Playhouse
Pretty Woman for Edinburgh
Playhouse dates in April 2024
Pretty Woman: The Musical, the 80s Hollywood rom-com live on stage, is playing the Edinburgh Playhouse in April 2024 after making its Scottish debut at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal in November this year.
Jersey Boys
★★★★☆ Slick and seamless
Packed with hits and bristling with energy, Jersey Boys, the musical telling of the formation and career of the Four Season, returns to the Playhouse for another extended stay until February 4.
Burns
★★☆☆☆ Messy
That a world premiere should take place at the Playhouse is not the oddest thing about the long, over 30-year gestation of Burns – and, sadly, not the most inexplicable thing about the end result.
New Year Listings
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages in the New Year of 2023?
Not many shows carry on past the New Year but there are a trio of notable exceptions as well as a final last gasp hit of amateur pantomime. Oh yes there is!

★★★★★ Simply Loverly
