Cabaret
EdFringe 2024: Music, cabaret & dance
Edinburgh-made music, cabaret & dance at #EdFringe 2024
Beside all the theatre and musicals on offer here are 21 shows with a theatrical bent in the music, cabaret, and dance sections of the EdFringe portal.
Divas: From Stage to Screen
★★★★★ Quality cabaret
For an evening of top quality vocal entertainment, look no further than BBD Productions and Divas: From Stage to Screen their hour long cabaret of non-stop hits at the Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose.
Dancing Queens: The ABBA Drag Party
★★★☆☆ Greatest hits
Drag queens Rujazzle and Sissy Scorpio host an entertaining evening of ABBA and party games, running at the Three Sisters in the Live Room, every Wednesday night of the Fringe.
PPP: Sally
★★★★☆ Worryingly funny
The uneasy relationship between politics and theatre is laid comically bare in James Ley’s Sally, the first in the new run of A Play, A Pie & A Pint from Oran Mor at the Traverse.
EdFringe22: Dance, Cabaret & Spoken Word
Dance, Cabaret & Spoken Word, made in Edinburgh at EdFringe 2022
Edinburgh’s theatre companies have come back strong after the pandemic with 116 theatrical productions at the Fringe including many new shows and a handful of returning favourites.
Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age
★★★☆☆ Mixed bag
Given the honour of closing the Edinburgh International Festival that so nearly never happened, Alan Cumming responds with his trademark gusto and skill. Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age at the Old College Quad is, however, an odd combination of the delightful and the infuriating.
Cabaret
★★★★☆ Have a Kit Kat (Klub):
Emotional truth and powerful staging make Bill Kenwright Productions’ touring version of Cabaret at the Festival Theatre to Saturday nigh unmissable.
Cabaret for Festival Theatre
New shows on sale for Festival, Kings & Studio:
A new tour of hit musical Cabaret, the last ever tour of the Richard Alston Dance Company and Leitheatre’s take on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are among new shows going on sale at Capital Theatres.
Cabaret
★★★★☆ Chilling:
Chilling in all the right places, the revival of the award-winning tour of Cabaret starring Will Young as the Emcee feels as important a piece of musical theatre as it ever did.
