Stephen Arden
A New Life
★★★★☆ Baby blues
A New Life, Andy McGregor’s A Play, A Pie and A Pint hit about a young couple failing to come to terms with unexpected parenthood, returns to the Traverse for one night.
Crocodile Rock
★★★☆☆ Strong performance
Crocodile Rock – at the Traverse for one performance only – is an affecting and well-judged piece of musical theatre, that only suffers from being stretched a little too far.
Spamalot
★★★★☆ Hilarious:
The Mercury Theatre, Colchester’s touring version of Monty Python’s Spamalot for Selladoor Productions is consistently funny and may just be the best version of the show to have come to Edinburgh.
Avenue Q
★★★★☆ Acerbic:
Packed with proper grownup moments and thoroughly entertaining with it, the Sell A Door production of Avenue Q steams back into the King’s with its cynicism buttons set to stun.
Avenue Q
★★★★★ Streets ahead
An adults-only take on Sesame Street, Avenue Q teaches us a thing or two about life while being one of the wittiest, most tuneful shows in Broadway history.
