Reel to Real on stage in Edinburgh

The Reel to Real cast stand together across the stage at the end of the performance while members of the audience applaud from their seats.

Reel to Real is up and running at the Edinburgh Fringe, with the cast bringing the show to life in front of a brilliant audience.

After all the rehearsals, travelling, flyering and preparation, this is what it’s all about.

The Reel to Real cast have been on stage at the Edinburgh Fringe, performing the show in front of a fantastic audience.

It’s brilliant seeing everything come together properly in the venue. The cast have worked incredibly hard on the show, and there are so many different moments packed into the performance, from comedy and movement to music, film and plenty of costume changes.

The audience were right there with them throughout, and seeing everyone lined up at the end of the show getting that applause was a pretty special moment.

We’re incredibly proud of the whole cast and team.

And there’s still more Reel to Real to come.
