Church Hill Theatre
Sinbad the Sailor
★★★★☆ Inviting
Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s annual pantomime is always one of the most keenly-awaited festive shows, and Sinbad the Sailor lives up to the anticipation.
Beauty and The Beast The Pantomime
★★★★☆ Joyous
Balerno Theatre Company’s Beauty and The Beast The Pantomime, running at the Church Hill to Saturday, is a gloriously fun affair from an energetic community theatre for – and featuring – adults and children alike
It’s A Wonderful Life
★★☆☆☆ Heartwarming
Mary Elliott Nelson’s adaptation of the critically-acclaimed classic 1946 film, It’s A Wonderful Life is a heartwarming, festive watch in Leitheatre’s production running at the Church Hill Theatre until 29 November.
The Cher Show
★★★★☆ Boisterous
Allegro come out canny with their big and incorrigibly bold production of The Cher Show at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday, engaging fully with Cher’s story, her hits and the legend she has become.
The Mirror Crack’d
★★★☆☆ Poised
Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d provides good old-fashioned whodunnit thrills for Threepenny Theatricals at the Church Hill until Saturday.
Showcase 2025 – I See Stars
★★★★☆ Sheer entertainment
It is easy to take Showcase for granted year after year, mainly because it consistently produces a show that is crammed full of talented performers, cleverly chosen material and well-drilled performances.
The Wizard of Oz
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
There are some tremendous performances from the young cast in LYAMC’s The Wizard of Oz, at the Church Hill until Saturday. Much of the production is very impressive, with only some uneven staging letting it down.
As You Like It A Radical Retelling (EIF)
★★★★☆ Remarkable
As You Like It A Radical Retelling at the Church Hill in the International Festival is a wonderfully theatrical and challenging piece, dealing with hugely important issues in a way that demands attention.
Cutting the Tightrope
*** Politically charged
Dealing with censorship and artistic freedom, Cutting The Tightrope at the Church Hill for four performances as part of the International Festival, is an honest and fearless production whose approach is not wholly successful.
The Watsons
★★★★☆ Intriguing
The Watsons, from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at the Church Hill, is an attractive production of a clever (if distinctly odd) literary adaptation.
