Review: The Silk Road (Kinda), Fringe 2026

August 17, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

East meets West in the afterlife as Peking Opera’s Yuji and Oscar Wilde’s Salome attempt to rewrite their fatal endings. A sharp, beautifully sung fusion musical running at C ARTS for the CCW China Season.

From Dust Bowl ballads to Merchant Marine anthems, Woody Sez at Underbelly Cowbarn is an exceptional celebration of Woody Guthrie packed with stunning four-part harmonies and live folk music.

What happens when creative differences turn deadly? Music & Murder By… brings dark laughs, live pop-rock harmonies, and backstage sabotage to the Edinburgh Fringe in an inventive 4-star show at Symposium Hall Annexe.

Review: HR The Musical, Fringe 2026

August 15, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The absurdities of modern work culture get a musical roasting in H.R. The Musical at the Edinburgh Fringe. Sharp writing, hilarious songs, and brilliant comedic performances turn corporate dread into pure joy.

Review: Possessive! The Musical!, Fringe 2026

August 13, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Suburban exorcism meets pop punk comedy in Possessive! The Musical. St Vincent’s basement venue provides the perfect backdrop for this sharp, energetic 4 star Fringe treat. Brilliant vocal work and clever staging throughout.

Review: I Was a Teenage She-Devil, Fringe 2025

August 3, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A surprise late-night hit, I Was a Teenage She-Devil is a fantastically fun blast of campy, gory, rock-and-roll theatre.

Review: Shantify, Fringe 2025

August 3, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A talented six-man cast delivers an energetic musical, turning pop hits into sea shanties within a simple story of a fishing village. A polished, feel-good show with a predicted West End future.
