Oor Wullie
★★★☆☆ Sparky:
Oor Wullie, the touring musical from Selladoor, Dundee Rep and DC Thomson has moments of comic brilliance. However, it never quite coheres into a wholly convincing story.
Oor Wullie for King’s
New musical set for Scottish tour:
A new musical based on DC Thomson’s comic strip Oor Wullie will tour to the Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre in January 2020.
Velvet Evening Seance
★★★★☆ Mesmerising:
High production values and a compelling narrative make Ross MacKay and Suzie Miller’s atmospheric Victorian mystery, Velvet Evening Séance, a suitably haunting experience.
Atlantic Double Bill
★★★★☆ Ambitious
★★★☆☆ Ambitious with a different accent
Here’s something unique at the Assembly Hall, two new musicals by groups in the UK and US, linked across the Atlantic by the theme of posing the same question.
A Christmas Carol
✭✭✭✭✩ Dickens of a good time
Radiating good humour and Christmas cheer, the Lyceum’s production of A Christmas Carol provides highly successful seasonal entertainment.
