The Drowsy Chaperone
★★★☆☆ Strong performances
Edinburgh Music Theatre’s post-pandemic return at the Church Hill Theatre is The Drowsy Chaperone, a show which began life as a collection of songs presented to comedian and writer Bob Martin and his fiancée as a wedding present.
Annie Get Your Gun
★★★☆☆ Tootin’ ‘n’ Shootin’:
There’s no shooting of vocal blanks from Encore and Musical Youth in this thoroughly entertaining and engaging production of Annie Get Your Gun at the Brunton through to Saturday.
Thoroughly Modern Millie
★★☆☆☆ Shiny-edged:
Exhilarating moments and a couple of great individual performances ensure a shiny edge to Encore’s production of Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Brunton to Saturday.
Me and My Girl
★★★★☆”Go there, stay there!”:
Encore, the East Lothian-based amateur theatre company, certainly deserve their applause as they take the musical journey from Lambeth Walk to Hampshire in a bright My and My Girl.
