Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Soho Place’s starry new production of Brokeback Mountain is a story you likely already know - but that doesn’t make it any less devastating to watch. The adaptation, written by Ashley Robinson and featuring Hollywood darlings Lucas Hedges as Ennis Delmar and Mike Faist as Jack Twist, hews closely to the film (and before that, the New Yorker short story) of the same name.

4/5

"This is a gem of a show, marrying two arthouse-cool American actors with an oddball selection of offstage talent to produce something quietly moving. It’s a further indication of what the remarkable, peculiar @sohoplace theatre can do."

4/5

"The play’s ending is stark, leaving our sobs stuck, dry, in our throats. The men’s unlived lives, their unspent passions, are desolately evoked."

5/5

“Ashley Robinson’s take on Brokeback Mountain, now playing at London’s @sohoplace, not only dodges the bullet of misbegotten stage adaptations of non-musical movies, but actually scores a couple bullseyes all its own. Fearlessly tackling still-green memories of Ang Lee’s iconic, even beloved doomed romance set against the great outdoors, the production directed by Jonathan Butterell finds new intimacy in Annie Proulx’s original story.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Wayne E Watson
Sets were incredible. The voice were stupendous. The acting was off the chart wonderful. Pure acting and singing talent. We sat in royal balcony and the view was fantastic. We look forward to returning to London and seeing another production at the Piccadilly Theatre. (One recommendation would be to include on the website some recommended parking garages for those of us coming from out of town in vehicles.) love love loved it!!!

Experience
Rachel Mayes
The Play That Goes Wrong was absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed so much in ages. The cast were fantastic and I loved the interaction they had with the audience. I particularly liked the mispronounced words and the visual humour.

Hamilton

Experience
Monika Sonta
An amazing show in a beautiful venue! Hamilton absolutely delivers – brilliant music, powerful choreography, and incredible energy from the cast throughout. The show is clearly physically demanding, especially for the dancers, who brought nonstop intensity and precision to every scene. Victoria Theatre is the perfect setting – elegant, well-maintained, and full of atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience. And a special shoutout to the King – absolutely hilarious and a true highlight of the night! Definitely a must-see – unforgettable from start to finish!
