Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Kyoto at @sohoplace is a surprisingly thrilling ride about a rather unlikely topic for theater. Based on the real-life Kyoto Agreement of 1997 that saw international diplomats, scientists, politicians, and activists from 150 countries band together to act on climate change, this is a play that simmers with tension and quiet emotion, weaving through the political complexities that define how we address global issues. If you're looking for a thought-provoking piece of theatre that stays with you, this might be just the ticket.

4/5

"Kyoto, by Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson, is so indecently entertaining it almost feels like the result of a bet to choose the dullest, worthiest subject imaginable and make it as fun as humanly possible."

5/5

"A play about protocols, punctuation, politics and procedure doesn’t sound like the stuff of dream drama. Yet Kyoto, about the behind-the-scenes battles to create the first global agreement on combating dangerous climate change, is a work of Shakespearean sweep and ambition, an invigorating and challenging piece of political theatre."

David Benedict,

Variety

"As urgent and vital as it is, an investigation into international angles on climate change doesn’t sound remotely theatrical, let alone a race-to-the finish thriller. But that is precisely what directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin achieve..."

Disney's Hercules

Experience
Peter Berkmann
It was a great show with good performers. The audience really went wild for the Weather Girls. It was fun, even if English isn't your native language.

Disney's Hercules

Experience
Kristina Jahnke
I really enjoyed the Hercules! The Muses & Meg absolutely killed it. Loved the production design, really elaborate and most of the costumes. 1 star deducted because as it's a "fun", touristy musical, so is the crowd and I sat next to some girls who were talking and checking their phone throughout the show and didn't seem like they were interested in the show. A shame for people who would really love to go but can't afford it.

My Neighbour Totoro

Experience
Margarida Massas
I was a fan of the movie to begin with but this completely blew me away. I believe it's a story everyone can take something from, regardless of age. The stage production far surpassed my expectations and they were already quite high after seeing Spirited Away. A story about two girls going through a hard and dark period and the first spirit who helps them keep fear from taking over, with so many funny moments in between, it was an absolute joy to watch!

Come Alive

Experience
Jasper Van De Maele
What an experience, to call this show anything less than a spectacular performance is an understatement.. I truly felt that everybody on stage is so massively talented and they all work together to create such ambiance for the audience! I can't count the amount of times the actors were interacting with me or other audience members. The singing, dancing and acrobatics were so magnetic to watch I was sining all the way home

The Book of Mormon

Experience
Sonja Blackburn
Great seats, fab concierge staff and efficient barstaff. The cast and crew demonstrated their passion and professuinalism for the show and their parts within in it. I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's performance as much as I did when I first saw the show many years ago.
