Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Kyoto at @sohoplace is a surprisingly thrilling ride about a rather unlikely topic for theater. Based on the real-life Kyoto Agreement of 1997 that saw international diplomats, scientists, politicians, and activists from 150 countries band together to act on climate change, this is a play that simmers with tension and quiet emotion, weaving through the political complexities that define how we address global issues. If you're looking for a thought-provoking piece of theatre that stays with you, this might be just the ticket.

4/5

"Kyoto, by Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson, is so indecently entertaining it almost feels like the result of a bet to choose the dullest, worthiest subject imaginable and make it as fun as humanly possible."

5/5

"A play about protocols, punctuation, politics and procedure doesn’t sound like the stuff of dream drama. Yet Kyoto, about the behind-the-scenes battles to create the first global agreement on combating dangerous climate change, is a work of Shakespearean sweep and ambition, an invigorating and challenging piece of political theatre."

David Benedict,

"As urgent and vital as it is, an investigation into international angles on climate change doesn’t sound remotely theatrical, let alone a race-to-the finish thriller. But that is precisely what directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin achieve..."

It's just such an amazing experience seeing this show- the talent of the actors and the stunning voices, and the mindblowing sets - it's a fabulous WestEnd experience! A must see. We were in the Grand Circle - good seats and worth every penny.

Mamma Mia!

Experience
Angelina Abramova
From the very first notes, Mamma Mia! created an atmosphere that was pure joy. It felt less like watching a show and more like being part of a shared celebration. The cast delivered not only strong vocals, but real warmth and humor, making the characters feel alive and relatable. One unforgettable moment was when the entire theatre seemed to come alive during the big ensemble numbers — hands clapping, laughter bubbling up, and that unmistakable feeling of collective happiness. I was even crying! It was one of those performances where you walk out lighter than you walked in, still humming the songs and carrying the joy with you long after the curtain call.

This was phenomenal! The seat was quite nice, even though it was marked as tight legroom, I felt like I had enough space. The old theater environment elevated the atmosphere and made it feel very fancy. The set and performance was spectacular. I am so glad I saw this production!

The theatre has been beautifully renovated recently. It's spacious and the seats comfortable. The show it self was energetic and more than I had expected, with puns, jokes and the singing on point.

An absolutely incredible show! Come Alive is an immersive experience from start to finish: spectacular staging, amazing performers, an electric atmosphere, and top-notch organization.
