Once On This Island
★★★★☆ Poignant energy:

Sister Act
★★★★★ Nun better:
Tuneful, wonderfully acted and with the comic momentum of a juggernaut, Forth Children’s Theatre’s Sister Act at the Edinburgh Tabernacle is almost unimaginably entertaining.
Pippin
★★★★☆ Another Winner:
Gorgeous singing, bags of life – and a stunning array of costumes – make Forth Children’s Theatre’s Pippin, at the Edinburgh Tabernacle to Saturday, another thoroughly entertaining and accomplished production.

Oliver!
★★☆☆☆ Disconnected:
A pair of very fine interpretations, backed by a company intent on performing at the peak of their abilities mark out an Oliver! which aims high but suffers from the constraints of its own conceit.
Jesus Christ Superstar
★★★★★ Divine
Tuneful, committed and utterly enthralling, Forth Children’s Theatre’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar features enough talent on and off stage to make any other Fringe productions green with envy.
