Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

If you're looking for an irresistible, feel-good musical experience, and if you’re an ABBA fan to boot, then Mamma Mia! is the perfect show for you. Playing at the Novello Theatre in London's West End, this beloved musical is an unmissable event that will have you dancing in your seat and singing along to the iconic hits from the Swedish supergroup. No matter your age, you will find someone relatable in Mamma Mia! — whether it be the sweet and idealistic Sophie, who is looking for her father to walk her down the aisle, or the hardworking single mother Donna who gets unexpectedly reunited with her past lovers, or the ‘Dynamos’, Rosie and Tanya, the chaotic best friends of Donna. There is just something irresistible about all the characters in the musical.

“Mamma Mia! is energetic, funny and entertaining and appeals to all ages”

Marianka Swain,

The Telegraph

4/5

“...with its affirmation that families come in different forms, its sex-positivity and its strong female leads, Mamma Mia also has contemporary cred. Buoyed by Abba’s enduring brilliance, it’s a welcome shot of pure sunshine.”

Douglas Mayo,

4/5

“...this is no mere jukebox musical but a well-crafted show. Mamma Mia! remains an incredibly fun night at the theatre and it’s still difficult to believe that the show’s score of timeless pop was not purpose written for this show.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Wayne E Watson
Sets were incredible. The voice were stupendous. The acting was off the chart wonderful. Pure acting and singing talent. We sat in royal balcony and the view was fantastic. We look forward to returning to London and seeing another production at the Piccadilly Theatre. (One recommendation would be to include on the website some recommended parking garages for those of us coming from out of town in vehicles.) love love loved it!!!

Experience
Rachel Mayes
The Play That Goes Wrong was absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed so much in ages. The cast were fantastic and I loved the interaction they had with the audience. I particularly liked the mispronounced words and the visual humour.

Hamilton

Experience
Monika Sonta
An amazing show in a beautiful venue! Hamilton absolutely delivers – brilliant music, powerful choreography, and incredible energy from the cast throughout. The show is clearly physically demanding, especially for the dancers, who brought nonstop intensity and precision to every scene. Victoria Theatre is the perfect setting – elegant, well-maintained, and full of atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience. And a special shoutout to the King – absolutely hilarious and a true highlight of the night! Definitely a must-see – unforgettable from start to finish!
