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?

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: HOW TO FEEL FEELINGS, The Space Triplex
This show grapples with the complex moral quandary of survival by following instructions. They are bound by the consequences of their actions, yet expected to obey and please the new powers at every turn. It's a fascinating portrayal, exploring what power and powerlessness can do.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: MILKDRUNK, The Space @ Symposium Hall
Someone once told her that babies are natural comedians, and I can say with certainty that so is she. Cathleen O'Malley's startling one-woman show skims the top off the fantasy and reveals what it truly takes to have a baby. With a maniacal smile, she guides you through the nitty gritty of childbirth, the newborn phase, and the exhaustion of parenthood.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: RUARIDH MILLER: AUTOCORRECT THINKS MY NAME IS 'RUBBISH', Gilded Balloon
Autocorrect Thinks My Name is “Rubbish” is a sharp and thoroughly Scottish hour that finds plenty of comedy in class, identity and the strange rabbit hole that everyday life can lead you down.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ALICE FRASER: OH MAN!, Monkey Barrel at O'Neills (The Tron)
Alice Fraser brings an intellectually rich and entertaining hour of stand up to the stage with a show which cleverly blends philosophy, social commentary and sharp observational comedy. Packed with wit, irony and thoughtful storytelling.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: PROPHETS, Assembly
A researcher from Scotland travels to Saint John, a remote British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific. Upon arrival, she finds the island is under the control of a growing religious cult. This discovery starts to shift her studies from the land to the people as the dangerous theology of the cult is revealed and the day of paradise approaches. Prophets is a brand new two-hander drama from Fringe First-winning writer Jack MacGregor that examines the intersection between faith and cult, an exploration of violent belief at the edge of the world.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: SID SINGH: LOVE BOMBING, The Lounge At Laughing Horse @ The Counting House
Comedian's Choice Award winner Sid Singh returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with activism, political intention and a good dose of love-based reckless abandon.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: 5 LESBIANS EATING A QUICHE, Paradise In Augustines
Have you ever worried about the end of the world? Thought you would make a terrible 1950s housewife? Wanted to use a quiche as a euphemism? Then this might be the fever-dream for you.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: JOHN-LUKE ROBERTS: WHAT I TALK ABOUT WHEN I RUN ABOUT TALKING, Monkey Barrel 4
John-Luke Roberts returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with What I Talk About When I Run About Talking, his first new hour in four years. He delivers an intellectually playful and deeply personal show, blending absurdism with sharp observation and moments of genuine poignancy into an inventive hour.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ONE MAN MUSICAL, Pleasance Courtyard
What do you do when you haven't said everything you want to say, but you have said everything people want to hear? You turn to one of the UK's most brilliant comedy duos and create a smash hit musical about yourself, of course!
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: MAIA TASSALINI: I WAS 22 AND STUNNING, Pleasance Courtyard
There is a sense that anything could happen on stage and the audience is going along for the ride.
REVIEW: The Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre Production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Arrives In Sydney
Jordan Fein’s (Director) production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, originally staged at Regent’sPark Open Air Theatre in 2024 is presented on the Theatre Royal stage with an Australian cast.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TRANS PEOPLE ARE AWFUL, Pleasance Courtyard
Transitioning's hard, finding the right parts is harder. In a garage in North-East Scotland, a young trans guy invites you to witness his genius in hunting cis men for body parts. Armed with a camera, vivid imagination and an axe he bought on Facebook marketplace, Boy is explaining his quest to complete the perfect transition. His method (killing cis men and stealing their body parts), may be unconventional but it does bypass NHS waiting times. True crime cut up with dark comedy, Trans People are Awful dissects identity, morality and the effects of extreme loneliness.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: RACHEL FAIRBURN: VEXY BEASTS, Monkey Barrel
Hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed 2025 character show Side Eye, 'Rock 'n' Roll Star of British Comedy' (Rolling Stone) Rachel Fairburn is back with some new personalities (and some old favourites) for you to love and hate. Expect sharp wit, biting social commentary, and lots of big laughs! As seen on Live at the Apollo (BBC Two), Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (Dave), Richard Osman's House of Games (BBC Two), and Russell Howard Hour: Life Lesson (Sky) and Co-Host of International smash hit podcast All Killa No Filla.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: SEEDHEART, Pleasance Courtyard
Don’t miss this extraordinary one-of-a-kind puppet performance… a small show with big ideas! Meet Grey. Our journey begins as Grey finds themself trapped inside a jar, unable to remember why, and wondering how to be free… Watch Grey’s story unfold (literally!) from a single suitcase, on a journey towards a brighter future, with magical pop-ups, puppetry and shadows. SeedHeart tells the important tale of how Earth changed since humans came along, with interactive chaos in the laboratory on the way!
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: A BETTER MEMORY, Pleasance Courtyard
The script itself introduces too many narrative devices to be subtle. In the first 15 minutes, a variety of Chekhov’s Guns is presented to us, and the whole plot unravels before it even kicks in. The show is nonetheless very interesting in its thematic line. With AI featuring in our lives more prominently with each update, the possibility that we could transfer someone’s personality into a robot is not too far-fetched. But is this palliative use of tech worth what we could discover in the remote alcoves of someone’s consciousness? Kerr knows what he’s doing; he just needs to be a little sharper about it.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: FATHER, AWAY SHE GOES, ZOO Playground
Meet Sarah Jones: mediocre artist, terrible friend, compulsive liar, awful narcissist. While her classmates are virtue signalling in order to get into art school, she’s busy being rejected for being herself. Or, is she? Electra Kolb writes an excellent antihero. Her debut play is a piercing examination of ambition and cruelty.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: REPARATIONS, Pleasance Courtyard
What did our critic think of REPARATIONS at Pleasance Courtyard?
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: A MICROSCOPIC ODYSSEY, Pleasance Courtyard
Moments of quiet reflection explode into frenetic, energetic dance sequences that manifest our protagonist’s inner journey. It creates a poignant, joyous, liberating fluctuation of theatrical rhythm that results in a surprisingly well-calibrated play. It shifts our perspective and urges us away from the bigger picture, into the details, and then out into the universe again. This is the only Odyssey you need to see this summer.
Review: MEET ME IN ST LOUIS at The Muny Overflows with Sentimentality and Heart
Meet Me in St. Louis is exactly what you hope, want, and expect from a stage adaptation of the classic movie musical. What makes this Muny staging special are the wonderful portrayals, the beautiful set, video, and costume designs, and the many nostalgic nods to St. Louis.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: A FOOT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE PRIZE FOR THE TOMBOLA at Attic, Pleasance Courtyard
Avid churchgoer Lydia has organized a charity tombola at her local church, but there is a major snag: a severed foot turns up inside one of the tombola prizes. As the revelations grow increasingly bizarre, Lydia becomes determined to solve the whodunnit mystery herself.
