Brigadoon – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Solidly entertaining
Romance and kitsch are present in equal proportions in Southern Light Opera’s staging of Brigadoon at the Edinburgh King’s until Saturday.
Brigadoon looms out the mist again
Edinburgh’s oldest amateur musical theatre company take over the King’s this week with a new production of Brigadoon, the musical about a Highland village which appears only one day every century.
Review – Oklahoma!
✭✭✭✭✩ Long but Strong:
It’s seventy years since Oklahoma! first took to the Broadway stage, with its gorgeous, downbeat opening of Oh What a Beautiful Morning, sung by cowboy Curly to the butter-churning Aunt Eller.
Review – Copacabana
★★★☆☆ Passionate:
The music and the passion are right in place in Allegro’s bright production of Copacabana at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday. But while the fashion is frothy – and the dresses are, on occasion, “cut down to there” – it doesn’t go as far in that direction as it might.
