Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Lucy Bailey's revival of Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution at London's County Hall is a delightful journey back to the golden era of courtroom dramas. The play's imaginative staging captivates audiences with Christie's ingenious plot. The setting in the historic chamber of the County Hall adds a layer of authenticity to the legal theatrics, transforming the space into the Old Bailey and immersing the audience in the suspenseful world of Leonard Vole's murder trial.

“Lucy Bailey’s production of Agatha Christie’s ingenious courtroom drama fits perfectly in this debating chamber”

4/5

“Christie’s suspicious view of human nature intersects brilliantly with the vagaries of the legal system in her Witness for the Prosecution play. The majority of the action takes place in the courtroom, and its inherent theatricality is dialled up to the max: costumes and wigs, exhibits held aloft like props, and competing florid barristers attempting to convince us that their story is the truth.“

I had one night to myself in London and decided to check out the Book of Mormon. It was incredible and absolutely hilarious!! Every actor on that stage is nothing short of phenomenal. I had the absolute best time and would recommend this show and theatre to anyone!!

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Helene Le Du
A very beautiful show. The costumes are a feast for the eyes. The story is easy to follow, even without subtitles. We didn't expect the dialogues to be so funny. Lots of covers of well-known songs.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Experience
El Ktibi Layla
The show was incredible, it felt like a movie but in real life. The performers were Amazing ; the sound and spécial effects were crazy good. I was seated at the extrême left side but still had a perfect view (except at few moments when there were scenes at the back of the stage). I wish I could re-Watch it again 😭

The Lion King

Experience
Loo Lip Jin
The Lyceum Theater was very nice, but unfortuantely they charge £1 for booster seats. I mean we already paid quite a lot for the ticket but was shocked to know. The Seats at the theater was very nice and the atmosphere was just right for the Lion King, sound stage was clear and everyone was in awe. Highly recommended for those who want to relive the Lion King Era.

The Play That Goes Wrong

Experience
Kathryn Lies
We sat in the center of dress circle, which is a great place to sit (unless you are very short, then I would suggest the front row of the dress circle). It was non-stop laughter the entire time. The only downside was the length; I think the second half was a little too long, and the audience was getting tired. Otherwise, a wonderful play, and a good choice for the one play that we were able to see on our short visit to London!
