What an incredible show from start to finish. The history and context behind the show mixed in with r&b and hip hop music have it such a unique blend. Not only that, the story telling behind it all was amazing. We sat in the second row, and it was a lovely experience to be up close to the characters and stage, the decor and props were beautiful to look that. I'd highly recommend giving this show a watch, it's funny, interesting and has a great plot twist!

The atmosphere was fantastic. I was there to celebrate my niece's 50th birthday. She was so excited to see this wonderful and historical show. We laughed, cried, and sang along to all the wonderful songs. Such a magical night in London and a very memborable birthday for my niece.

Brilliant! This show just keeps getting better every time I see it. I’ve now seen it three times , twice in Australia and to see it at The Prince of Wales theatre was a dream! It never fails to deliver. Absolutely hilarious. The cast were fantastic, the leads were amazing. I’ll definitely be back for a forth show!

An absolutely unforgettable experience. The atmosphere inside the theatre was magical from the moment the music began. The performances were powerful and emotional, with stunning vocals and dramatic staging. The chandelier scene was breathtaking and gave me chills. A must-see show that completely lives up to the hype.

Giselle by Akram Khan was unforgettable because it reimagined a classical ballet with extraordinary emotional power and contemporary relevance. Khan transformed the familiar story into a raw, human experience, using movement that felt both grounded and explosive. The dancers’ physicality—sharp, weighted, and deeply expressive—made every emotion visible, from love and betrayal to grief and revenge. The performance stood out for its haunting atmosphere. The stark, industrial set and the rhythmic, almost ritualistic score created a world that felt oppressive and fragile at the same time, drawing the audience into Giselle’s inner life. Akram Khan’s choreography blended classical ballet with contemporary and kathak influences, giving the story a new voice while respecting its roots. What truly made the event unforgettable was the emotional impact. Giselle’s journey was not just watched but felt; her vulnerability and strength lingered long after the curtain fell. The production challenged expectations, pushed boundaries, and proved how a well-known classic can still feel urgent, modern, and profoundly moving.
