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
ELEONORA IACCARINO
The theater very much suited to the type of show. Truly spectacular cast not only the two leads but also the various supporting actors. Only drawback the air conditioning maybe a little too cold. But overall all very very satisfactory

The Devil Wears Prada

Experience
Irene Irene
Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The production was the best one I've ever seen in my life. I love Theatre and Cinema (I work in cinema industry) and I was amazed by the scenographic artistry and the perfect vocals. I loved the love you feel by entering the theatre, the bar was so cute and the assistance crew was polite. Thank you for this spectacular experience♥️ I'll never forget it.
