Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
★★★☆☆ Clear
New grassroots company Gutter Theatre give a commendably solid showing for their inaugural production: Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, playing upstairs at Assembly Roxy to Saturday.
Into the Woods
★★★★☆ Melodic
Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s production of Into the Woods, at the Church Hill until Saturday, is musically strong enough to overcome any issues in staging.
Grease
★★★★☆ Slick
The EU Footlights student cast and crew hand jive their way through the 1950s-set musical Grease in an energetic and fun production at Paradise in Augustine’s for the last full week of the Fringe.
Spring Awakening
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
Spring Awakening, from Theatre Paradok at the Bedlam, is an earnest and ambitious production that does not always succeed despite some accomplished performances.
The Sound of Music
★★★★☆ Clear-voiced:
Youth musicals company A-Team Productions has pulled out all the musical stops this week in a hugely enjoyable production of The Sound of Music up at the Church Hill Theatre.
Oliver!
★★☆☆☆ Disconnected:
A pair of very fine interpretations, backed by a company intent on performing at the peak of their abilities mark out an Oliver! which aims high but suffers from the constraints of its own conceit.
Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ Powerful and polished
Big, bold and aiming for the highest possible standards, A-Team Productions’ first offering is very impressive indeed.
