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..."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
Wayne E Watson
Sets were incredible. The voice were stupendous. The acting was off the chart wonderful. Pure acting and singing talent. We sat in royal balcony and the view was fantastic. We look forward to returning to London and seeing another production at the Piccadilly Theatre. (One recommendation would be to include on the website some recommended parking garages for those of us coming from out of town in vehicles.) love love loved it!!!

Experience
Rachel Mayes
The Play That Goes Wrong was absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed so much in ages. The cast were fantastic and I loved the interaction they had with the audience. I particularly liked the mispronounced words and the visual humour.

Hamilton

Experience
Monika Sonta
An amazing show in a beautiful venue! Hamilton absolutely delivers – brilliant music, powerful choreography, and incredible energy from the cast throughout. The show is clearly physically demanding, especially for the dancers, who brought nonstop intensity and precision to every scene. Victoria Theatre is the perfect setting – elegant, well-maintained, and full of atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience. And a special shoutout to the King – absolutely hilarious and a true highlight of the night! Definitely a must-see – unforgettable from start to finish!
