Pics of Les Misérables arena spectacular released
There are a handful of tickets left for the Glasgow Ovo Hydro dates of the Les Misérables arena spectacular, this week: Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 October 2024 with best availability on Friday.
A Chorus Line
★★★★★ Incandescent
Leicester-based producing theatre Curve brings the revival of its hit production of A Chorus Line to Edinburgh with the energy and honesty that defines this enduring classic, polished as bright as its iconic mirrors with fresh direction, design, and outstanding performances.
Showcase 2024 – Something About This Night!
★★★★☆ Spectacular
Showcase 2024 – Something About This Night! provides the expected tuneful extravaganza, hugely reliable while appearing remarkably fresh.
Blood Brothers
★★★★☆ Captivating
Written by Willy Russell, Blood Brothers at the Edinburgh Playhouse all week and returning to the Glasgow King’s in October, is a compelling tale filled with moving performances.
Preview and listings: Mon 23 – Sun 29 Sept 2024
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week?
Edinburgh’s got right back into the swing of things after the post fringe hiatus. The Macmillan fundraiser, Showcase, is at the Church Hill and there is a pair of big tourers in A Chorus Line at the Festival and Blood Brothers at the Playhouse.
PPP: The Wolves at the Door
★★★☆☆ Well-intentioned
The Wolves at the Door by Jack Hunter, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint offering from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a piece of politically-informed theatre that has heart but is ultimately lacking in bite.
Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me is a wistful piece about growing up that has considerable punch and an impressive musical content.
Lung Ha at 40: Spotlight on… Morgan Dalgeish
Lung Ha at 40
To mark its 40th anniversary, Lung Ha theatre commissioned a series of portraits of the 25-strong company from Edinburgh-based photographer Peter Dibdin. We are publishing a new portrait every fortnight. Today our spotlight is on Lung Ha actor Morgan Dalgeish.
Come from Away
★★★★★ Energetic
There is an energy and buzz of vitality to Come from Away, touring to the Playhouse this week before transferring to Glasgow next week, which belies the musical’s potentially saccharine nature.
Listings and Preview: Mon 16 – Sun 22 September 2024
