Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre isn’t just a musical—it’s a spellbinding odyssey that blurs the line between ancient myth and modern reality. With its unique blend of New Orleans jazz, Depression-era aesthetics, and steampunk sensibilities, this Tony-winning production offers a hauntingly beautiful take on the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. It’s a bold, innovative masterpiece that demands your attention and rewards it tenfold.

5/5

"The underworld has never sounded so funky. At a time when jukebox musicals seem to be everywhere, singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell’s captivating folk opera, inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, is a reminder of what musical theatre can achieve when it sets its sights beyond the lowest common denominator."

5/5

"The packed crowd exuberantly cheered as each character came on, and their delirious delight sustained through to the thunderous curtain call. At first, I didn't quite get it, and then somewhere along the way I was drawn in, initially intrigued, gradually bewitched and then profoundly moved."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Diego Madronal
I had an unforgettable time watching Moulin Rouge at the Piccadilly Theatre in London! The entire show was spectacular, visually stunning, musically brilliant, and emotionally powerful from start to finish. The performances were full of energy and passion, and the set design was nothing short of breathtaking. I booked my tickets through Headout and everything went smoothly and effortlessly. I was especially impressed with the seating (third row of the Grand Circle) with fantastic visibility of the entire stage. It was the perfect vantage point to take in all the dazzling choreography, the song choices, the beautiful costumes, and lighting effects. You really feel the magic of the show from up there. Highly recommend both the show and booking with Headout. It was a five-star experience all around, and I’d go again in a heartbeat!

The Lion King

Experience
Loretta Delahunty
The show was fantastic. It was lovely to see the different ages of the audience, from very young to elderly people, there were a lot of school trips, again of varying ages. I have seen the show before but it was the first time my husband had seen it. He absolutely loved it ❤️

Hadestown

Experience

We chose to see Hadestown, because it's my friend's favourite musical. But I have to admit that we both loved the show!! Even though we had seats with restricted view, we could see almost everything what was happening on stage (which was amazing on its own). The organisation was great; everything went smooth. And I swear the staff of Lyrical Theater were the kindest people - always smiling and ready to help!

Oliver!

Experience
Olimpia Romero
True Broadway quality performance by Fagan, Artful Dodger, Oliver, Nancy, boys etc. the standing ovations spoke for themselves. So glad we made the performance. Oliver Twist should be brought to Miami/Ft Lauderdale area.

There is not really a bad seat in the theatre as the cast on roller skates. A very vibrant production with unbelievable staging and lighting. Very easy booking and had a chance to visit nearby Wembley stadium at the same time. Took the train from Kensington.
