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.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Wayne E Watson
Sets were incredible. The voice were stupendous. The acting was off the chart wonderful. Pure acting and singing talent. We sat in royal balcony and the view was fantastic. We look forward to returning to London and seeing another production at the Piccadilly Theatre.
(One recommendation would be to include on the website some recommended parking garages for those of us coming from out of town in vehicles.) love love loved it!!!

The Play That Goes Wrong

The Play That Goes Wrong was absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed so much in ages. The cast were fantastic and I loved the interaction they had with the audience. I particularly liked the mispronounced words and the visual humour.

Hamilton
Monika Sonta
An amazing show in a beautiful venue! Hamilton absolutely delivers – brilliant music, powerful choreography, and incredible energy from the cast throughout. The show is clearly physically demanding, especially for the dancers, who brought nonstop intensity and precision to every scene.
Victoria Theatre is the perfect setting – elegant, well-maintained, and full of atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience.
And a special shoutout to the King – absolutely hilarious and a true highlight of the night!
Definitely a must-see – unforgettable from start to finish!
