It was a birthday present for my 15 year old daughter who is a fan of Hamilton, we went from Spain just to see the musical. It was really spectacular, the workers of the place and especially the merchandising girls, who had a great detail with my daughter, since the cards did not work because of the blackout that we suffered in Spain the day before and we only had cash. She could not buy anything in the store but she will never forget the musical. Thank you for making us spend an unforgettable time.

The show was absolutely amazing! I've listened to the music for 6.5 years and I was afraid actually seeing the show wouldn't live up to my expectations, but it FAR exceeded them! Had tears streaming down my face the entire time XD I also came in a wheelchair but didn't buy a wheelchair accessible ticket. The man who helped me get refreshments and merch was extremely accommodating and very nice! My seat was Stalls G6
  • One of the earliest types of entertainment is theatre. Theatre has been performed for roughly 2,500 years. It has changed shape and form over the years and is now regarded as performance art, with various other kinds of acts on stage taken together. London’s West End, a nerve-center of theatre, has some of the longest-running shows in the world. If you are in London, catching one of the longest-running West End shows is an experience you must have.
  • Theatre has its roots in religious acts that required spectators to march in processions or fast. The theatre as we know it today is essentially different. It’s a form of entertainment and, thus, it must keep pace with the world. Not all shows survive for long. It is a huge feat that the longest-running West End shows have managed to keep the attention of viewers for decades. For example, The Mousetrap, an Agatha Christie murder mystery that has been performed for over 70 years, has by far had the longest run at the West End.
