Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
★★★★☆ Dark and epic
There’s a ghoulish and classic Penny Dreadful atmosphere to this epic tale of revenge, as Blackout Productions bring new life to Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.
Grease
★★★★☆ Vibrant
Smart, precise and packing more energy than the Duracell Bunny on pep pills, Allegro’s production of Grease the Musical electrifies the Church Hill Theatre where it is playing all week.
Little Women
★★★★★ Knowing
Little Women sees Bare productions return for a second show this Fringe with another entertaining a well thought-out musical that features a top notch cast and clever direction in a limited space.
From Broadway to Hollywood
★★★☆☆ Hearing impaired:
A few minutes into this concert by The Bohemians Lyric Opera Company at St Cuthbert’s Church I wanted to walk out. But I wanted to take the singers and musicians with me.
