Seussical the Musical
★★★☆☆ Wordy up:
Solidly entertaining if a little unfettered around the edges, LYAMC’s take on Seussical the Musical gets the tunes humming around the head and acrobatics sweeping across the stage.
Honk!
“★★★☆☆ Paddling hard”
Boasting a succession of well-choreographed ensemble moments, LYAMC’s production of Honk!, at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday, also hits strong notes on the vocal front.
Prophecy
★★☆☆☆ Future potential
Raw around the edges and somewhat uneven in its storytelling, new musical Prophecy which has its world premiere run at St Brides all this week, nevertheless succeeds in bringing its hero, the Brahan Seer, to life.
The Prophecy is Now
New Scottish musical premieres this week:
Prophecy, a brand new Scottish musical by MST Productions, will get its world premiere at the St Bride’s Centre this week, running from Tuesday to Saturday.
Review – Sweet Charity
✭✭✭✩✩ Enjoyably ambitious
Consistent entertainment and a high level of skill mark out Allegro’s production of Sweet Charity at the Church Hill all this week, despite the occasional mis-step.
Review – The Wedding Singer
★★★★☆ Fizzy
Packed with bounce and swaggering with confidence, Allegro’s production of the Wedding Singer is a hearty – and slightly unexpected – treat up at the Church Hill Theatre all week.
Review: Carousel
★★★☆☆ Emotional
Unfettered tragedy, lumps in the throat and, yes, big fat man-tears are the order of the evening in the Bohemians’ production of Carousel at the Church Hill Theatre all this week.
Review – MacPherson’s Rant
New musical hits the the high notes:
Bold, earthy and playing heavily on its roots, John Ward’s brand spanking new musical, MacPherson’s Rant, received its world premier in an amateur production up at the Church Hill Theatre last night.
