Here's what we think

Set in a 1950s Italian-American neighborhood by the Brooklyn Bridge, A View from the Bridge follows Eddie, an Italian immigrant who endures a fading relationship with his wife Beatrice while harboring a troubling obsession with her niece, Catherine, and a deep distrust and hatred for her lover, Rodolpho. On the surface a tale of obsession, this play as much about community and loyalty. Pulitzer-winning playwright Arthur Miller hoped to portray the lives of people living by the New York docks, from their tragic stories to the seedy corruption that punctuated their experiences, and it’s safe to say this production certainly captures these bleak nuances. The themes are uncomfortable, but it’s the kind of drama that has you gripped, unable to look away, desperately hoping it all works out in the end.

4/5

“Arthur Miller’s story of family, masculinity and immigrant struggles could seem dated but a brilliant cast bring out uncomfortably modern resonances.”

4/5

“This is a gripping revival of a Miller masterpiece – and West can take his place alongside the great past interpreters of the central role.”

Sarah Crompton,

3/5

“Aspects of the drama  – the desperation of the migrants, the shrinking nature of poverty and a man’s inability to examine his own nature – resonate, even if the specific circumstances have dated.”

The Lion King

Experience
Rarely Raslan
Absolutely breathtaking – a once-in-a-lifetime theatre experience The Lion King in London is nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment the music begins, you’re completely transported into another world. The opening sequence alone gave me chills — the animals moving through the theatre, the powerful vocals, and the sheer scale of the production are unforgettable. The costumes and puppetry are pure genius. Every detail is beautifully crafted, blending human performance with art in a way that feels magical and deeply emotional. It’s unlike anything else on stage — imaginative, bold, and visually stunning from start to finish. The cast were phenomenal. The vocals were powerful and moving, especially during the iconic songs we all know and love. “Circle of Life” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” were performed with such emotion that the entire audience was captivated. The orchestra and sound design elevate the show even further, creating an atmosphere that completely immerses you in the story. What truly makes The Lion King special is how it appeals to all ages. It’s joyful, funny, moving, and meaningful — children are mesmerised while adults appreciate the artistry, themes, and emotional depth. This is not just a musical, it’s an experience. If you’re visiting London or simply love theatre, The Lion King is an absolute must-see. I would see it again in a heartbeat. ✨ Pure magic. Unforgettable. Perfection. ✨

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Clarissa Boentario
This was my third time watching The Phantom of the Opera, and somehow it still hits me just as hard every single time. I’ve taken my family and my boyfriend, and without fail, I cry at the end every time. It’s such a beautiful and heartbreaking love story told through breathtaking music and emotion. The voices are absolutely incredible. Whoever plays Christine never disappoints, and the men are just as powerful and captivating. You can feel the passion and pain in every single note. This is my favorite Broadway show hands down. No matter how many times I see it, it still feels magical, timeless, moving, and unforgettable.

Hamilton

Experience
Cristina Molina-Hall
Seeing Hamilton was an experience that can only be described as electrifying. From the first note the energy in the theater was palpable. While the show is a global phenomenon, this particular performance felt incredibly personal because I shared it with my daughter. As a dancer, singer, and musical theater student herself, her appreciation for the technical demands of the show made the evening truly special. The caliber of talent on that stage was staggering. Every lead delivered a performance that felt both historically grounded and vibrantly contemporary. The vocal precision required for this score is immense, but the cast made it look effortless. The energy reached its peak whenever the ensemble took the stage. Their choral power and synchronized movement raised the energy of the entire theater. There is an intensity in those ensemble numbers that is hard to put into words—a wall of sound and motion that leaves you breathless. As we watched, my daughter and I were fascinated by how the "beautiful dances" integrated seamlessly into the storytelling. We were particularly struck by the excellent choreography. The dances are beautiful, intricate, and purposeful. Every movement tells a story -- the way the ensemble pivots, the fluid transitions, and the constant motion capture the relentless "hurry" of Alexander Hamilton’s life. It is a masterclass in how modern movement can elevate traditional musical theater. Hamilton is more than just a musical -- it is a powerful reminder of the beauty of live performance. Watching my daughter be inspired by such high-level artistry made an already special night absolutely perfect: it wasn't just a night at the theater, it was a powerful reminder of why we love the arts.

Disney's Hercules

Experience
Chiara Tardelli
It was a truly amazing experience! The theater is really beautiful and has a magical atmosphere. Can we talk about the show? There aren't enough words to describe it. The artists are amazing, the muses are truly divine, and the sets are breathtaking. A wonderful 360-degree show! I was in the last row of the Royal Circle (L), and the view was excellent.

Today was a magical and phenomenal day because all apart from the mystery the actors and the scenery were beautiful! Although I'm eleven years old all of the experience with my parents was wonderful and from now on I believe that I will read Agatha's Cristi's books!

Matilda The Musical

Experience
Andy CHENG
It was an incredibly wonderful visual and musical show to enjoy, with a magical story and fun characters, full of creativity. The additional inter-act part by Mr Woodworm was really funny. This musical has been performing for 15 years, and I am intrigued in knowing how many wonderful Matildas have been created. Matilda is the unique musical that is a must-do thing when visiting London.

The Devil Wears Prada

Experience
Cecilia Wrighton
I loved the huge red shoe outside the theatre, and the luscious costumes! The singers were excellent, especially the two young female leads, and the whole show goes by very quickly, with no boring bits! One star lost for choreography, which was awkward in places.
