Roald Dahl
Matilda the Musical
★★★★☆ Huge energy
The return to the Playhouse of the unstoppable juggernaut that is the RSC’s Matilda the Musical after seven years, is certainly a cause for celebration.
Waiting for Wonka
★★★☆☆ Overstretched
Half Trick’s Waiting for Wonka at Augustine Church has plenty of ideas, excellent staging and some genuinely terrific performances, but never quite convinces in the way it threatens to.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
★★★★☆ Pure imagination
Balerno Theatre Company’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Church Hill may not be a traditional Christmas show but certainly provides a large helping of festive cheer.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
★★★★☆ Appetising treat
Community group Captivate Theatre present a new production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Edinburgh Academy which fills the mind with wonder.
Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical Junior
★★★★★ Charming
Fringe regulars Captivate Theatre bring their sell-out junior version of Matilda to the Edinburgh Academy for the second year, playing there for the first half of the fringe.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical
★★★☆☆ Visually impressive
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical is an impressive exhibition of theatrical skill that will satisfy fans of the story.
Matilda The Musical
★★★★☆ Storytelling musical theatre:
Stories rule in the RSC’s brilliant production of Matilda The Musical in an adaptation which feels properly true to the spirit of its Roald Dahl original – complete with dangerous spikes and revolting children.
Fantastic Mr Fox
★★★☆☆ Entertaining:
Fantastic Mr Fox is a musical for children based on the classic book by Roald Dahl. It is the same basic story as the book, but lots of things that Mr Fox does are not the same.
