Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Aliya Al-Hassan • August 7, 2026

There's no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of Cats. What began as a musical about cats after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems in an airport bookshop has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway's history. Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Cats features 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless melodies, including the hit song 'Memory.' What did the critics think of Drew McOnie's new production?

Review: THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY AND JUNE, Pavilion Theatre

Review: THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY AND JUNE, Pavilion Theatre

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • August 14, 2026

From the director of Jersey Boys, this exhilarating production charts the highs and lows of Johnny and June’s extraordinary relationship. A story of devotion, temptation, resilience and redemption, it captures the whirlwind romance that saw them endure personal struggles, professional triumphs and the pressures of life in the spotlight, emerging as one of music’s most enduring partnerships.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: WE HAD FUN, Summerhall

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: WE HAD FUN, Summerhall

Scotland: Cindy Marcolina • August 14, 2026

Carrie-Anne Ingrouille directs the production, establishing a remarkable pace that moves the action across the timeline seamlessly. Emma Houston and Tessa Redman join the writers in the cast, shifting between the characters’ mates and more allegorical roles. The result is an exciting brand of storytelling that encourages a thought-provoking and eye-opening conversation.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: BOOK OF SHADOWS, Underbelly

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: BOOK OF SHADOWS, Underbelly

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • August 14, 2026

Two puppeteers cast giant shadows to conjure a hilarious occult mystery. Teenage sceptic Vi is forced to live with her grandmother, who claims to be the 200-year-old mystic and spiritual guru Madam Blavatsky. When Vi's friends begin to disappear, she reluctantly teams up with Granny to uncover a conspiracy of séances, unhinged cultists and suspiciously interested government agents. A visually striking dark comedy. Based on a possibly true story. Learn real magic. Summon demons. Impress your friends. Sceptics welcome. Spirits optional.

Review: HELL’S KITCHEN Lets Alicia Keys’ R&B Shine at Broadway San Diego

Review: HELL’S KITCHEN Lets Alicia Keys’ R&B Shine at Broadway San Diego

San Diego: Lucía Serrano • August 13, 2026

I’ve loved the music of 17-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys for more than two decades, but the award-winning musical Hell’s Kitchen gave her songs new meaning and possibilities. After opening on Broadway in April 2024, the musical ran for nearly two years at the Shubert Theatre, playing 767 regular performances and 23 previews before closing in February 2026. Now, the musical is hitting the road, bringing Keys’ music and a story inspired by her own upbringing in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen to audiences across North America.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: NESTING, Summerhall

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: NESTING, Summerhall

Scotland: Cindy Marcolina • August 13, 2026

It’s a dark, gripping, and truly affecting project. Its comic side doesn’t overpower the tragedy, but it brings light to an otherwise dreary subject.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE SUBPLOT: A HYPERFIXATION ON THE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE, Su

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE SUBPLOT: A HYPERFIXATION ON THE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE, Summerhall

Scotland: Cindy Marcolina • August 13, 2026

It’s an infectious, hilarious, utterly bleak theatrical adventure. Smyth is effortlessly entertaining: her passion is contagious and her research is precise. A master storyteller, her magnetism relies on a delicious brand of dark humour. A big chunk of netizens will find this a most tickling production. But Smyth doesn’t merely present her data with an amusing and witty streak: The Subplot is a meditation on mortality.
