The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee
★★★★☆ Satisfyingly goofy
In The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee, at the RSE Theatre for the final two weeks of the Fringe, Happy Sad Productions attempt to make sense of this quirky musical based on that particularly American Institution – the spelling bee.
Generation Z: The Future is Unwritten
★★★☆☆ Hybrid drive
Life changes – and the more it changes the more it stays the same. This conundrum – truism – lies at the heart of Generation Z: The Future is Unwritten the Strange Town youth theatres’ imaginative and compelling lockdown project which has a hybrid live performance at Out Of The Blue this weekend.
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.
Thoroughly Modern Millie
★★★★☆ Thoroughly musical:
Forth Children’s Theatre have another winner in Thoroughly Modern Millie, which contains enough quality singing and dancing to fill several shows.
