Saw this at Pleasance Dome, anyone who likes musicals will enjoy this show.
An excellent cast all good quality singers/actors bring Stephen Schwartz's excellent music and lyrics to the fringe.

Another busy day and it will get worse before it gets better. we have even started to meet old friends Ian Kendall (ex Kendall Mitch Cake) whose theory of gravity is for me very much part of the fringe, and John Tobias who we met through 'Martian Guerre' and is now part of kids TV. We look forward to meeting others as we go along.

24 hours before the first performance 2003 everything seems to be under control at this end but time will tell. 
It was strange wandering past the venues yesterday as they were all looking like building sites the hard work put in before the Festival and after I feel is not always appreciated and our heart felt thanks go out to all those involved. See you all soon.

Monday morning 48 hours or so before our first Edinburgh Fringe Festival show 2003, the tension and excitement is mounting.  Our plans are more adventurous and bigger than the past few years, we look forward to meeting lots of old friends and making many new ones.
Best wishes for a great Fringe 2003 to you all from one4review

Geoff, newcomer David and myself (Sheila) are all working hard on planning our Edinburgh Fringe Festival viewing 2003. The site is being updated daily now and details if the shows we are hoping to see along with companies dates and times are being put up in each section.  Show names and links will appear here as we see the shows. Although we hope to see these shows it is dependent on companies allowing us in, we will keep you updated.
We look forward to your E-Mails and reviews as well as recommendations. Have a great fringe and we look forward to seeing you all in Edinburgh, whether as performer, worker audience-members or fellow reviewers.

Sheila
