Andy Johnston
Edinburgh Gang Show 2015
★★★★☆ Fresh:
The 2015 Gang Show at the King’s provides more than its quota of fun and entertainment, being reassuringly familiar yet refreshingly original.
Gang Show Week!
Hashtag #GangShowDay as GS hits King’s:
The return of the Edinburgh Gang Show to the King’s Theatre this Tuesday signals the turning of the season more, even, than the John Lewis Christmas advert.
Loserville
★★★☆☆ Energetic:
There is sufficient speed and energy to Allegro’s Loserville at the Church Hill to make for a satisfactory time, despite what can only be seen as the most unpromising source material.
Showcase 2015
★★★☆☆ On song:
Returning to the Church Hill Theatre for their 25th annual production, Showcase provide a fitting tribute for the theatre’s own fiftieth anniversary on 25 September 2015.
Hot Hits for MacMillan
Showcase 2015 back at the Church Hill
Not content with blowing away the King’s Theatre for its 25th anniversary production in May, Showcase is returning to the Church Hill Theatre next week for its annual show.
It’s Showcase Time!
Quarter Century Celebrations:
After 25 years, Showcase is moving down the hill from the Church Hill Theatre for a couple of nights on the big stage of the Kings.
Oliver!
★★★☆☆ Less is more:
Big and bold, Southern Light Opera’s production of Oliver! is consistently entertaining but does not always convince.
More? You want more?
SLO considers itself at home at King’s:
“More? You want how many more?” – not Mr Bumble’s reply to Oliver Twist’s plea for more gruel, but how Southern Light Opera must have reacted to director Andy Johnston’s plans for their new production of Oliver!, which opens at the King’s on Tuesday.
Edinburgh Gang Show 2014
✭✭✭✭✩ Well prepared:
There is a rarely seen bite and zip to this year’s Edinburgh Gang Show which, while it overruns by some 20 minutes, never outstays its welcome.
The Gang is Back!
The biggest ever Edinburgh Gang Show is set to hit the stage of the King’s this week with what might also be the largest cast ever to appear in a show at the theatre.
