1Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
A show that keeps you thinking even days after you’ve seen it is always a good one and highlights just how talented the writers are. Michael R. Jackson has a hit here and I can’t wait for A Strange Loop to reshape the West End. I hope it encourages a wave of new, inventive, unapologetic and more honest musical theatre. A show like this makes everyone question what they really want from theatre. For me, it is undeniably a unique, untold story, with incredible musical and visual creativity and more diversity. It’s that simple!

Arifa Akbar,
The Guardian4/5
"Michael R Jackson’s Pulitzer-winning play is a strikingly original, highly entertaining tour of identity politics and the struggles of selfhood."
Tim Bano,
Evening Standard5/5
"It’s messy and exhausting as much as it is spectacular. It’s too long, too repetitious, too much - and I’d watch it again in an instant."
Chris Selman,
Gay Times4/5
“It’s a unique and unpredictable piece of theatre – thoughtful, beautiful, painful, sad, challenging, provocative and occasionally hilarious. We would recommend people see this while they can: it feels like an important piece of queer theatre, and one that considers a whole range of important issues that aren’t really represented elsewhere on the stage.”

Les Misérables
Lotte Steenbeeke
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.

Pow! What an amazing experience for fans of the Greatest Showman or for those who are not fans. It was spectacular. In an outside of the main show tent. Would highly recommend.

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!
