Guys and Dolls
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Southern Light’s take on Guys and Dolls at the Festival Theatre is beautifully sung, acted with comic glee, and falls only just short of greatness.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ Blooming marvellous
The comic horror musical Little Shop of Horrors comes to Portobello Town Hall this week courtesy of Stage Door and proves shockingly good.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ Exuberant performances
Little Shop of Horrors, by Room 29 at Augustine United Church, is a beautifully sung production that is high on storytelling, even if some of the visual elements are less convincing.
Merry Crisis! A Comedy in Carols
★★★★☆ Memorable
The Forth Act’s festive offering: Merry Crisis! A Comedy in Carols, is a heartfelt new one-act with music, good cheer, holiday family drama, and a thorough dusting of joy – all wrapped up in a neat bow.
Little Red Robin Hood
★★★☆☆ Clever
Little Red Robin Hood from Happy Sad Productions is a clever mash-up of Little Red Riding Hood, Robin Hood, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, with elements of other pantos thrown in for good measure.
Avenue Q
★★★★☆ Outrageous
Avenue Q, the Sesame Street parody for adults, filled with X-rated musical numbers, enjoys a skilful production from Sound Events Scotland at St Stephen’s Theatre, with a talented cast and some fun comedy moments.
All Shook Up
★★★★☆ Hugely entertaining
Queen Margaret University Musical Theatre Society’s production of All Shook Up, at the Pleasance Theatre for four performances only, is a hugely entertaining jukebox musical from the book by Joe DiPietro.
