PPP: Stay
★★★☆☆ Engaging
Stay, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a tuneful and emotional piece.
Sister Act
★★★★★ Joyful
For an evening of laugh out loud entertainment which will send you home singing, look no further than the UK tour of Sister Act, playing all week at the Festival Theatre.
Come Die With Me: The Murder Mystery Musical Parody
★★★☆☆ Exuberant
Happy Sad’s Come Die With Me: The Murder Mystery Musical Parody, at Just the Tonic @ The Grassmarket Centre, is often as unwieldy and potentially confusing as its title. However, the end result is undoubtedly good-hearted and good fun.
Dogfight
★★★☆☆ Heartfelt
Dogfight, from Thistle N’ Thorn at Paradise in Augustines for the Fringe’s first week, is a melodic and cleverly staged production.
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.
Sunshine on Leith
★★★☆☆ Catchy tunes
Captivate Theatre’s sell out audiences for their production of Sunshine on Leith, in the Bijou Spiegel tent outside the Assembly Rooms on George Street, is testament to both the show’s popularity and the group’s reputation.
