Open call for Eusog’s March production:

The Addams Family
★★★★☆ Wildly macabre:
Halloween may be but a memory, but the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group proves that there’s still space for a little of the macabre in town.
Little Shop of Horrors
✭✭✭✭✭ Fabulous
Young critics scheme review:
Fast-paced, funny and moving, the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group brings to life Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s cult classic Little Shop of Horrors.
The Gondoliers
✭✭✭✩✩ Sparkly in places:
Soaraway soloists and a sprinkling of modern references add much needed sparkle to Eusog’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers which elsewhere lacks emphasis both on stage and in the pit.
Chess
✭✭✭✩✩ Fast-moving piece:
Notably well sung and rattling along at speed, EUSOG’s production of Chess, at the Pleasance all week, lacks assurance at times but is largely successful.
Musical Chess, mate
Audition details for double dose of Chess:
Details for the Edinburgh Music Theatre’s March 2015 production of Chess the Musical at the Church Hill Theatre have been announced, with open auditions taking place next week.
Avenue Q
✭✭✭✭✩ Shooting for the stars
Remember when you were young and they said you were special? That you could do anything you wanted if you just believed? Well, they lied.
The Mikado – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Flirting with celebration:
A hundred productions down the line, and the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group returns to the Mikado, the show which launched the company back in 1961 under the guidance of John Burgess.
Review – The Mystery of Edwin Drood
✭✭✭✩✩ Exuberantly immersive:
Sprightly and spirited, Eusog’s take on the musical version of Charles Dickens’ unfinished final novel immerses its audience in the show from before curtain up.
Review – Patience
✭✭✭✩✩ Sparkling:
Splendidly silly and tilting along at a merry rate, the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s production of Patience at the Pleasance has everything necessary to make it sparkle.
