Brunton Theatre
Annie Get Your Gun
★★★☆☆ Tootin’ ‘n’ Shootin’:
There’s no shooting of vocal blanks from Encore and Musical Youth in this thoroughly entertaining and engaging production of Annie Get Your Gun at the Brunton through to Saturday.
The Red Lion
★★★★★ Back of the net:
Rapture Theatre shoots, and scores, in a soccer drama by Patrick Marber that even non-sports fans will love.
Blitz!
★★★★☆ Explosive:
The Blitz spirit is alive and well and living in Musselburgh. More particularly, the Brunton Theatre, which is where you’ll find Lionel Bart’s unjustly forgotten follow-up to Oliver!, Blitz!.
MAMA Annual Revue 2019
★★★☆☆ Dramatic:
Starting as it means to go on Musselburgh Amateur Musical Association’s Annual Revue 2019 kicks off with a song from The Greatest Showman – but not the one which became ubiquitous over the panto season.

Sweeney Todd
★★★★★ A cut above:
Captivate Theatre’s revival of last year’s Fringe production of Sweeney Todd has matured over the months, and is a must-see as it reaches the Brunton Theatre.
Calamity Jane
★★★★☆ Giddy up for a giddy show:
Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-rolling on over the plains… and stopping at the Brunton Theatre for MAMA’s production of Calamity Jane.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★☆☆ Budding genius:
The classic horror musical comedy, Little Shop of Horrors, takes root at the Brunton courtesy of Our Lady of Loretto Youth Players – and it may not be what you expect.
