Guys and Dolls
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Southern Light’s take on Guys and Dolls at the Festival Theatre is beautifully sung, acted with comic glee, and falls only just short of greatness.
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.
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.
Jesus Christ Superstar
★★★★☆ It’s the buzz
Southern Light blaze onto the Festival Theatre stage with their production of the Lloyd Webber & Rice rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, tackling this modern classic with a monstrous cast and ambitious production values.

★★★★☆ Pure imagination
Balerno Theatre Company’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Church Hill may not be a traditional Christmas show but certainly provides a large helping of festive cheer.

★★★★☆ Wonderful fun
Alice in Pantoland, from Balerno Theatre Company at the Church Hill, is a traditional pantomime experience crammed full of delights.
Titanic
★★★★☆ Huge:
Epic in sweep, thoroughly musical and breathtakingly staged, Southern Light Opera’s Titanic The Musical has some real drawbacks but provides marvellous entertainment overall.
