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
Quiz
★★★★☆ Strong
Quiz, from Leitheatre at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday, is a cleverly staged revival of James Graham’s play about the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? “Coughing Major” scandal.
Jack and the Beanstalk
★★★★☆ Porty Pals
What do you get when you combine an evil landlord and his devious henchwoman, a boy and his mother just trying to survive, and their faithful cow? Well a pantomime of course— what were you expecting?
FCT 45th Anniversary Gala
★★★★★ Array of talent
Forth Children’s Theatre’s 45th Anniversary Gala at the Church Hill is a fitting tribute to a mainstay of the Edinburgh stage, and as enjoyable a show as you could find anywhere.
Cinderella open call
Paid opportunity at Porty Panto…
Cinderella, the new professional pantomime at Portobello Town Hall from Stage Door Entertainment, has put out an open call for the show’s principals.
The Addams Family – a New Musical
★★★★★ Brilliant
Forth Children’s Theatre’s return to the Fringe, with The Addams Family – a New Musical at Broughton High School, is something to be welcomed. And they are as good as ever – if not better.
Beauty & the Beast: The Panto
★★★☆☆ Charming
Beauty & the Beast: The Panto, the Christmas offering from Forth Children’s Theatre, has the appeal of a traditional pantomime. Like many pantos, it lacks a little in subtlety and smoothness, but makes up for it in determination and pizzazz.
