SLO Sings For the King’s
★★★★☆ Pure Theatre
Southern Light Opera burst back onto the stage after the Covid hiatus in full celebratory mode with a portmanteau show of songs from its back catalogue which refuses to be obvious, while rounding off the night with a fanfare of show stoppers.
Anything Goes
★★★★★ It’s the Tops!
Everything goes extremely well in Southern Light’s take on the timeless Cole Porter musical, playing at the King’s this week until Saturday.
Getting a kick out of SLO…
It’s De-Lovely at the King’s this week:
Edinburgh’s oldest musical theatre company, Southern Light Opera, is taking to the High Seas this week with a production of Cole Porter’s breakthrough musical, Anything Goes, at the King’s.
Showcase 2019
★★★★☆ Melodic juggernaut:
Showcase 2019 at the Church Hill Theatre is an object lesson in how to ring the changes on a familiar formula and keep the result delightfully fresh.
Review – Cabaret
Glammed-up girls in scanty outfits provide the backdrop to the George Watson’s College production of Cabaret, but this is a show which successfully balances its looks with great performances and a strong political message.
