Edinburgh’s Christmas expands into the West End

This year’s theatre programme for Edinburgh’s Christmas played out in the new Festival Square Theatre promises magic, music and much more! The new Festival Square Theatre pops up on 18 November outside the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa on Lothian Road with a dazzling revival of Clarke Peters’ West End and Broadway hit, Five Guys Named Moe, featuring songs from jazz legend Louis Jordan performed on stage by a live band. Morgan and West, a family favourite, bring Morgan and West’s A (Sort of) Christmas Carol to delight audiences of all ages. They take on Charles Dickens’ timeless classic for ages 5+, with some magical twists.

The Street of Light returns in a new location!

Also moving to the West End, the Street of Light has its highly anticipated return in a new location on West George Street. Opening on 21 November, the Street of Light will run until 24 December with performances at 6pm & 8pm, illuminating West George Street in a canopy of light, synchronised to music from local choirs and bands including the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, Royal Scottish National Orchestra Junior Chorus, fiddle music from the Highlands with Blazin’ Fiddles and Scotland’s very own bhangra group, Tigerstyle.
