Made in Dagenham
★★★★★ Undisputed excellence
An industrial dispute doesn’t sound the most promising material for a musical, but Made in Dagenham at The Brunton Theatre made my week.

Nativity! The Musical
★★★★☆ Sparkly and shining
Nativity! The Musical, Captivate Theatre’s seasonal offering at Fettes, is ideal Christmas fare. Full of joy and melody, it sometimes lacks polish, but never lacks heart.

Spamalot!
★★★★☆ Laugh-out-Loud:
Staged with great exuberance by the Musselburgh Amateur Musical Association, Spamalot! – at the Brunton to Saturday – is an infectiously joyful affair.

All in a Knight’s Work…
Spamalot? It’s the big MAMA show:
Cheeky, cheerful and packed with a bunch of risque references, Monty Python’s Spamalot at the Brunton from Wednesday, is something of a change of style for the Musselburgh Amateur Musical Association.
