Rodgers and Hammerstein
The Sound of Music
★★★★☆ No problems with this Maria:
The Playhouse was alive with the sound of a singalong as the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical returned for a too-short run, on this week until Saturday.
Carousel
✭✭✭✩✩ Visually stunning:
Opera North’s production of Rodger and Hammerstein’s Carousel is a curious combination of drama, dance and song that on occasion both hits and misses the mark.
Review – Oklahoma!
★★★★☆ Long but Strong
It’s seventy years since Oklahoma! first took to the Broadway stage, with its gorgeous, downbeat opening of Oh What a Beautiful Morning, sung by cowboy Curly to the butter-churning Aunt Eller.
Review – South Pacific
★★★★☆ Well-staged
The enchantment is in plentiful supply over an evening spent in the company of this touring revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, at the Edinburgh Playhouse until 14 April.
Review: Carousel
★★★☆☆ Emotional
Unfettered tragedy, lumps in the throat and, yes, big fat man-tears are the order of the evening in the Bohemians’ production of Carousel at the Church Hill Theatre all this week.
