Vasari Corridor
For the first time in some years, individuals rather than just groups can visit the Corridoio Vasariano. This ‘secret’, kilometre-long corridor runs from the Uffizi Gallery, across the top of the Ponte Vecchio and into the Pitti Palace; the Medici commissioned it from Vasari in 1565 by Vasari. Florence’s first family wanted a way to get from A to B without having to rub shoulders with any plebs on the way. Besides being an art gallery with a superb collection of portraits, the corridor offers an unusual, bird’s eye view of Florence. Booking is obligatory.

Broadway’s biggest hit in the last few decades returns to the Sydney stage with a glossy new megabuck production to attract those who missed out last time. It’s blessed with the presence of major musical star Anthony Warlow who takes on the role of Daddy Warbucks, with Amanda Muggleton as Miss Hannigan. The title role is split between two young stars, Rachel Marley and ten-year-old Jodie McGaw, the survivors of an auditioning saga that involved 2,000 children.
