If you were to walk past Braehead Arena in Glasgow last night, you’d have been forgiven for thinking you’d wandered straight into an alternate universe, where little Princesses and friendly snowmen ruled the land. Hurried shoppers were replaced with excitable children, all eager to watch their favourite Walt Disney movies be brought to life through Feld Entertainment’s latest Disney on Ice spectacle, Worlds of Enchantment.

Rocky Horror Show Review, Edinburgh Playhouse
The Rocky Horror Show may not be nearly as shocking or risqué now as it was considered to be when it first opened in London 40 years ago, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that it isn’t still every bit as wild and fun.

9 to 5 Glasgow Review
Musicals don’t come much spunkier or more colourful than 9 to 5, the hilarious stage production based around Dolly Parton’s most renowned hit song and the 1970’s film of the same name. Telling the story of three gutsy office workers who take their sexist and egotistical boss hostage whilst they attempt to unearth enough evidence of his dodgy business dealings to send him to jail, the popular show makes for a fun and mischievous girls night out. Playing extra shows in Glasgow until 12 January due to unprecedented demand, it’s an absolute must-see for anyone looking for some light-hearted escapism from their own 9 to 5 job.
