The Drowsy Chaperone
★★★★☆ Sheer enjoyment:
Considerable musicality, high production values and dollops of good fun make the Twilighters’ production of The Drowsy Chaperone at the Church Hill a real treat.
Stepping Out – The Musical
★★★☆☆ Crisp:
Delicate touches and gutsy performances allow the Twilighters to rise above Stepping Out – The Musical’s shortcomings in their inaugural production.
Brigadoon – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Solidly entertaining
Romance and kitsch are present in equal proportions in Southern Light Opera’s staging of Brigadoon at the Edinburgh King’s until Saturday.
Brigadoon looms out the mist again
Edinburgh’s oldest amateur musical theatre company take over the King’s this week with a new production of Brigadoon, the musical about a Highland village which appears only one day every century.
Review – Oklahoma!
★★★★☆ Long but Strong
It’s seventy years since Oklahoma! first took to the Broadway stage, with its gorgeous, downbeat opening of Oh What a Beautiful Morning, sung by cowboy Curly to the butter-churning Aunt Eller.
Æ Musical Review – Fiddler on the Roof
★★★★☆
There is plenty of tradition and lots of great singing in Southern Light Opera’s robust production of Fiddler on the Roof. It is a show which not only hits the marks bang on but which makes room for a big, brave ending.
