Brigadoon – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Solidly entertaining
Romance and kitsch are present in equal proportions in Southern Light Opera’s staging of Brigadoon at the Edinburgh King’s until Saturday.
Brigadoon looms out the mist again
Edinburgh’s oldest amateur musical theatre company take over the King’s this week with a new production of Brigadoon, the musical about a Highland village which appears only one day every century.
Review – Smooth and Saxy
It’s a bijou night out at the Queen Charlotte Rooms this week, where local big stage musical specialists, Tempo, are putting on a smooching cabaret-style affair in the upper room as part of the Leith Festival.
