9 to 5 the Musical
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
From the crisp chords of the live band to the acres of powder-blue eye-makeup, there is no faulting the effort put into EU Footlights’ ambitious production of Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 the Musical at the Pleasance all week.
Pippin
★★★★☆ Fulfilling
Edinburgh University Footlights’ Pippin, at Paradise in Augustines for the Fringe’s final week, has an infectious enthusiasm and energy that are impossible to resist.
Hersterectomy
★★★☆☆ Promising
Edinburgh based theatre collective The Counterminers explore female reproductive rights in Hersterectomy, their new devised piece, performing somewhat appropriately in a venue that is reminiscent of a womb.
