The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 is dead! Long live the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026! But whilst we're waiting, it's time for MusicalTalk to begin its celebrated coverage of all the best musicals you could have seen this August at the world's largest arts festival. In this episode, Thos and Colm begin with an in-depth appreciation and analysis of two very different but excellent new musicals - The Real Housewives of the Zombie Apocalypse, which is MusicalTalk's Pick of the Fringe 2025, and Hole!, an epic but impossible musical! With zombies feasting on brains, and Hole! concentrating on an altogether different and opposite end of the body, this round-up really covers the Fringe from top to bottom!
