24Here’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.

Dominic Cavendish,
The Guardian4/5
“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."
Sarah Crompton,
WhatsOnStage4/5
"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.”
Marianka Swain,
The Arts Desk4/5
“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,
The Guardian4/5
"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."
Suzy Evans,
London Theatreland4/5
"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."

My Neighbour Totoro
Antonio De Chiara
Absolutely amazing. The actor were truly stunning both in appearance and acting. There was not a single things that I didn't like. Costumes, performances, staff, musician, singer, the scenic effect department. It's the first time that I went out of a theater by giving a 10/10 experience.

My Neighbour Totoro
Philipp Thiemo Metz
A very beautiful play with excellent music, a lively production, great actors, and a wonderful atmosphere. You are not allowed to take photos during the performance. The seats were very good, with the best view, and it is a beautiful theater. Everything went great with Headout too, no problems at all. Thank you very much. Would gladly do it again!

Phantom of the Opera
Dianne Watts
When we arrived by cab, a very friendly young man met us at the curb and looked at our tickets. He shepherded us to the proper entrance line and offered to take our picture. We showed our digital tickets at the door and were in , no problem. We had time to get a drink, look at cool Phantom merchandise, and get settled in our seats before the show started. The theater was more cozy than it appeared on the online seating chart but very charming. The show was fantastic! All the leading parts were handled beautifully. The sets were amazing. The actress who provided the comic relief was outstanding. We had a marvelous time. Highly recommended!

The Mousetrap
Guillaume Vansteenbrugge
The play *The Mousetrap* has been running for over fifty years, which is my age. Thousands of performances and a constantly renewed joy of discovering the plot and its characters. Classic Agatha Christie. Let's keep the secret!

Disney’s The Lion King
Dirk Georg
Great costumes and fantastic actors, who also won us over with their voices! And the theater itself is well worth a visit! Not to mention that the overall service was great too.

Les Misérables
Tan Kay Kheng
Mesmerising to watch this again in London after my first time at the 1000th performance in 1988! The staging, and the ever familiar songs like Who am I?, I Dream a Dream and Empty Chairs at Enpty Tables enthralled me and were moving as ever! Every Les Miserables performance never disappoints!

Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Nils Bock
I saw Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the theater and was very impressed overall. The production, the atmosphere, and the effects were truly extraordinary and brought the world of Stranger Things to life in a whole new way. The performance in English also worked well for me and captured the mood of the play very well.
Unfortunately, my view of the stage was severely restricted as I could only see the bottom half. Most of the time, this wasn't a major issue because the plot and the most important scenes were still easy to understand. However, there were a few parts that took place exclusively in the upper part of the stage. Because of this, I unfortunately couldn't follow them at all or only partially, which detracted slightly from the experience.
Despite this, I really enjoyed the play. The story, the actors, and the technical execution were truly worth seeing. I would definitely recommend it, but when choosing seats, I would make sure to have the best possible view of the entire stage.
