Critics' Choice Shows

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.

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.

My wife and I really enjoyed "Moulin Rouge" at the Piccadilly Theatre. It was a magnificent, impressive and emotional performance. The music, visual effects and the talent and skill of the actors were amazing. And what's more, after the performance, as a nice surprise, we had the opportunity to meet the actors, take pictures and get autographs. We definitely recommend this opportunity to everyone - to spend a wonderful evening.

The whole production was amazing, loved it. It was 33 degrees when we went and the temperature inside was well managed as well. Ticket prices a bit OTT but fabulous.

They prefected a craft that was almost non-existent before. The show was breathtaking, and the effects were stunning. The illusion of the ABBAtars worked so well, we felt like we were watching the first screenings of cinema where people panicked and had to run from the train they thought was coming towards them.

The show is truly remarkable, going beyond what I anticipated and profoundly impacting me. The talent on stage is phenomenal, skillfully drawing us into the story and eliciting strong emotions through their performances.
