Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

It’s scrappy street urchins versus media magnates in Disney’s blockbuster musical Newsies. It isn’t exactly hot off the presses (the Broadway production premiered over ten years ago) but it’s so fun it warranted a Newsies review. After all, it still manages to dazzle with a charming ensemble cast, toe-tapping tunes, and dance numbers that will make you want to jeté (jump) up and down Olympic Way.

"Spectacular choreography and catchy songs elevate this Disney musical."

"Disney’s cult classic musical about striking finally hits the UK – and it’s a delight."

Marianka Swain,

The Telegraph

4/5

“While this underdog tale doesn’t have the most sophisticated of narratives, I can absolutely see its themes resonating with audiences, particularly its inspiring message that the next generation of social justice warriors can change the world. We could do with that hope right now - and with a huge, spectacular show which proves, once and for all, that musical theatre is good for the soul.”

Chris Wiegand,

3/5

“This show about young New York paper-sellers has stirring anthems and screwball energy, even if it lacks emotional and political depth.”

To Kill A Mockingbird

Experience
Julian P Fieldwick
The performances were faultless. I was completely immersed in the play. To Kill a Mockingbird is a very important work for my daughter and me. When she was doing her GCSEs, I read the book to her every evening. This performance did justice to the classic work of fiction. I was mesmerised. At the end of the play, my daughter turned to me with tears running down her cheeks. That's how moving it was. This experience was only heightened by the fact that we were lucky enough to be seated in a beautifully maintained theatre. The Wyndham's Thestre was spectacular and has to be the most gorgeous theatre I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The icing on the cake was the fact that each and every member of staff was unfailingly polite and professional. It was one of the most memorable events of my life, and I can safely say that my daughter felt the same way!

Les Misérables

Experience
Mervyn Trollip
Show was something of a pilgrimage for me. I have known it my whole life but never saw it live. It did not disappoint. Éponine (Jess Folley) was a standout for me. Fresh and 'on my own was particularly moving. I would go again if I could.

The Enormous Crocodile

Experience
Masha Maria Kroupnikov
We absolutely loved it! The venue is lovely, there were some soap/smoke bubbles before. The actors were awesome and so was the setup and the costumes. Another bonus - it's short, so suitable for smaller children.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Karine KALIFA BLIGNY
An absolutely extraordinary show! We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes completely lost in the moment. The singers are exceptional, the dancers are incredible, and the choreography flows with wild energy, without a single lull. The song selections are spot-on and perfectly integrated into the show. And what can I say about the costumes: sumptuous, spectacular, and truly visually over-the-top 🤩 The theater itself is magnificent and adds so much to the experience. In short, a grand, lavish, and flawlessly executed show. We had a really, really great time, and I highly recommend it! A quick practical tip 🥶 : be sure to bring a light sweater! It gets pretty cold in the theater.

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Berta Torrens Cervero
The show was one of the best I've ever seen in my life—it felt like a live concert with absolutely stunning special effects, and it really looked like the four of them were actually on stage. In fact, my family and I were debating whether they were exact lookalikes or what? Amazing!!! It’s totally worth it—a MUST-SEE in London!! And super easy to get to💪🏻
