Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh

You are unlikely to find a new adaptation of a Shakespearean classic, or a contemporary interpretation of Ibsen, but if you are after a entertaining night out, the Playhouse is a great option. This is a large, traditional-style theatre, which plays host to a wide variety of events, but with the emphasis on light entertainment. A particular speciality is musicals, with recent runs of Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera and Grease, but there are many on-off shows as part of tours (Steps and Michael Crawford, to name but two!) and special events as part of the festival.

I must thank those who have taken the time to comment with such a high regard for this theatre. Up until last year I was a proud member of The Playhouse management team where I helped the building achieve an "Investor in People" standard. We are all very proud of our committment to the highest level of customer service. The staff are a family of talented individuals who love their jobs and are happy to attend to every customers need. The performances you can expect range from modern day musicals to top music acts such as Girls Aloud and even The Rolling Stones!!! Visit the Live Nation website ... more
