Shrek the Musical
★★★★☆ Fully rounded
Shrek the Musical’s return in a new production, with a new director and choreographer, is a case of more of the same in terms of plot and songs, but with vibrant new details and framing to their presentation.
Annie
★★★☆☆ Cheerful
A relentlessly upbeat feel to the touring revival of the West End production of Annie, at the Playhouse to Saturday, is the source of considerable charm.
Club Tropicana
★★★★☆ Camp and colourful:
Passports at the ready! It’s time to jet off to the Club Tropicana Hotel in this brand new jukebox musical which is touring to the Playhouse until Saturday.
Lesley Joseph for Miss Hannigan
Lesley Joseph to star in Annie tour for Edinburgh:
Lesley Joseph will play the role of Miss Hannigan when the touring production of Annie visits the Edinburgh Playhouse in September and October 2019.
Fame The Musical
★★★★☆ High energy:
Grab your legwarmers as the King’s Theatre hosts a high energy, if not Hi-Fidelity, spin-off from the Alan Parker film Fame.
Anita and Craig take on Annie
Double dose of Hannigan for Annie Tour:
The recent West End production of Annie has announced a UK tour in 2019, playing the Edinburgh Playhouse in October and including both Anita Dobson and Craig Revel Horwood in the role of Miss Hannigan at different venues.
Fame tours to King’s in 2018
Autumn dates for Fame: the Musical:
Fame: the Musical will fly, high, into the Edinburgh King’s in October 2018 as part of Selladoor’s 30th anniversary tour of the musical based on the 1980 movie, Fame.
Annie
★★★★★ Captivating style:
They say you should never work with animals or children. The touring production of Annie, at the Playhouse until Saturday, proves that, boy, were they wrong.
