Once On This Island
★★★★☆ Poignant energy:
There is real emotional pull to Forth Children’s Theatre’s Once On This Island at the Edinburgh Tabernacle. Director Alex Gordon has fashioned a production that relies on careful staging and a fidelity to the story that makes for an expressive, impressive production.
Sister Act
★★★★★ Nun better:
Tuneful, wonderfully acted and with the comic momentum of a juggernaut, Forth Children’s Theatre’s Sister Act at the Edinburgh Tabernacle is almost unimaginably entertaining.
Loserville
★★★☆☆ Geektastic fun:
Grease meets Glee, as the Forth Children’s Theatre show what it’s like to be an American teenager in this fun and energetic performance of Loserville.
Bugsy Malone
★★★★☆ Effervescent:
Harnessing the skills of another clutch of ludicrously talented young performers, Forth Children’s Theatre’s production of Bugsy Malone is almost ridiculously enjoyable.
Jesus Christ Superstar
★★★★★ Divine
Tuneful, committed and utterly enthralling, Forth Children’s Theatre’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar features enough talent on and off stage to make any other Fringe productions green with envy.
