Dear Evan Hansen
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Dear Evan Hansen, presented by Room 29 Theatre at the Church Hill, is staged with commitment and considerable skill.
Romeo and Juliet
★★★☆☆ Expansive
Romeo and Juliet, from the Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company at the Pleasance, is a production on a grand scale. There is much about it that is praiseworthy, but in the end its ambition does prove a disadvantage.

★★★☆☆ Delicate
Charm and charisma run through Edinburgh Studio Opera’s production of Cendrillon, Jules Massenet’s take on the Cinderella story, playing at the Pleasance theatre for three nights only.
Singin’ in the Rain
★★★★☆ Old-fashioned charmer
A touch of classic Hollywood glamour pays a visit to the Pleasance Theatre this week as Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group mount a production of Singin’ in the Rain.
Guys and Dolls
★★★★☆ Exuberant
Visually and aurally impressive, Edinburgh University Footlights’ production of Guys and Dolls at the Pleasance is buoyant and extremely enjoyable.
Sunday in the Park with George
★★★☆☆ Picturesque
Edinburgh University Footlights’ production of Sunday in the Park with George, at Paradise in Augustines for the final week of the Fringe, is crafted with huge care and the maximum of good intentions.
Company
★★★★☆ Vibrant
EU Footlights burst onto the tiny upstairs stage of the Roman Eagle Lodge with a gloriously effective production of Company for one week only, running to Sunday August 14.
The Pirates of Penzance
★★★☆☆ Steady
The Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group sets its heart on duty and its eye on the main prize with Edinburgh’s second production of The Pirates of Penzance in as many weeks.
