Every negative stereotype of musical theatre is confirmed in this attempt at satire. The titular diva on the dole is a work-shy luvvie, her agent is a money-grabbing vampire and her gay best friend is sex-starved and superficial. More worrying still is the portrayal of all working-class jobseekers as trenchcoated perverts and illiterate chavs.

George Square Theatre, 662 8740, until 25 Aug (not 18), 9.25pm, £8–£9 (£7–£8).
