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.

"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.”

Disney's Hercules

Experience
Peter Berkmann
It was a great show with good performers. The audience really went wild for the Weather Girls. It was fun, even if English isn't your native language.

Disney's Hercules

Experience
Kristina Jahnke
I really enjoyed the Hercules! The Muses & Meg absolutely killed it. Loved the production design, really elaborate and most of the costumes. 1 star deducted because as it's a "fun", touristy musical, so is the crowd and I sat next to some girls who were talking and checking their phone throughout the show and didn't seem like they were interested in the show. A shame for people who would really love to go but can't afford it.

My Neighbour Totoro

Experience
Margarida Massas
I was a fan of the movie to begin with but this completely blew me away. I believe it's a story everyone can take something from, regardless of age. The stage production far surpassed my expectations and they were already quite high after seeing Spirited Away. A story about two girls going through a hard and dark period and the first spirit who helps them keep fear from taking over, with so many funny moments in between, it was an absolute joy to watch!

Come Alive

Experience
Jasper Van De Maele
What an experience, to call this show anything less than a spectacular performance is an understatement.. I truly felt that everybody on stage is so massively talented and they all work together to create such ambiance for the audience! I can't count the amount of times the actors were interacting with me or other audience members. The singing, dancing and acrobatics were so magnetic to watch I was sining all the way home

The Book of Mormon

Experience
Sonja Blackburn
Great seats, fab concierge staff and efficient barstaff. The cast and crew demonstrated their passion and professuinalism for the show and their parts within in it. I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's performance as much as I did when I first saw the show many years ago.
