Excellent show, it was so funny! All the cast were superb, a special mention to the school teacher and the lad who asked the lassie to unbutton her top, I had a good laugh! Well worth a visit:)

This show is absolutely amazing! Even my grumpy old husband was splitting his sides laughing. That doesn’t happen very often!!!! Four of us in our late 60s and 70s agreed it was the best tonic. What a blast! An absolute must see show. Well done to all the cast. Their energy and talent were amazing.

This show is just pure excellence. It has everything! Great story. Fantastic acting and dancing. Extremely funny. Also sad in places. You must go and see it or you will never forgive yourself!

A must see show. Nostalgia at its best.
Lively, funny, sad and relatable.
The primary school rehearsal of the Nativity Play; the eager, but awkward, adolescents at the disco ; Hogmanay at Grannies and so much more. What a hoot. Well done to all the performers. Loved it.

A totally enjoyable show. Well scripted, choreographed and directed, with a very energetic and talented cast.
This brought back so many memories of being a teenager in the 70s.
All the audience walked out with smiles on their faces, many of them singing!

Brilliant cast, great writing with lots of hilarious scenes about the tribulations of youth in 70s Edinburgh. This is juxtaposed with some genuine poignant moments.

Really enjoyed this show which was fast moving and fun to watch bringing nostalgic memories. Brilliant cast, each one of them great to watch in a variety of characters. A woman sitting beside me from the USA laughed throughout and said she thought the show was brilliant, therefore showing it can be enjoyed by those from far and wide!
