Loserville
★★★☆☆ Geektastic fun:
Grease meets Glee, as the Forth Children’s Theatre show what it’s like to be an American teenager in this fun and energetic performance of Loserville.
Moon over Buffalo
★★★☆☆ Comic capers:
A strong sense of purpose and plenty of pace ensure that Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Moon Over Buffalo at St Ninian’s Church Hall is farcical for all the right reasons.
PPP: Rachel’s Cousins
★★★★☆ Clever comedy:
Upbeat and often very funny indeed, Rachel’s Cousins, this week’s A Play, A Pie and A Pint lunchtime theatre at the Traverse, doesn’t allow the prospect of cancer to get in its way.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
★★★☆☆ Puzzling:
The seminal story of a 19th century physician who uses a potion to unlock the darkness within gets a puzzling treatment as the Touring Consortium Theatre Company’s production reaches the King’s.

Crazy for You Youth Review 3
★★★☆☆ A Gersh-winning performance:
Carried by a multitalented cast and top-notch comedic timing, the Watermill Theatre’s Production of Crazy for You delivers plenty of laughs for the whole family, but lacks emotional intelligence.
Crazy for You Youth Review 2
★★★★☆ Crazy for you to miss:
Crazy For You at the Edinburgh Playhouse is a show that will bring you laughter, joy, get your toes tapping and put a smile on your face!
Crazy for You Youth Review 1
★★★☆☆ Timeless yet modern:
Terrifically timed tapping toes and the pipes to deliver incredible vocals retell a love story from the Wild West, but what seems to be missing is true character development.
Black Bat Call Out
