Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Heathers: The Musical, a razor-sharp and darkly comic rollercoaster ride, explodes onto the Soho Place stage. It will have you singing along and wincing in equal measure. Based on the cult classic film, this adaptation dives headfirst into the treacherous waters of high school, where popularity can be a life raft and social status, a deadly game. 

Don’t be fooled by the synchronized dance routines because Heathers is not all bubblegum pop. Under the surface lurks a dark satire, tackling issues like bullying, suicide, and peer pressure with a comedic bite. Not your typical high school musical, this one is a head-on collision between catchy tunes and serious themes, forcing you to laugh at the absurdity of it all while leaving a lingering punch to the gut.

Olivia Rook,

London Theatre

4/5

"The cult classic film Heathers may have premiered in 1989, but its darkly comedic storyline about high school growing pains still bites, and continues to draw in legions of young, teenage fans".

Madison Sotos,

4/5

"With lively music tracks, a heavy dose of comedy and the element of nostalgia on its side, Heathers the Musical makes for a very fun evening out."

4/5

"An explosively entertaining evening; Heathers: The Musical reminds us that a message doesn’t have to be delivered in a dark and brooding way to hit home, and sometimes a tartan sock and a bag of corn nuts can deliver the message just as well".

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.
