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.

4/5

“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.”

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Nils Axel Adlercreutz Bidegain
Primera vez que puedo ver en vivo este amado clásico, la interpretación de todos los actores es impecable. Me encantó especialmente la dulzura de Anna Zavelson al interpretar a Christine Daaé. Espero tener la oportunidad de volver a ver una vez más la obra !!

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Brenda Magro
It is an unforgettable experience. The cast delivered a realistic atmosphere, making you feeling like you are part of the story. The chandelier is a statement on it's own. It's worth spending a penny and have a good seat. We took the Royal Cirle Row B seat 20/21. It is central and you can view all the stage.

The Lion King

Experience

The performance was top notch! The acting, the singing and dancing, the whole package carried us along even with a slightly different storyline. The audience really flowed with the performance, we were all clapping and cheering several times during the show. Very well coordinated performance. Although my seat was far from the stage, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It exceeded our expectations & became one of our most favorite memories from our trip to London. The music, the cast, everything was perfection. I even noticed my husband with tears streaming down his face a few times. It was an unforgettable night! Stalls Row G 31-32

Witness for the Prosecution

Experience
Gary Humphries
This was a sparkling example of the British theatrical tradition. Superb performances were matched by a wonderful setting; the old London County Council chamber made an excellent courtroom. I loved how 12 patrons became the trial jurors, playing their impromptu roles convincingly.

The Lyric Theatre was gorgeous and was easily to navigate. The lighting was amazing and the stage layout was great from my seat! The singing was amazing along with the dancing and acoustics.
