Richard Meek
Rocky Horror Show
★★★★☆ Anything but rocky
There’s a light, over at Greenside Place as The Rocky Horror Show returns to the Playhouse with its 50th anniversary show, says Martin Gray.
Hairspray
★★★★☆ Pump up the volume
Unlikely civil rights heroine Tracy Turnblad dances her way to a social justice triumph as Hairspray returns to the Playhouse for a week until Saturday and comes back to Glasgow at the end of the month.
Annie
★★★☆☆ Optimistic:
The sun, as always, is coming out tomorrow in Annie, but in this touring production at the Playhouse to Saturday, the orphan’s optimism is more dearly bought than it might be.
Lesley Joseph for Miss Hannigan
Lesley Joseph to star in Annie tour for Edinburgh:
Lesley Joseph will play the role of Miss Hannigan when the touring production of Annie visits the Edinburgh Playhouse in September and October 2019.
Spamalot
✭✭✭✭✩ Medieval dead funny:
There’s no pork, but plenty of spice and some jolly enjoyable ham as the Monty Python musical returns to Edinburgh – with far fewer Spam references than you might expect from the title.
