7Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
The famous rock musical We Will Rock You is playing at London Coliseum. Despite being 21 years old the musical celebrating Queen's greatest hits has never sounded and looked fresher thanks to an incredible cast. On paper, it sounds too conflicting to smash together Queen’s rock hits and a musical format. Don’t be put off though because it works. I was sceptical that it would seem like a tribute band but this was not the case. It is a full-on production from start to finish that magically seems to run parallel with Queen’s legacy but does not get too close and avoids becoming a tribute show. The storyline is set in the future and is very ‘self-mocking’. If I am honest the storyline is not what makes this musical great, you could be unaware of the story and still have a great evening thanks to the music and some of the jokes in between the songs. It’s a funny, light-hearted show and if you are expecting this when you go into the theatre you’ll have a fabulous night.

Bea Maynard,
London Theatre4/5
"We Will Rock You: That’s the show's title, the cast's promise. And, they do nothing less. Twenty years after this futuristic masterpiece took to the stage, it continues to wow the crowds in this spectacular production, that is simply magnifico in some places and slightly gaga in others."
Daz Gale,
All That Dazzles3/5
"We Will Rock You may not be the smartest show in the world but it does have a lot going for it. While the book lets it down somewhat, it is salvaged by a truly incredible cast, some stunning moments and, obviously, that iconic Queen songbook. "
Alex Wood,
Whats On Stage3/5
“Let’s face it – no one is expecting We Will Rock You to provide a Pulitzer-winning script or genre-defining creative expertise. But if audiences are there for some Queen classics, sung by the cream of the MT crop, that’s exactly what they’re going to be getting.”

Everything. This is my 3rd time watching the show and the first time for my LO. I thought with so many kids it will be noisy but it wasn't. Enjoyed it yet again.

A truly fun night! The guys were, of course, incredibly handsome with sculpted bodies, and they were also amazing dancers, full of energy and charisma. The moment that struck me the most was the act with the female dancer and the aerial rope—elegant, powerful, and moving. A perfect mix of sensuality and talent!

TINA: The Tina Turner Musical
Anke Hoppe
It was a great experience all round, even if you didn't speak English very well. You knew the theme and the music lightened it up. It was a pity that we were only allowed to take pictures at the very end. I would have liked to have recommended this musical to my friends in Germany.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Sandra Petra Heiden
Moulin Rouge is simply a great musical, I deduct one star because I think that you have to be able to see everything from all seats and that wasn't the case for us (Grand Circle D1-4, E1-4)!
Otherwise, production, actors, quality, there is nothing to complain about, an absolutely breathtaking experience!

The show is very nice, but overpriced for the money. The sound was not optimal, especially at the beginning. In between too. The synchronization between sound and lip movement was also sometimes off. But as an ABBA fan, you can overlook this and are happy to have seen your favorite stars. The atmosphere is very nice and the light show is gigantic.

Hamilton
Valeria Ziulina
Absolutely loved the show, it was just perfect! The staff was friendly and helpful, the seats and the view were great. It was my forst time seeing Hamilton and I really enjoyed watching it from Royal circle. I could see the whole stage and enjoy the choreography while also being emotionally involved with the characters.
