Olivia Hall
Guys and Dolls
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Southern Light’s take on Guys and Dolls at the Festival Theatre is beautifully sung, acted with comic glee, and falls only just short of greatness.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ Exuberant performances
Little Shop of Horrors, by Room 29 Theatre at Augustine United Church, is a beautifully sung production that is high on storytelling, even if some of the visual elements are less convincing.
Into the Woods
★★★★★ Dark
Bare Productions go hard on Into the Woods, James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s popular mashup of fairytales, to expose its utter cruelty and the callousness of many of the favourite pantomime heroes that people the musical.
Company
★★★★☆ Vibrant
EU Footlights burst onto the tiny upstairs stage of the Roman Eagle Lodge with a gloriously effective production of Company for one week only, running to Sunday August 14.
Legally Blonde – The Musical
★★★★☆ Sugar rush
Radiating the sheer enjoyment of being back in a theatre, Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s production of Legally Blonde-The Musical is huge in scale, excellently put together, and full of sugary goodness.
Legally on stage
Eusog return to live with “biggest” show ever
The first of Edinburgh’s Amateurs out on stage following this coming Monday’s lifting of the audience Covid cap will be Eusog with its “biggest production ever” – Legally Blonde the Musical.
Into the Woods
★★★★☆ Shady:
There’s laughter, edged with more than little darkness, to the Eusog’s splendid and convincing production of Into The Woods playing the Pleasance theatre to Saturday.
