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."

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!

Experience

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.

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.
