Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

In an era where musicals often lean into spectacle over substance, this revival of Dickens's timeless story delivers both in spades. What sets this version apart is its ability to find beauty in the darkness, whether it's a shaft of golden light piercing through London smoke or the haunting harmony of workhouse children dreaming of food. While the classic tale remains unchanged, it is a reinvention that makes you feel as though you're discovering the story for the first time.

5/5

"A glorious evening of song and dance that doesn’t shy away from the subtext of this quintessential London musical"

Sarah Hemming,

5/5

"As silken as the handkerchiefs Fagin’s boys pickpocket from the gentry, and as polished as the jewels he secretly stashes beneath the floor, this gorgeous staging of Oliver! oozes class as it high-kicks its way into the West End."

Neil Fisher,

The Times

4/5

"Lipkin captures both the plight of a traumatised immigrant — and of anyone trying to lead a good life in a dark and devious world."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Diego Madronal
I had an unforgettable time watching Moulin Rouge at the Piccadilly Theatre in London! The entire show was spectacular, visually stunning, musically brilliant, and emotionally powerful from start to finish. The performances were full of energy and passion, and the set design was nothing short of breathtaking. I booked my tickets through Headout and everything went smoothly and effortlessly. I was especially impressed with the seating (third row of the Grand Circle) with fantastic visibility of the entire stage. It was the perfect vantage point to take in all the dazzling choreography, the song choices, the beautiful costumes, and lighting effects. You really feel the magic of the show from up there. Highly recommend both the show and booking with Headout. It was a five-star experience all around, and I’d go again in a heartbeat!

The Lion King

Experience
Loretta Delahunty
The show was fantastic. It was lovely to see the different ages of the audience, from very young to elderly people, there were a lot of school trips, again of varying ages. I have seen the show before but it was the first time my husband had seen it. He absolutely loved it ❤️

Hadestown

Experience
Antonina Kaźmierska
We chose to see Hadestown, because it's my friend's favourite musical. But I have to admit that we both loved the show!! Even though we had seats with restricted view, we could see almost everything what was happening on stage (which was amazing on its own). The organisation was great; everything went smooth. And I swear the staff of Lyrical Theater were the kindest people - always smiling and ready to help!

Oliver!

Experience
Olimpia Romero
True Broadway quality performance by Fagan, Artful Dodger, Oliver, Nancy, boys etc. the standing ovations spoke for themselves. So glad we made the performance. Oliver Twist should be brought to Miami/Ft Lauderdale area.

Starlight Express

Experience
Greg Lanyon
There is not really a bad seat in the theatre as the cast on roller skates. A very vibrant production with unbelievable staging and lighting. Very easy booking and had a chance to visit nearby Wembley stadium at the same time. Took the train from Kensington.
