There’s something irresistible about Who Do Ya Love?, a new jukebox musical about the life and work of Harry Casey (better known as KC of that there Sunshine Band). Maybe it’s the tunes: seriously, it’s disco banger after disco banger. Maybe it’s the camp: no spoilers, but be prepared to get wet and tick off your first roller skates moment of 2024. Certainly though, it’s the talent and commitment of the cast of eight (huge by Fringe standards) who bring enough theatre-kid energy to this Edinburgh premiere to single-handedly power the rest of the fest. 

Unfortunately, they’re slightly let down by a script that clunks in spots and seems to struggle internally about the darker parts of the decade and beyond: Casey’s dread of the draft, early closeting and losses are either skipped over or played for comic relief, so the excellent Fionán O’Carroll doesn’t have much to get his teeth into dramatically. A deeper dive into the darkness would balance the light. Still, from costumes to choreo, disco to divas, this is a glitterball of a crowd-pleaser with a terrific ensemble (particular props to Paige Fenlon as Dee) who are most definitely bringing the sunshine. 

Who Do Ya Love?, Assembly George Square Studios, until 25 August, 4.50pm; main picture: Alex Brenner.
