Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

The Mousetrap stands as a testament to theatrical endurance. Although not a groundbreaking trendsetter, Agatha Christie's classic play offers a unique time capsule, preserving the atmosphere and DNA of its first performance. It defies genre expectations, presenting a murder mystery that transcends the years, inviting audiences to experience the ambience of the past. This mummified relic, the world's longest-running show, allows theatregoers to step into "Agatha Christie time" and relish the peculiar authenticity of the 1950s setting.

3/5

"The West End’s longest-running show displays no sign of slowing down.

At the end of this elegant Agatha Christie thriller, the newly uncovered homicidal maniac steps into a sinister spotlight and warns everyone never to reveal his or her identity. The production recently celebrated its 60th birthday and although Wikipedia and Stephen Fry have both blown the murderer's cover, there is a remarkable conspiracy of silence over 'The Moustrap'.”

“Directed by Robyn Nevin, this Mousetrap is springy and efficient…The pace is cracking, the timing excellent, the characterisations warm and full.”

4/5

“The Mousetrap is the definition of a must-see show. Actually, scratch that, this is a must-solve show. Ripe with suspense that’ll put you on the edge of your seat, this Agatha Christie narrative is riveting from beginning to end and loaded with characters that are all uniquely compelling. Dust off your dark overcoat, light scarf and soft felt hat and get ready to witness the world-famous mystery that has surprised generation after generation.”

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!

Experience

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.
