St Stephen’s
Avenue Q
★★★★☆ Outrageous
Avenue Q, the Sesame Street parody for adults, filled with X-rated musical numbers, enjoys a skilful production from Sound Events Scotland at St Stephen’s Theatre, with a talented cast and some fun comedy moments.
Rent
★★★☆☆ Powerful
Sound Events Scotland have risen to the challenge of Jonathan Larson’s Rent commendably, with an exuberant cast totally immersed in its demands.
Legally Blonde
★★★★☆ Energetic
Sound Events Scotland’s Production of Legally Blonde at Saint Stephen’s Theatre for the whole Fringe, captivates the audience with an inspiring performance of the well loved musical.
Dames at Sea
★★★★☆ Sea swell:
Chorus girls and sailor boys fill St Stephen’s Stockbridge as MGA’s winter season of shows continues with graduating Musical Theatre course students.
Spring Awakening
★★★☆☆ Echo chamber:
There is plenty of potential in Shoogly Peg’s production of the musical version of Spring Awakening, based on Frank Wedekind’s often censored play of 1891, at St Stephen’s to Saturday.
American Idiot
★★★☆☆ Energetic:
Full of sound but lacking in fury, Shoogly Peg Productions’ American Idiot is stuffed with talent and energy, but ultimately lacks focus.
