Steel Magnolias
★★★☆☆ Emotionally charged:
There’s strong wit and a spark of real anger to Blackout Productions’ take on Steel Magnolias at the Magnusson Centre in the Edinburgh Academy to Saturday.

Review – Smooth and Saxy
It’s a bijou night out at the Queen Charlotte Rooms this week, where local big stage musical specialists, Tempo, are putting on a smooching cabaret-style affair in the upper room as part of the Leith Festival.

Review – Nunsense The Musical
★★★★☆ Habit-forming
Edinburgh amateur musicals company Tempo has pulled off a blinder with this slick, well-choreographed and superbly performed production of nutty nun musical Nunsense.

Æ Musical Review – Gypsy
★★★☆☆:
It is easy to see why Gypsy has been described as one of the greatest American musicals as Tempo’s production hits its stride and starts cruising through the numbers.
