Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Since its 2006 debut at Apollo Victoria, Wicked has sustained its popularity, drawing an international audience to the massive theatre. In a world still enamoured with supernatural creatures, this Oz prequel has found its niche with witches, offering a stylish and bombastic musical experience that continues captivating theatregoers.

4/5

"The film world continues its love affair with werewolves, vampires and all things 'Twilight'. But theatre types have always known witches are where it's at. After its 2006 opening at Apollo Victoria, Oz prequel 'Wicked' continues to fill this massive theatre with an international crowd of voracious consumers (glass of champagne and a choccy for £16 anyone?).

“With fabulously OTT steampunk design, lavish lighting and the West End's biggest orchestra, the show is full of old-school bombast”

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Pooja Priyadarshini
This is the best way to get into immersive plays. Loved it. We sat in the grand circle row. Not the best seats but there wasn't any seats left so we took what was available. Balcony seats are the best. Next time will look for them.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Experience
Max Mario Schiefer
An absolutely incredible theatre experience! The Phoenix Theatre itself is a beautiful, historic theatre, and the view from my seat was excellent. The show had an amazing opening that immediately created a special atmosphere. When the ship appeared on stage, I was genuinely speechless. The production was simply breathtaking. The incredible effects, fantastic acting and perfectly fitting music made the entire experience incredibly immersive. I especially loved how there were so many connections and parallels to the original Stranger Things series, while the play still felt like its own story. During the performance, I completely forgot that I was watching a theatre production and not a movie. The slow-motion effect and the opening scene are moments that will stay with me for a very long time. Even now, they still leave me speechless. An absolute highlight and a must-see, especially for every Stranger Things fan!

The Gruffalo

Experience
Amit kapoor
What made The Gruffalo performance unforgettable was the combination of funny acting, colourful costumes, music and audience participation. The actors brought the Mouse, Fox, Owl, Snake and Gruffalo to life in a lively and entertaining way. I especially enjoyed how the audience could join in and react to what was happening on stage. The moment when the Gruffalo appeared was exciting and surprising, which made the performance feel magical and memorable.

Beetlejuice

Experience
Noah de Jager
This performance of Beetlejuice was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience. From banjo-breaking demons to spirit-eating sandworms, this musical had it all. For a self-proclaimed show about death, it was able to masterfully layer humor and whimsy onto every scene without taking away from it's heavy themes. During the performance, a dazzling show of light served to bridge the gap between the audience and the stage. Perfect choreography, superb singing and impeccable acting made this an experience to remember. Yet, Above all, the elaborate puppets were what really set this show apart, huge monsters with intricate patterns slithering through the set. This is the type of musical you can watch a million times and love it all the more. Attached is a picture of the set prior to the performance, this is the only one I took since it was forbidden to take photos during the performance.
