Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Moulin Rouge!, the musical that blends the seductive performances of the Parisian courtesans with an epic tale of romance and a touch of dramatic flair, showcases the best of what the stage has to offer: catchy earworms, mesmerizing routines, breathtaking costumes, captivating performances, and a pure dedication to the art of entertaining. Based on the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film of the same name, Moulin Rouge! has dazzled audiences and critics alike, setting aside any doubts early skeptics may have had about the show’s ability to live up to its predecessor.

4/5

“The whole experience is awash with sure-footed dance: sensuous, fleet and duly delivering those signature can-can moves in a riot of petticoat lifting and high-kicking."

4/5

"From the second you enter you know what to expect: a musical with a heart of gold that seeks to entertain and overwhelm in equal measure. It is so over the top, it's irresistible.

4/5

“It’s kitsch, joyful hedonism writ large, bursting with sparklers, streamers and technicolour vitality – and powered by a cast who know only too well that you should perform every show as though it could be your last. Irresistible entertainment."

Kate Wyver,

4/5

"There is a lot to love: with a wonderfully wild energy throughout, it’s happily queerer than the film, and the well-known songs really are spectacular."

4/5

"Timbers is not afraid to use every tool in his directing arsenal with this self-aware, but not self-conscious, amalgamation of vintage and modern, classic and contemporary. Every creative team member is clearly working overtime to deliver excellence and opulence."

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Erik Sjodin
I saw ABBA first time in 1973 before they became famous in my hometown Lycksele. This show was excellent good in many ways. Especially the moves from in coordination between movies and the avatars. That made them more real.. A masterpiece from start to the end!! First time i cry in a show like this. Thd sound was better then in reality. Such a great job all of you made for all of us.. MAGIC.

Wicked

Experience
Stephen Farrington
The booking experience was both quick and easy. One suggestion is that if you use the underground to Victoria which exit to use from the station as we chose the wrong one and it took some time to find the theatre.

Back to the Future

Experience
Olivier Gosseries
Fabulous experience where the 1985 film is revised into a Grease-style musical! I went with my 11-year-old son and he loved it too. Don't hesitate to go and see this pure marvel on your own or with your family!
