Couple予約確認済み2026年6月5/5This was one of the best shows I've seen in the west end! I can't express how incredible the entire cast was! They were all excellent and committed to their roles which helped tell the story. The music and voices of the cast were incredible and seeing it in soho place, which is a smaller venue, made it even more personal. I really liked the touch of adding the video of the real TED talk with William kamkwamba at the end. Plus the women puppetering the dog was great! Would highly recommend this show to others and would love to see it again!MMelike K
