We Will Rock You
★★★★☆ Exuberant
Loud, assertive and extremely accomplished, We Will Rock You, from the Bohemians at the Festival Theatre until Saturday, is thoroughly enjoyable.
Rock of Ages
★★★★★ Phenomenal
Bare Productions continue their streak of high-calibre musicals with a Rock of Ages that roars onto the Sanctuary stage at Paradises at Augustines with an all-star company.
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
★★★★★ Long live the Queen
The Bohemians open their limited run of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert – The Musical at the Festival Theatre to a standing ovation, with a production full of glitz, glam, disco, and heart.
Priscilla goes Bohemian
Bohemians’ Priscilla for Festival Theatre
Edinburgh has a long relationship with The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which was the opening gala movie at its International Film Festival in 1994, when the after party dress-code was “black tie or drag”. We speak to Greg McCafferty-Thomson, Graeme Melvin and Dean McAvoy about donning frocks for the film’s musical adaption.
Into the Woods
★★★★★ Dark
Bare Productions go hard on Into the Woods, James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s popular mashup of fairytales, to expose its utter cruelty and the callousness of many of the favourite pantomime heroes that people the musical.
RENT
★★★★★ Passionate
Bare Productions have once again sold out their entire Fringe run before August even started – a remarkable achievement, but one which is entirely justified by the quality of this production of RENT at Paradise in Augustines .
9 to 5 The Musical
★★★☆☆ Pacy fun
There is considerable enjoyment to be had in Edinburgh Music Theatre’s production of 9 to 5 the Musical at the Church Hill.
