text: The Playhouse is Edinburghs main musical theatre where others concentrate on new writing opera and dance it is mainly musicals at the Playhouse Musicals and big standups on tournnAnyway I have been there a few times recently and I have been impressed by the musicals they have been attracting Avenue Q in particular The Playhouse is part of the Ambassadors Group and tends to get big West End shows that are on tour around UKnnMy only complaint is that the sound quality for Spamalot the other night was not so good There were some problems that meant the clarity particularly of the first few songs was rather impaired This being a comic musical the words are all importantnnIts situation is bang in the middle of the gay bars with straight punters having to walk past Habana and CCs to get to the straighter Theatre Royal Bar
