Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Hamilton, the groundbreaking musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is a mesmerizing journey through American history, stripped of wigs and adorned with the pulsating beats of rap, hip-hop, and R&B. Miranda's genius lies in the seamless integration of these contemporary musical genres, offering a refreshing lens through which to view the birth of a nation.

5/5

“Lin-Manuel Miranda’s rollercoaster of a show boasts outstanding performances and charts the life of the US founding father with political passion and nimble wit”

5/5

“Whether or not ‘Hamilton’ is the best musical of our generation – it clearly is, but whatever – it’s been a hit for the only reason anything is a hit: because it is a great work of entertainment.”

Henry Hitchings,

The Standard

5/5

“Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical makes 18th-century politics seem as explosively immediate as a rap battle, writes Henry Hitchings”

Les Misérables

Experience
Lotte Steenbeeke
Musical was incredible! Never seen the film before but story was very clear. The cast was really good and the theatre was nice and comfortable. We were in the stalls and had our own bar. Our tickets said that we might have a restricted view of the top of the set, but we could see the whole musical! Enjoyed it very much and had a lovely evening.

To see this musical withy daughter in the West End was a dream come true! It did not disappoint - the Sonheim theatre delivered a truly magnificent rendition of Les Miserables! The theatre itself was beautiful and I'm in awe of the incredibly talented cast members. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

It was wonderful—not just the performance itself, but the costumes and the set design as well. The set is fabulous; it changes all the time. It’s definitely worth seeing.

Paddington The Musical

Experience

We took my 12 year old son to this show for our first West End experience and it was amazing! The show itself, the music, the characters, the dancing and singing...all of it was top notch! My son said he was sad when it ended and said it was the highlight of his trip to London!
