Experience a joyful and educational journey through 100 years of music by Jewish songwriters with Jeremy Sassoon. His solo, piano-led show is packed with fascinating facts and dazzling performances.

Review: Raise the Barre, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

A dance spectacle that mashes up ballet and rock music. The dancers are phenomenal, and the energy is infectious. Though the show lacks a strong narrative, its diverse choreography and feel-good atmosphere make it a solid choice for a fun hour.

Review: 27 Club, Fringe 2025
