Magic of the Movies/Best of Broadway
★★★☆☆ Catchy tunes
Edinburgh Musical Theatre presents a double bill of fan-favourites in two concerts with Magic of the Movies and Best of Broadway at Edinburgh New Town Church (formerly St Andrews and St George’s West) for three nights only.
The Addams Family
★★★★☆ Finger clicking good
Edinburgh Music Theatre have a beautifully concise production of The Addams Family at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday. It hits its mark bang on, from the very first finger click of that iconic introduction right up its full blown love-in finale.
Dogfight
★★★☆☆ Heartfelt
Dogfight, from Thistle N’ Thorn at Paradise in Augustines for the Fringe’s first week, is a melodic and cleverly staged production.
The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee
★★★★☆ Satisfyingly goofy
In The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee, at the RSE Theatre for the final two weeks of the Fringe, Happy Sad Productions attempt to make sense of this quirky musical based on that particularly American Institution – the spelling bee.
You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown
★★★☆☆ Surprisingly deep
There’s an unexpected and more than welcome depth to the hearty production of You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown staged by Happy Sad Productions at the Assembly Roxy Upstairs until Sunday.
