My Best Friend’s Wedding sets Edinburgh Date:

Hair Cast
Casting announced for Playhouse dates of Hair the Musical:
Jake Quickenden, Daisy Wood-Davis and Marcus Collins will lead the cast of the UK tour of Hair the Musical when it arrives at the Edinburgh Playhouse in June 2019.
The Last Witch
★★★★☆ Hard as rock:
There is a visceral compulsion to Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Firebrand’s The Last Witch at the Traverse. While apparently telling of a disappeared world, its evocations of fears, suspicions and power imbalances are worryingly contemporary.
Hair for Playhouse
June date for cult sixties musical:
Cult sixties musical Hair is set to tour the UK next year, playing the Edinburgh Playhouse in June 2019.
Corelli’s Mandolin for King’s
Rona Munro to adapt de Bernier novel:
A new adaptation of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, based on the novel by Louis de Bernière, is to tour to the Edinburgh King’s in June 2019.
Still Alice
★★★☆☆ Poignant:
The portrayal of early-onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice, touring to the King’s all week, will certainly resonate with many, thanks largely to Sharon Small’s magnetic central performance.
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.
Spamalot
★★★★☆ Hilarious:
The Mercury Theatre, Colchester’s touring version of Monty Python’s Spamalot for Selladoor Productions is consistently funny and may just be the best version of the show to have come to Edinburgh.
Calamity Jane
✭✭✭✭✩ Whip cracks along
There ain’t no dead wood on the Playhouse stage this week as a sparkling Calamity Jane staring Jodie Prenger lights into town at the start of its long tour around the UK.
