My daughters knew nothing about the Phantom of the Opera so it was fun watching their faces and body language as the emotions of each moment played out. We all loved the richness of the costumes and set designs. My husband and I saw the opera in Vancouver many years ago and I fought hard not to cry as I remembered singing the duets with him for months afterward. The Phantom's beautiful lingering "love me" broke my reserve. Losing your love is just like that moment! I'm crying as I write.

The seats selected had restricted view. This was NOT a surprise as the booking made this quite clear. The benefit was that it was five seats in a row at the back. As I have mobility issues this was perfect A young lady called I think Mia went above and beyond in assisting me to get to the toilet and access the seats. I hope this message is communicated to her

This version of R&J is just incredible!! The theater itself is really beautiful. The show was really special and the atmosphere just perfect. And the cast was obviously really really great with Sadie Sink, Noah Juoe and Clark Gregg.

I had my doubts before coming, but time flew by while watching the show. I wondered how 2.5 hours would pass, but the flow of the scene and the actors' performances were very impressive. As an architect, I was fascinated by the stage design and technology. Definitely on the must-do list in London.

The set design is meticulously crafted, and the performers are exceptionally talented in both acting and singing. Rhythm, movement, and enchantment. A story brought to life in a captivating way.

Going in I expected to love Oliver the main character as I assumed he would get most of the songs so I was delighted to see chorus songs like Oompa pa, I shall scream Mr Bumble and It's Your Funeral. The feeling of the show changes so many times and it feels like such a journey. Fagin was also outstanding, Simon Lipkin was such a physical actor and had his mannerisms well tuned. I can't wait to come back.

Oliver!
