Bohemians
We Will Rock You
★★★★☆ Exuberant
Loud, assertive and extremely accomplished, We Will Rock You, from the Bohemians at the Festival Theatre until Saturday, is thoroughly enjoyable.
A Bohemian Banquet
★★★☆☆ High-energy
A Bohemian Banquet at the Edinburgh New Town Church is a true feast for the eyes and ears. A high-energy showcase of musical theatre talent, it’s packed with toe-tapping numbers and polished performances.
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
★★★★★ Long live the Queen
The Bohemians open their limited run of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert – The Musical at the Festival Theatre to a standing ovation, with a production full of glitz, glam, disco, and heart.
Priscilla goes Bohemian
Bohemians’ Priscilla for Festival Theatre
Edinburgh has a long relationship with The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which was the opening gala movie at its International Film Festival in 1994, when the after party dress-code was “black tie or drag”. We speak to Greg McCafferty-Thomson, Graeme Melvin and Dean McAvoy about donning frocks for the film’s musical adaption.
A Bohemian Life
★★★★☆ Joyful
The Bohemian Lyric Opera Company filled Edinburgh New Town Church with joy and show tunes for two days this Fringe with their concert A Bohemian Life.
Sunshine on Leith
★★★★☆ High quality
The Bohemians Lyric Opera Company’s production of Sunshine on Leith at the Church Hill Theatre is tuneful, colourful, emotionally direct and builds up a considerable head of steam.
All Shook Up
★★★★☆ Energetic
The Bohemians Lyric Opera Company’s presentation of the Elvis Presley jukebox musical All Shook Up at the Church Hill is a riotous and fun-packed affair.
On Stage Mon 13 – Sun 19 Feb 2023
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week…
It’s a big musicals week for Edinburgh’s amateur theatre companies with no less than three big musicals hitting the stage this week, along with touring theatre from the Citizens.
A Bohemian Broadway
★★★☆☆ Hits the right note
The Bohemians Lyric Opera Company is back for its traditional Fringe showcase, alighting on St Andrew’s and St George’s for two nights only with A Bohemian Broadway.
Shrek the Musical
★★★☆☆ Swamptastic
Just 904 days after its first rehearsal, the Bohemians Lyric Opera Company’s production of Shrek the Musical arrives on the King’s stage, battered by Covid in more ways than one, but brave and unbowed none-the-less.
