Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Based on a quirky little 1930s French movie, The Baker’s Wife has often struggled to find its stride on the stage. The latest adaptation, however, has managed to strike the right notes with a perfect balance between nuanced sentimentality and whimsical humor. This is no easy feat with a story that revolves around romance, heartbreak, and scandal in a sleepy provincial town. Yet this production breathes new life into this tale and makes for an enchanting watch.

“This Stephen Schwartz curio comes to vivid life in a beautifully judged revival that’s equal parts goofy and yearning.”

“The Baker’s Wife has had a rocky road – it never made it to Broadway, and only had a short West End run in 1989 – but its whimsical charms are beautifully showcased in this intimate Menier production.”

“American director Gordon Greenberg gets the balance between lush romanticism and wry humour mostly right… overlaying it with heartbreak, sultry atmospherics and an unmistakable erotic charge.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
ELEONORA IACCARINO
The theater very much suited to the type of show. Truly spectacular cast not only the two leads but also the various supporting actors. Only drawback the air conditioning maybe a little too cold. But overall all very very satisfactory

The Devil Wears Prada

Experience
Irene Irene
Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The production was the best one I've ever seen in my life. I love Theatre and Cinema (I work in cinema industry) and I was amazed by the scenographic artistry and the perfect vocals. I loved the love you feel by entering the theatre, the bar was so cute and the assistance crew was polite. Thank you for this spectacular experience♥️ I'll never forget it.
