Drama shows in London

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.

The entire show: music, costumes, storyline etc. the main characters performance was astonishing. I was pleasantly surprised with Vanessa Williams

Talented actors, meticulous set design, costumes that are works of art... all accompanied by music of the highest caliber... an unmissable experience! I also really appreciated the merchandise and some elements scattered around the theater for taking souvenir photos.

The musical was amazing, the atmosphere was incredible. The actors we're so good that i forgot we we're in a theater. The musicians we're also really good !! It was a great experience

Everything was beyond perfect...the music, the actors, the atmosphere. I really wish I can come back, once again. It's so worth it.

It is an old theater but beautiful and full of history. The planning and execution for this performance was flawless. The sets moved and shifted to enlarge the stage and enhance the story. I would highly recommend seeing this before it is gone.

The theater is incredibly evocative, pervaded by a magical atmosphere that harks back to a bygone era. The play was sublime! The performances of the main actors were masterful... especially the actress who plays young Joyce and the actor who plays Henry, who managed to flawlessly embody the characteristics of the characters they portray! I highly recommend this experience!

Set in the County Hall it was like stepping into a real courtroom. The lighting and props added to this authenticity. Loved the fact that part of the audience became jurors. Well acted, kept you guessing till the end and the set changes were very creative. Fantastic night out.
