12Here’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.”

ABBA Voyage
William Shephard
My wife and I flew from Mexico 🇲🇽 just to see this concert. It was amazing and transported us back to the time when ABBA was the big ticket of the time. It met all our expectations and to be in a crowd where the vibe was outstanding, everyone dancing and singing... having the time of our lives 🤣 It was truly an honor to be there, kudos to the production team and all involved. You really outdid yourselves and thank you for a wonderful life experience 🙏

I came to travel and experience London for few days from Israel and it was one of the best unforgettable shows that I watched in my life! Although it wasn't the real humen ABBA it was an hell of a production.
No doubt I'll be back one day to experience it AGAIN!

Hamilton
Reiss Humpage
Seeing Hamilton in the stunning Victoria theatre was a one in a lifetime experience. The cast are incredible and they did it so perfectly, the staff were wonderful and really helped make the experience so great. The drinks although expensive were really strong which is good! Someone next to us were on their phone taking calls and texting throughout the show, we reported it to the staff and they spoke to them and they didn't come back after the interval which was great as they were really distracting. I think it might be worth the staff being a lot more strict on that sort of thing as it ruins the experience for others but luckily it was handled but it wasn't spotted by them in the first half, they had even spoke to them a few times, it should be one warning and then your out. I really recommend going to see Hamilton, it's worth every penny.

Les Misérables

I loved the musical, however the sound was not optimal and the songs were not clearly understood, not the dialogues. Anyway the singers were excellent.

Mamma Mia!

Beautiful and functional theater. The show was truly overwhelming, with very high-level performers who were able to keep the audience's attention from the first to the last minute.
Unmissable experience to be absolutely repeated

Hello, Dolly!
Kyle Sheldon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s a slow-burn Dolly…and it works brilliantly. This one fully embraces the poignancy—subsequently making the joyful moments burn even brighter. The director was clearly a fan of the movie; seamlessly blending the best of it into the stage version & Dame Imelda was surprisingly born to play this role. “Wow, wow, wow fellas” INDEED!!!!

I was very happy with the performance, the place where I was sitting was so-so, you couldn't see the top of the stage 😞
