Cast - here . 2005 Tour Dates and Times - here . Seen to review at Traverse Theatre Edinburgh on 6 April 2005. Reviewer - Alex Eades. Buonissimo!! On arriving at the Traverse Theatre, my belly was very happy in deed having enjoyed a scrumptious traditional Scottish breakfast. With this, I rolled into ‘Magic Spaghetti’ feeling ridiculously full and ready to explode. A little over an hour later, the pans were flying, the pasta was boiling and the mouth was watering like the Edinburgh skies. If there is anything to wet your appetite for good food, ‘Magic Spaghetti’ has got all of the essential ingredients. Strega Nona leaves her home town to travel around the world, only to return back to a place very different than that she remembers. No more fresh, juicy fruit from the tree. No more delicious vegetables. The only food that everyone seems to eat is spaghetti…..plain spaghetti. Strega, now outcast for her flamboyant taste in food, gradually begins to turn the locals from their ‘plain’ food to the tastes of the world. This, however, is only after their greed leads them to misuse Strega’s magic spaghetti and drown the world they know in the only food that they know. This is a great show for kids and a fantastic way to make healthy food cool, which will please parents to no end. The performances are big and bright and alone could entertain children for hours (It did for me!). Along with this are songs and jokes a plenty. I strongly advise parents to take their children to see this. They’ll love it….. and so will you. ©Alex Eades 6 April 2005 - Published on EdinburghGuide.com Cast: Estrid Barton - Strega Nona, Florentina, Madeleine and Mouthie.
