Runway Theatre Company never fail to put on a good show, and this was no exception. Not having heard of this musical before, I had no idea what to expect, but it certainly delivered a lot of laughs. The singing was outstanding and each of the cast members are very talented.The comedy in this musical is great, and had the whole audience in stitches throughout the show. It may seem like I am being biased considering that I know so many members of the cast, but I have being going to see Runway's Pantomimes and Shows since I was about three now, and have never left feeling disappointed.


In recent years Runway Theatre Company have performed Scottish Premieres of shows such as The Drowsy Chaperone, Whistle Down The Wind and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. These have all been big hits with their audiences and I'm sure Lend Me A Tenor will follow this pattern. If you haven't bought a ticket to this hilarious show, get one while you still can! 


Lend Me A Tenor performed by Runway Theatre Company at Eastwood Park Theatre from the 21st-24th of May.
