Hairspray – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ Depth and pleasure
It’s Good Morning Baltimore at the Edinburgh Academy’s theatre all this week where the young members of the Forth Children’s Theatre are getting it right with a super production of Hairspray.
In The Heights
✭✭✭✭✩ Dynamic musical premiere:
Energetic, high-tempo and thrilling, the Edinburgh University Footlights’ Scottish premiere of In The Heights is a real treat.
Review: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Blackout Productions make a solid debut with a musically crisp and theatrically entertaining production of Tony award-winner the 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee, at the St Brides Centre to Saturday.
Review – Godspell
✭✭✭✭✩ Casts a spell:
Godspell may be a Fringe stalwart but FCT’s production at Inverleith Church Hall is particularly noteworthy. And not just because it is the the first British appearance of the new vocal and musical arrangemements from the 2012 Broadway revival.
The Drowsy Chaperone
★★★★☆ precise
You can almost smell the passion coming off Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s splendid production of The Drowsy Chaperone in the Edinburgh Fringe.
Review – 13 The Musical
★★★☆☆:
Bursting with exuberance, big beats and hormonally-enhanced doses of angst, the Forth Children’s Theatre production of 13 The Musical, captures that particularly vicious age when you officially become a teenager.
