EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: FRESHER THE MUSICAL, C Venues, Aug 19 2011
by Carrie Dunn - August 22, 2011

After an award-winning debut run in 2010, Fresher the Musical returns to the Edinburgh Fringe, chest puffed and with a confident swagger, its flyer announcing a cast recording and the release of the amateur rights to perform it. And it has every right to be cocky - it's a highly entertaining romp th...

EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: SHOW CHOIR! THE MUSICAL, C Venues, Aug 19 2011
by Carrie Dunn - August 22, 2011

All smiles, wide eyes and key changes, the high school glee club is an all-too-familiar concept thanks to a certain hugely popular and equally irritating, inescapable television show.

by Carrie Dunn - August 22, 2011

The setting of John and Gerry Kielty's Wasted Love - a group therapy session - immediately brings to my mind the 2009 Fringe production of Conor Mitchell's Have A Nice Life, my favourite of all the shows I've seen in my three years attending the Fringe. It seems an unfair comparison to make, given h...

by Carrie Dunn - August 22, 2011

I attended Flawless' latest Fringe show with what I imagine were standard expectations: that I was about to see a production featuring dazzling, pin-sharp choreography performed by extremely talented young men. And talented they undoubtedly are, but this hour is stuffed with superfluous and unnecess...

Jack and Kristy are about to board their flight to Las Vegas for their honeymoon but the story of how they met, their shotgun wedding, family feuds and the strange woman who sits next to them all make for some amusing viewing. ...

EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: THE PRODIGALS, Gilded Balloon Teviot, August 16, 2011.
