12Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
The famous rock musical We Will Rock You is playing at London Coliseum. Despite being 21 years old the musical celebrating Queen's greatest hits has never sounded and looked fresher thanks to an incredible cast. On paper, it sounds too conflicting to smash together Queen’s rock hits and a musical format. Don’t be put off though because it works. I was sceptical that it would seem like a tribute band but this was not the case. It is a full-on production from start to finish that magically seems to run parallel with Queen’s legacy but does not get too close and avoids becoming a tribute show. The storyline is set in the future and is very ‘self-mocking’. If I am honest the storyline is not what makes this musical great, you could be unaware of the story and still have a great evening thanks to the music and some of the jokes in between the songs. It’s a funny, light-hearted show and if you are expecting this when you go into the theatre you’ll have a fabulous night.

Bea Maynard,
London Theatre4/5
"We Will Rock You: That’s the show's title, the cast's promise. And, they do nothing less. Twenty years after this futuristic masterpiece took to the stage, it continues to wow the crowds in this spectacular production, that is simply magnifico in some places and slightly gaga in others."
Daz Gale,
All That Dazzles3/5
"We Will Rock You may not be the smartest show in the world but it does have a lot going for it. While the book lets it down somewhat, it is salvaged by a truly incredible cast, some stunning moments and, obviously, that iconic Queen songbook. "
Alex Wood,
Whats On Stage3/5
“Let’s face it – no one is expecting We Will Rock You to provide a Pulitzer-winning script or genre-defining creative expertise. But if audiences are there for some Queen classics, sung by the cream of the MT crop, that’s exactly what they’re going to be getting.”

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

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!

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.

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 😍

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.
