Review: Christmas Carol Goes Wrong – Mischief – Edinburgh Mischief returns to Edinburgh with Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. Not their masterpiece, but Cornley ruining Dickens is still the funniest show in town.

★★★★ "Modern-day masters of old-school stage comedy."

@mischiefcomedy.bsky.social return. With props trapping actors and lines pasted on wine jugs, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at Edinburgh's Festival Theatre is "disastrous fun."

The Seagull, Lyceum Theatre – Chekhov’s tragedy with a sharp comic edge Sharp wit meets Chekhovian melancholy in the Lyceum’s Seagull, a confident season opener crowned by Caroline Quentin’s magnetic lead.

★★★★ “A bravura turn from Caroline Quentin — an elegant monster whose compassion has withered as her star ascended.”

Mike Poulton’s Seagull, directed by James Brining, opens the Lyceum’s new season with wit and ache.

Review: Trial By Jury / A Matter of Misconduct – Scottish Opera ★★★★ With its latest double bill, Scottish Opera offers a study in contrast and continuity: the enduring power of satire, from the gleefully anarchic world of Gilbert and Sullivan to the all-too-familiar farce of contemporary British politics. "Trial by Jury", given a zany reboot as a reality courtroom TV show, shares the stage with the premiere of "A Matter of Misconduct!", a new one-act operetta by Emma Jenkins and composer Toby Hession.

"This is operetta, not only for the nostalgic, but for the now." Scottish Opera impresses with a double-bill of cultural-political satire, one classic, one new.

Untitled A Mafia Makeover: Lehár’s Operetta Reimagined Scottish Opera’s latest reimagining of Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow confidently sidesteps the gilded nostalgia of Belle Époque Paris, landing instead in the noir-ish shadows of 1950s New York. This updated adaptation, co-produced with D’Oyly Carte Opera and Opera Holland Park, sets out to reconcile the operetta's sentimental froth with the sharper contours of post-war American cynicism.

"...by planting Lehár’s lovers among gangsters & grifters, Scottish Opera invites its audience to consider love as negotiation; a dangerous, vulnerable, thrilling risk.

Review: Moulin Rouge! The Musical – Edinburgh Playhouse ★★★ If you love Baz Luhrmann’s wildly popular, cult jukebox film musical Moulin Rouge! - you’re probably going to love John Logan’s stage adaptation. Yes, the story has been tweaked, and the songbook updated, but it remains a 21st-century riff on the age-old ‘doomed hooker with a heart of gold’ archetype, set around a fantastical version of Paris’s famous Moulin Rouge at the turn of the 20th century.

With a sumptuous set and talented cast, Moulin Rouge! The Musical dazzles onstage. But sound issues & too many songs slow down the show.

Review: Death of a Salesman – Edinburgh Death of a Salesman Lands in Edinburgh When the American dream turns into the American nightmare. That’s Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, and in David Hayman, Scottish theatre has certainly found a Willie Loman to express this most miserable of tragedies to the fullest. Mostly encountered in the classroom, it’s easily dismissed as one more ‘American Classic’, yet it’s a fable which rings as true now as it ever did when first staged in 1949.

When the American dream turns into the American nightmare. David Hayman is "sensational" in Andy Arnold's stripped-back, yet oddly elegant journey into misery.

Review: Wild Rose @ The Lyceum, Edinburgh ★★★★ In 2018, Nicole Taylor’s Wild Rose found critical acclaim on the silver screen - and will doubtlessly find even more success as a stage musical. Taylor, adapting her screenplay, retains the film’s narrative beats, but trades the dramatic realism she found with movie director Tom Harwood, for something pitched between gig and jukebox musical. The story rings true all the same, even if proceedings are prone to eruptions of country bangers.

"As crowdpleasers come, they don’t come much more crowdpleasing." - Taylor and Tiffany's "heartfelt musical comedy", 'Wild Rose' is almost perfect in every way.
