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."

The Mousetrap

Experience

Very persuasive and enthusiastic performances. No songs. A wonderful theatre -- 100+ years old, quaint, charming and packed with a buzzing audience who helped create a wonderful atmosphere.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Nicole Nieweg
For true Harry Potter fans, the play is a highlight. I have seen this play in Hamburg and London, I have to admit that Hamburg manages to make this event big. London can take a leaf out of its book. Nevertheless, it was good.

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Belinda Lavon Gonzalez
The show as fantastic and the theatre was Magnificent! I live in Tampa, Florida and we don't have historical theaters so we were in awe ant the beauty of His Majesty. I've been to several in New York and this venue surpassed those. The staff was friendly, helpful and moved us in quickly. Toilettes were clean. The theater sound was incredible!!
