★★★☆☆ 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.
Steel Magnolias

Bugsy Malone
★★★★☆ Effervescent:
Harnessing the skills of another clutch of ludicrously talented young performers, Forth Children’s Theatre’s production of Bugsy Malone is almost ridiculously enjoyable.
Stepping Out – The Musical
★★★☆☆ Crisp:
Delicate touches and gutsy performances allow the Twilighters to rise above Stepping Out – The Musical’s shortcomings in their inaugural production.
The Wiz

Simply staged, brilliantly sung and delightfully choreographed, Forth Children’s Theatre hit their mark full square with this lively production of The Wiz at the Edinburgh Academy all week.
Thoroughly Modern Millie
★★★★☆ Thoroughly musical:
Forth Children’s Theatre have another winner in Thoroughly Modern Millie, which contains enough quality singing and dancing to fill several shows.
Review – Nunsense The Musical
★★★★☆ Habit-forming
Edinburgh amateur musicals company Tempo has pulled off a blinder with this slick, well-choreographed and superbly performed production of nutty nun musical Nunsense.
