Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

The famous rock musical We Will Rock You is playing at London Coliseum. Despite being 21 years old the musical celebrating Queen's greatest hits has never sounded and looked fresher thanks to an incredible cast.  On paper, it sounds too conflicting to smash together Queen’s rock hits and a musical format. Don’t be put off though because it works. I was sceptical that it would seem like a tribute band but this was not the case. It is a full-on production from start to finish that magically seems to run parallel with Queen’s legacy but does not get too close and avoids becoming a tribute show. The storyline is set in the future and is very ‘self-mocking’. If I am honest the storyline is not what makes this musical great, you could be unaware of the story and still have a great evening thanks to the music and some of the jokes in between the songs. It’s a funny, light-hearted show and if you are expecting this when you go into the theatre you’ll have a fabulous night.

"We Will Rock You: That’s the show's title, the cast's promise. And, they do nothing less. Twenty years after this futuristic masterpiece took to the stage, it continues to wow the crowds in this spectacular production, that is simply magnifico in some places and slightly gaga in others."

"We Will Rock You may not be the smartest show in the world but it does have a lot going for it. While the book lets it down somewhat, it is salvaged by a truly incredible cast, some stunning moments and, obviously, that iconic Queen songbook. "

“Let’s face it – no one is expecting We Will Rock You to provide a Pulitzer-winning script or genre-defining creative expertise. But if audiences are there for some Queen classics, sung by the cream of the MT crop, that’s exactly what they’re going to be getting.”

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Julia Grabowska
The overall experience was amazing but the most mesmerizing for me were the costumes and the set design. I will surely remember the boat scene and how the whole space got lit up by all the candles. It was a sight!!

Matilda The Musical

Experience
Gozde Gul
This is the first musical I have ever gone to a theatre in London. For me the Matilda Musical was astonishing. The Concept was so pure and the production of the theatre is amazing. The children's acting was so realistic. The actor who played Miss Trunchbull was so funny. I recommend this musical to everyone.

Beetlejuice

Experience
Yasmeen Eisa Sabeino
It was a modern comedy musical score with bit inclusion of current issues on lyrics to rapping cadence to usual rhythm & theatrical music & melody. . The Actors acted so well and convincing, and the costumes & props are on point as I've seen in the movies. Had an enjoyable & fun night. Unable to upload photos dince taking pics are not allowed during the show.
