Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Shakespeare’s cackling play gets a melodious reboot in this high-stakes musical about a quarreling couple making a musical. The classic narration of The Taming of the Shrew has been adapted, and tamed, into a stellar production that is in equal parts clever and absurd. At the center are Lilli, a young, vivacious, and hopeful performer, and Fred, the egotistical director and her infamous ex-husband. The passionate love that once bubbled between them has given way to constant yelling, name-calling, and even gun-toting gangsters. Is the intense animosity actually a desperate attempt to rekindle the lost fire between them? Find who wins in the tussle between love and hate at the Barbican Theatre on London’s West End.

“In Bartlett Sher’s plushly enjoyable staging, it delivers glorious music and falderol frivolity.”

"this self-referential love letter to showbiz is structurally complex but should feel fizzy and light."

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
Antonina Kaźmierska
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.

Starlight Express

Experience
Greg Lanyon
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.
