Pippin
★★★★☆ Fulfilling
Edinburgh University Footlights’ Pippin, at Paradise in Augustines for the Fringe’s final week, has an infectious enthusiasm and energy that are impossible to resist.
Who We Are Now
Work in Progress: 70s/80s vibe
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Who We Are Now, written and directed by Thaddeus Buttrey and produced by Ching Zhan, is a rock opera presented as a work in progress, that is already giving off a very enjoyable 70s/80s vibe.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ Inventive
Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group has brought plenty of invention to the store in its pleasing production of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s B-Movie musical, Little Shop of Horrors, at the Church Hill Theatre.
Horror Shop for Eusog
Schlock horror not Savoy Opera for student company
This week the Edinburgh University’s Savoy Opera company, Eusog, is swapping G&S for Menken and Ashman, with a production of Little Shop of Horrors at the Church Hill Theatre.
Bring It On
★★★★☆ Smashed it
Edinburgh University Footlights give a big, entertaining and generally well thought-through take on Bring It On, at the Pleasance Theatre all week to Saturday.
Welcome to the Cabaret
★★★★★ Full on
EU Footlights has wandered down the hill to the Edinburgh Academy Magnusson Centre where their Showchoir’s Welcome to the Cabaret is as good a portmanteau production as any I have seen.
