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.”

Les Misérables

Musical was incredible! Never seen the film before but story was very clear. The cast was really good and the theatre was nice and comfortable. We were in the stalls and had our own bar. Our tickets said that we might have a restricted view of the top of the set, but we could see the whole musical! Enjoyed it very much and had a lovely evening.

To see this musical withy daughter in the West End was a dream come true! It did not disappoint - the Sonheim theatre delivered a truly magnificent rendition of Les Miserables! The theatre itself was beautiful and I'm in awe of the incredibly talented cast members.
Thank you for this wonderful experience!

It was wonderful—not just the performance itself, but the costumes and the set design as well. The set is fabulous; it changes all the time. It’s definitely worth seeing.

We took my 12 year old son to this show for our first West End experience and it was amazing! The show itself, the music, the characters, the dancing and singing...all of it was top notch! My son said he was sad when it ended and said it was the highlight of his trip to London!
