquit themselves admirably as the two leads, Muir especially good as the haggard and harried Masha who never stoops to harridan.” Richard Cotter, Sydney Arts Guide. “His wife Masha is played by Jodine Muir, who excels at the kind of frantic, rambunctious performance that characterises this production, and offers an important counterbalance of rationality to the mad goings-on of the other roles.” Suzy Wrong, Suzy Goes See
