What’s on Edinburgh’s Stages this week…
Not quite normality yet, but the big shows are beginning to return to the big venues – with Covid mitigation in place – while a couple of online productions remind us that Covid hasn’t gone away.
The Girl on the Train
★★★☆☆ Thrilling:
Whether you know the story or not, The Girl on the Train – at the Kings Theatre until Saturday – will keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the end.
The Addams Family
★★★★☆ Slick:
Hugely energetic, reliably tuneful and packed with more fun that could reasonably be expected, The Addams Family is always going to be a great success.
Addams Family Cast
It’s Womack for Morticia:
Samantha Womack, currently playing tragic Ronnie Mitchell in Eastenders, is to play Morticia Adams in the newly extended UK tour of The Addams Family musical.
Review – South Pacific
★★★★☆ Well-staged
The enchantment is in plentiful supply over an evening spent in the company of this touring revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, at the Edinburgh Playhouse until 14 April.
