191Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
Matilda The Musical has, over the years, become a timeless classic in London's West End. It has captivated audiences, both young and old, with its endearing story of resilience, wit, love, and the transformative power of knowledge. It is like going back to a piece of your childhood again. Playing at the prestigious Cambridge Theatre, this delightful production, adapted from Roald Dahl's beloved children's book, is sure to mesmerise you with its talented cast, heart-warming story, amazing set design, and a soundtrack that you’ll be humming long after the final curtain call.

Lyn Gardner,
The Guardian5/5
“If anything, it is actually richer than Dahl's novel. It captures all the original's delicious nastiness, particularly in depicting Matilda's school, Crunchem Hall (motto: "children are maggots"), run by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull, but it also celebrates the solace of books and the transforming powers of the imagination.”
Sam Marlowe,
Time Out4/5
“With hindsight, Kelly and Minchin's musical, born of the 1988 novel by that master of the splendidly grotesque Roald Dahl, is a little too long and, dramatically, a tad wayward. But like the curly-haired little girl in the famous nursery rhyme, when it is good, it is very, very good. And it's even better when it's horrid.”
Charles Spencer,
The Telegraph5/5
“Matthew Warchus’s thrilling, warm-hearted production, exuberantly designed by Rob Howell and with pin-sharp choreography by Peter Darling, constantly combines comedy with a sense of wonder.”

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
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.

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!
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.

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

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.
