| Broadside cast prepares to perform in Edinburgh Scotland |
SPEAK THE SPEECH
(Professional Critic)
Review by Rebecca Mahar
⭐ “The company provide excellent performances that lift the whole piece, fully committed, comically cheeky, and holding beautifully to their harmonies even while dancing and dodging each other…”
⭐ “Live music…is simply arranged and refreshing, recalling the kind of tavern rooms and meeting halls parts of the show take place in.”
And perhaps our favorite thought for the future:
⭐ “With further development, and a longer running time, it has the potential to be the next fascinating musical about early American history.”

Review by Claudia Vinatea
⭐ "Broadside is an interesting and ambitious concept about Britain and America, once in harmony, but now out of sync in a war of words before the first musket is fired."
⭐ "The show was humorous in a distinctly American way, felt through its comedy, history, and musical style."
⭐ "I liked the ideas around propaganda, misinformation, and political influence, which gave the historical story some contemporary relevance. There is plenty of ambition and a lot of interesting ideas here."

⭐ "A wonderful show with great songs and harmonies, and a large talented cast. They have traveled a long way to tell their story and it's only on for a few more days, so don't miss out."
