Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

If you're looking for an irresistible, feel-good musical experience, and if you’re an ABBA fan to boot, then Mamma Mia! is the perfect show for you. Playing at the Novello Theatre in London's West End, this beloved musical is an unmissable event that will have you dancing in your seat and singing along to the iconic hits from the Swedish supergroup. No matter your age, you will find someone relatable in Mamma Mia! — whether it be the sweet and idealistic Sophie, who is looking for her father to walk her down the aisle, or the hardworking single mother Donna who gets unexpectedly reunited with her past lovers, or the ‘Dynamos’, Rosie and Tanya, the chaotic best friends of Donna. There is just something irresistible about all the characters in the musical.

“Mamma Mia! is energetic, funny and entertaining and appeals to all ages”

Marianka Swain,

The Telegraph

4/5

“...with its affirmation that families come in different forms, its sex-positivity and its strong female leads, Mamma Mia also has contemporary cred. Buoyed by Abba’s enduring brilliance, it’s a welcome shot of pure sunshine.”

Douglas Mayo,

4/5

“...this is no mere jukebox musical but a well-crafted show. Mamma Mia! remains an incredibly fun night at the theatre and it’s still difficult to believe that the show’s score of timeless pop was not purpose written for this show.”

An amazing show to which we returned after 15 years. The thrill of emotions accompanied us as much as before, so keep it up. We hope to visit your theater in the future.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Experience
Audrey Escobar Perez
This was the best performance I have ever seen. The story was amazing. And I can't say this enough Louis Healy ( Henry ) was just mind blowing. The way he moved his body and acted was just incredible. The rest were also good. But he was just outstanding. The special effects were also amazing.

Mary, Queen of Scots

Experience

Very original production- my first opera! The staging was intriguing and the music excellence! The London coliseum is an amazing building - worth a visit on its own!

Mamma Mia!

Experience
Anne JOSEPH
The show is absolutely brilliant and the artists fabulous. The only downside is the comfort of the seats, especially the legroom. This theater dates back to 1913, and people in those days certainly had smaller statues. The charm of old theaters. To round off an extra-special London trip.

Experience
Sabine Segret
Very good performance 👍 No holds barred You don't understand English ???? It doesn't matter; the beauty of the tableaux, the voices of the performers (gold medal for Dona!) and the choreographer's skill carry you along in this beautiful story 😍

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Gerd Steinmannq
The ABBA concert was a really great experience with a goosebump feeling. The organization was great, the band played superbly and all in all it was a great experience that I can only recommend. We had a great evening and the tickets were worth every penny.
