The new Miss Saigon tour reaches Edinburgh but only stays for two and a half weeks. This new production has changed the show and concentrates more on the storyline.

The first theatre visit since the Fringe was to see Dean Friedman  on tour, the review is up and has two or three photographs as well as information on his other dates and website.

30-08-2005

Well that's it all over for another year!  We have already decided we will be back for 2006. Ben, Geoff and myself have been through some traumas with the website but on the whole had a successful year only one or two shows didn't live up to our expectations others far exceeded them.

Personally my thanks go to a conversation I overheard between a highly revered reviewer and the boss of a PR company.  The discussion was about one4reviews comments on the show 'The Zoo Story' which at that time we had not managed to fit in.  After some rescheduling I got to see it and was blown away.  Thank you both for forcing my hand. 

We went out on a high after meting Ross Noble in the Pleasance Courtyard.

Very last day of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2005, don't worry we will be back in 2006. Geoff and I are coming in to Edinburgh this afternoon hope to see some of you then.

Thanks for all your help and we hope to hear from you soon.

Well here it is!  The start of another Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

For those of you who are new to our website, Geoff Evans and myself Sheila Kay Jack have been going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival together since 1992 (yup 13 years together this year).  In this time we got involved in reviewing for Musical Stages Magazine then Real Radio (formally ScotFM) and finally in 1997 one4review was created, on-line from 1999.   This year we welcome Ben Douglas aboard.  Ben like us has been viewing shows at the fringe for many years, a retired (lucky thing) School Teacher, he should bring a slightly different slant to reviews.   Geoff and I are still in full-time employment and are not therefore professional reviewers, we do this for the love of it and it is only our personal opinions we publish.  We invite performers, company members, viewers and just about anybody to comment on our reviews.  We will endeavor to publish any comments.    Best wishes to everyone involved with the Festival in any way and please feel free to stop us and say 'Hi' if you see us.

Best wishes   Sheila, Geoff and Ben

Best wishes to you all  Sheila, Geoff and new member Ben.

Closer and closer to the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2005.  Just under two weeks to go to the first performances.  We are updating the site daily and our proposed viewing pages are being populated. This year sees the introduction of a third reviewer, Ben Douglas joins Geoff and myself.  Ben who is a seasoned Fringe goer will be turning his hand at sharing his views on shows with us all. Thanks to him joining the team we should be able to maintain our wide varied coverage.  Due to personal commitments I am unable to spend as much time at the fringe as usual.  Geoff however will be doing as much as ever.

18-07-2005

We have already had contact from one or two companies and are trying to fit them in thank you for your e-mails.

Golf fan or not try and get to see Golf the Musical at the Byre Theatre St Andrews Fife 23rd June to 23rd July 2005. I enjoyed it as a non Golfer and expect anyone who plays to get much more out of it than I did. Geoff enjoyed it too!

Not long now to the start of the Edinburgh Fringe and the planning has started.  Great apologies to all our browsers as our e-mail links are down at present but we are working on it.  We intend to start putting up our proposed viewing soon.  Best wishes Sheila and Geoff.
