I love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change
★★★★☆ Deliciously cynical:
Room 29 theatre has come out of the Covid closet with a neatly packaged and deliciously cynical production of I love you, your perfect, now change available online for just 24 hours.
Room 29 Go Online
New show to replace postponed EdFringe production:
Edinburgh’s Room 29 Theatre has today, Monday 15 June 2020, put out an open call for an amateur production of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, to be staged online at the end of July.
Spring Awakening
★★★★☆ Spring in the step:
Dark and bruising in many parts, TBC Productions has created a properly adult production of alt rock musical Spring Awakening, which is at the Festival Studio to Saturday.
Spring Awakening Auditions
TBC Productions sets audition date:
Edinburgh amateur musicals company TBC Productions has announced audition dates for its June 2018 production of Duncan Sheik’s musical version of Spring Awakening.
It Shoulda Been You
★★★★☆ Light-hearted and melodic:
Flying along with tuneful purpose, It Shoulda Been You, Room 29’s debut production at theSpace on Jeffrey Street, is a definite hit.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★☆☆ Midsummer fun:
There’s bundles of fun and bonkers B-movie mayhem in Little Shop of Horrors, the debut musical from TBC Productions, which is at the Studio on Potterrow to Saturday.
Urinetown: The Musical
★★★☆☆ Tuneful:
Accomplished musicality and some excellent dancing distinguish Edinburgh University Footlights’ Urinetown at the Church Hill. However, it is at the service of a damp satire that never truly ignites.
The Gondoliers
✭✭✭✩✩ Sparkly in places:
Soaraway soloists and a sprinkling of modern references add much needed sparkle to Eusog’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers which elsewhere lacks emphasis both on stage and in the pit.
Chess
✭✭✭✩✩ Fast-moving piece:
Notably well sung and rattling along at speed, EUSOG’s production of Chess, at the Pleasance all week, lacks assurance at times but is largely successful.
