FCT 45th Anniversary Gala
★★★★★ Array of talent
Forth Children’s Theatre’s 45th Anniversary Gala at the Church Hill is a fitting tribute to a mainstay of the Edinburgh stage, and as enjoyable a show as you could find anywhere.

The Addams Family – a New Musical
★★★★★ Brilliant
Forth Children’s Theatre’s return to the Fringe, with The Addams Family – a New Musical at Broughton High School, is something to be welcomed. And they are as good as ever – if not better.

Beauty & the Beast: The Panto
★★★☆☆ Charming
Beauty & the Beast: The Panto, the Christmas offering from Forth Children’s Theatre, has the appeal of a traditional pantomime. Like many pantos, it lacks a little in subtlety and smoothness, but makes up for it in determination and pizzazz.

School Days & Matilda Jr
School Days: ★★★★★ Outrageously good
Matilda Jr: ★★★☆☆ Rebellious
The LYAMC are back where they belong: on stage at the Church Hill Theatre in a double bill combining a portmanteau concert with the junior version of the musical of Roald Dhal’s Matilda.
