Footlights’ finger-clickin’ Morningside Story

Review – Perfect Days
Liz Lochhead’s delicious comedy of motherhood and friendship gets a solid production from Leitheatre up at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.
Pictures – The Wedding Singer
Here’s a few of John Wood’s pics from Allegro’s treat of a production of the Wedding Singer.
Review – The Wedding Singer
Packed with bounce and swaggering with confidence, Allegro’s production of the Wedding Singer is a hearty – and slightly unexpected – treat up at the Church Hill Theatre all week.
Review – Oliver!
A great children’s chorus and some top performances of the big set pieces make the Balerno Theatre Company’s production of Oliver! – at the Church Hill Theatre till Saturday – well worth the ticket. If you can get a ticket for the sell-out run, that is.
Review – Heroes
★★★☆☆ Musical heroics:
There is an audacious opening to Showcase’s latest musical offering up at the Church Hill Theatre all this week. Heroes might be the show’s title and theme, but instead of extracts from the evening, the overture uses a certain Stranglers number to gets the audience bobbing in their seats.
Review – The Talented Mr Ripley
The American High School Theatre Festival come up trumps with a gripping production of The Talented Mr Ripley, according to guest reviewer Martin Gray.
Review – The Producers
★★★★★ Confident:
If you wanna be a producer, there are easier options than this Mel Brooks musical. The story of shyster Max Bialystock and accountant Leo Bloom’s bid to make a fortune by staging a Broadway flop, it could easily fall flat itself.
Producers’ Edinburgh amateur premier
It’s Bad Taste in Morningside from MGA:
Bad taste comes barnstorming into the Church Hill Theatre next week with the Edinburgh amateur premier of Mel Brooks’ musical version of his own exercise in risqué gags: The Producers.
