Shrek the Musical
★★★★☆ Captivating
Captivate Theatre’s production of Shrek The Musical at The Rose Theatre is a case of young performers being better than their material.
All Shook Up
★★★★☆ Highly entertaining
Young Critics Scheme:
Featuring many of Elvis Presley’s greatest hits, Captivate Theatre’s production of All Shook Up at Gilded Balloon’s Rose Street Theatre for the first week of the Fringe is a rollercoaster of love.
The Sound of Music
★★★★☆ Clear-voiced:
Youth musicals company A-Team Productions has pulled out all the musical stops this week in a hugely enjoyable production of The Sound of Music up at the Church Hill Theatre.
In The Heights
★★★☆☆ Fiery:
The tuneful commitment of the young performers in A-Team’s production of In The Heights means that problems of a less than ideal staging are soon forgotten.
Oliver!
★★☆☆☆ Disconnected:
A pair of very fine interpretations, backed by a company intent on performing at the peak of their abilities mark out an Oliver! which aims high but suffers from the constraints of its own conceit.
