Spamalot
★★★★☆ Joyous
The moment Josh Wood’s 17-strong band strikes up, it is obvious that Happy Sad Productions are not here to mess around. To play, certainly, but Spamalot at Portobello Town Hall is a show with polish, intent and purpose.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ Blooming marvellous
The comic horror musical Little Shop of Horrors comes to Portobello Town Hall this week courtesy of Stage Door and proves shockingly good.
Sweeney Todd
★★★★☆ Vigorous
Captivate Theatre take on the Famous Spiegeltent with their production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street through the 24th, bringing Sondheim’s chilling musical, directed by Sally Lyall, to life beneath the canopy.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
★★★★☆ Terrific ensemble
Captivate’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame at the Edinburgh Academy is an imposing production, full of fine singing and acting.
The Phantom of the Opera
