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.”

To Kill A Mockingbird
Julian P Fieldwick
The performances were faultless. I was completely immersed in the play. To Kill a Mockingbird is a very important work for my daughter and me. When she was doing her GCSEs, I read the book to her every evening. This performance did justice to the classic work of fiction. I was mesmerised. At the end of the play, my daughter turned to me with tears running down her cheeks. That's how moving it was. This experience was only heightened by the fact that we were lucky enough to be seated in a beautifully maintained theatre. The Wyndham's Thestre was spectacular and has to be the most gorgeous theatre I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The icing on the cake was the fact that each and every member of staff was unfailingly polite and professional. It was one of the most memorable events of my life, and I can safely say that my daughter felt the same way!

Les Misérables

Show was something of a pilgrimage for me. I have known it my whole life but never saw it live.
It did not disappoint.
Éponine (Jess Folley) was a standout for me. Fresh and 'on my own was particularly moving.
I would go again if I could.

We absolutely loved it! The venue is lovely, there were some soap/smoke bubbles before. The actors were awesome and so was the setup and the costumes. Another bonus - it's short, so suitable for smaller children.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

An absolutely extraordinary show!
We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes completely lost in the moment. The singers are exceptional, the dancers are incredible, and the choreography flows with wild energy, without a single lull.
The song selections are spot-on and perfectly integrated into the show. And what can I say about the costumes: sumptuous, spectacular, and truly visually over-the-top 🤩
The theater itself is magnificent and adds so much to the experience.
In short, a grand, lavish, and flawlessly executed show. We had a really, really great time, and I highly recommend it!
A quick practical tip 🥶 : be sure to bring a light sweater! It gets pretty cold in the theater.

The show was one of the best I've ever seen in my life—it felt like a live concert with absolutely stunning special effects, and it really looked like the four of them were actually on stage. In fact, my family and I were debating whether they were exact lookalikes or what?
Amazing!!! It’s totally worth it—a MUST-SEE in London!! And super easy to get to💪🏻
