4/5

“That famous descending organ riff and its synth-rock bass may scream 1980s camp, but this is a show committed to bombast, the grisly gothic tale of the murderous phantom menacing a 19th-century Paris theatre unashamedly embraces high drama, backed by a wall of sound when Lloyd Webber’s more dense writing contrasts with the hit melodies."

4/5

“There is a reason that Andrew Lloyd Webber’s tale of operatic shenanigans in 19th-century Paris has proved to have such longevity. The macabre melodrama of Gaston Leroux’s original novel, coupled with the gaudy excesses of big budget 1980s musical theatre design, combine to tell a story that demands a huge stage, over the top performances and spectacle.”

4/5

“‘Phantom…’ remains strong because its high production values haven’t been allowed to sag…its blazingly earnest ridiculousness and campy Grand Guignol story are entirely thrilling when realised with the show’s enormous budget.”

The Lion King

Experience
Annika Christine Billich
A breathtaking performance with incredibly talented performers, amazing voices, and incredible costumes. From the very first moment, you get goosebumps and feel transported back to your childhood. It’s one of the best London musicals I’ve seen so far.

The Lion King

Experience
Jun Yamato
I had a wonderful experience without any issues. I was truly moved. The ticket booking process was easy to understand, even for Japanese visitors, and I was able to book my tickets with ease. Since internet connectivity can be spotty near the venue depending on the network conditions, I took a screenshot of my booking details beforehand before heading there. There was a scene in *The Lion King* where the performers emerged from the back of the venue, and I was completely drawn into the world of *The Lion King*.

Amazing show all around. Performers, set, costumes, lighting and music were all fabulous. Shame the venue seating was too cramped for tall people.

Hamilton

Experience
Kerroumi Rahyan
An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The performances, music, stage design, and energy throughout the show were all absolutely outstanding. Coming from Paris, this was my very first English musical, and Hamilton completely exceeded my expectations. My girlfriend and I were originally seated in the front row, but the view wasn’t ideal (1st photo), so we decided to pay extra to move to better seats and fully enjoy the show and honestly (2nd photo), it was 100% worth it. If you’re planning a trip to London, this is a show you absolutely have to see.

The Book of Mormon

Experience
Craig Cockburn
Seeing The Book of Mormon was hands-down one of the funniest theatre experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, it’s outrageously bold, brilliantly written, and packed with laugh-out-loud moments that don’t let up. The music is insanely catchy (you’ll be humming it all the way home), and the cast delivers pure energy, charm, and comedic perfection. What really makes it stand out is how it balances shock humor with surprising heart—it’s clever, cheeky, and unexpectedly uplifting. Whether you’re a theatre lover or just looking for a night of unforgettable entertainment, this show absolutely delivers.

Romeo and Juliet

Experience
Juliana Koldehofe Marchais
It was the most beautiful performance I have yet seen! I really loved how they restaged this masterpiece of Shakespeare. Each actor brings really something very individual to this piece which makes it even more unique and easy to connect to the story. This performance was deeply inspiring, congratulations on this amazing work!

Kinky Boots

Experience
Debra Sharp
Johanson was born to play this part! It was a wonderful performance and Matt was incredible. Loved everything about this performance except for the seats in stalls P10 and 11! Soo uncomfortable.

Disney's Hercules

Experience
Rebecca Charlton
We wanted to catch a show while on our honeymoon in London and decided on Hercules due to its location in proximity to our hotel. The theater was absolutely stunning, and the staff was helpful and kind. Our seats were obstructed slightly by the balcony overhead, but it only affected the top portion of the screen. Luckily, the screen wasn't used much during the performance and we had a perfect view of all the cast on stage. The show itself was great and quite funny — the audience laughed and clapped along which made it an even more enjoyable experience. Loved this charming, quaint theater and would definitely come back for another show here!
