★★★☆☆ Steady
The Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group sets its heart on duty and its eye on the main prize with Edinburgh’s second production of The Pirates of Penzance in as many weeks.
Legally Blonde – The Musical
★★★★☆ Sugar rush
Radiating the sheer enjoyment of being back in a theatre, Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s production of Legally Blonde-The Musical is huge in scale, excellently put together, and full of sugary goodness.
