Sunshine on Leith
★★★☆☆ Catchy tunes
Captivate Theatre’s sell out audiences for their production of Sunshine on Leith, in the Bijou Spiegel tent outside the Assembly Rooms on George Street, is testament to both the show’s popularity and the group’s reputation.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
★★★★★ Rings out
Captivate Theatre step out of their usual comfort zone of large-cast sure-fire banger hits with this production of lesser performed musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame and find themselves with, well, a sure-fire banger hit.
School of Rock
★★★★☆ Dynamic
Fringe favourites Captivate Theatre bring the musical School of Rock to the Magnusson Theatre at the Edinburgh Academy, featuring a cast of talented local children.
Nativity! The Musical
★★★★☆ Sparkly and shining
Nativity! The Musical, Captivate Theatre’s seasonal offering at Fettes, is ideal Christmas fare. Full of joy and melody, it sometimes lacks polish, but never lacks heart.
Captivating the Nativity
Captivate stage Nativity! the Musical
Local company Captivate Theatre is bringing a production of Nativity! The Musical to Edinburgh for six performances only this Christmas, alongside its new take on A Christmas Carol.

★★★★☆ Snappy
There is a great deal of fun to be had in Captivate Theatre’s production of One Man Two Guvnors, Richard Bean’s knowing adaptation of Carlo Goldoni at the Rose theatre for the final week of the Fringe.
Shrek the Musical
★★★★☆ Captivating
Captivate Theatre’s production of Shrek The Musical at The Rose Theatre is a case of young performers being better than their material.
Sunshine on Leith
★★★★☆ Brilliant
Captivate Theatre’s production of Sunshine on Leith returns for a full run of the fringe at the Rose Theatre after last year’s sell-out run at the pop-up MultiStory venue
The Addams Family – A New Musical
