What makes the performance work, is the heart behind it. Beneath the absurdity, Giuseppe’s quest to understand love is genuinely sweet. Detto never overcomplicates the concept, instead letting the audience help shape Giuseppe’s journey in real time.

This Must Be the Place by Sam Taunton is a warm, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt hour of storytelling that feels both deeply personal and instantly relatable. Built around the house he grew up in on Shoalhaven Street in Nowra, the show explores the strange nostalgia tied to the places that shape us. As well as the chaotic, hilarious memories that happen inside them.
If you’ve ever sat through a performance review, endured an all-hands meeting that could’ve been an email, or listened to someone say “let’s circle back on that” with a straight face, H.R. The Musical will feel like the comedy intervention you didn’t know you needed.
