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.

4/5

“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.”

Very persuasive and enthusiastic performances. No songs. A wonderful theatre -- 100+ years old, quaint, charming and packed with a buzzing audience who helped create a wonderful atmosphere.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Nicole Nieweg
For true Harry Potter fans, the play is a highlight. I have seen this play in Hamburg and London, I have to admit that Hamburg manages to make this event big. London can take a leaf out of its book. Nevertheless, it was good.

Phantom of the Opera

Experience
Belinda Lavon Gonzalez
The show as fantastic and the theatre was Magnificent! I live in Tampa, Florida and we don't have historical theaters so we were in awe ant the beauty of His Majesty. I've been to several in New York and this venue surpassed those. The staff was friendly, helpful and moved us in quickly. Toilettes were clean. The theater sound was incredible!!
