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."

"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.”

My Neighbour Totoro

Experience
Antonio De Chiara
Absolutely amazing. The actor were truly stunning both in appearance and acting. There was not a single things that I didn't like. Costumes, performances, staff, musician, singer, the scenic effect department. It's the first time that I went out of a theater by giving a 10/10 experience.

My Neighbour Totoro

Experience
Philipp Thiemo Metz
A very beautiful play with excellent music, a lively production, great actors, and a wonderful atmosphere. You are not allowed to take photos during the performance. The seats were very good, with the best view, and it is a beautiful theater. Everything went great with Headout too, no problems at all. Thank you very much. Would gladly do it again!

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Dianne Watts
When we arrived by cab, a very friendly young man met us at the curb and looked at our tickets. He shepherded us to the proper entrance line and offered to take our picture. We showed our digital tickets at the door and were in , no problem. We had time to get a drink, look at cool Phantom merchandise, and get settled in our seats before the show started. The theater was more cozy than it appeared on the online seating chart but very charming. The show was fantastic! All the leading parts were handled beautifully. The sets were amazing. The actress who provided the comic relief was outstanding. We had a marvelous time. Highly recommended!

The Mousetrap

Experience
Guillaume Vansteenbrugge
The play *The Mousetrap* has been running for over fifty years, which is my age. Thousands of performances and a constantly renewed joy of discovering the plot and its characters. Classic Agatha Christie. Let's keep the secret!

Les Misérables

Experience
Tan Kay Kheng
Mesmerising to watch this again in London after my first time at the 1000th performance in 1988! The staging, and the ever familiar songs like Who am I?, I Dream a Dream and Empty Chairs at Enpty Tables enthralled me and were moving as ever! Every Les Miserables performance never disappoints!

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Experience
Nils Bock
I saw Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the theater and was very impressed overall. The production, the atmosphere, and the effects were truly extraordinary and brought the world of Stranger Things to life in a whole new way. The performance in English also worked well for me and captured the mood of the play very well. Unfortunately, my view of the stage was severely restricted as I could only see the bottom half. Most of the time, this wasn't a major issue because the plot and the most important scenes were still easy to understand. However, there were a few parts that took place exclusively in the upper part of the stage. Because of this, I unfortunately couldn't follow them at all or only partially, which detracted slightly from the experience. Despite this, I really enjoyed the play. The story, the actors, and the technical execution were truly worth seeing. I would definitely recommend it, but when choosing seats, I would make sure to have the best possible view of the entire stage.
