We booked the 2:30 pm performance and we can definitely say it was one of the best showcases we have ever seen. The staging and props were extremely life-like and impressive and the costumes also looked really nice. The performers were so talented and their voices were outstanding. The leading lady especially blew us away with her voice and stage presence and the whole cast sounded really good together. The song choices were a nice mixture of beloved classics combined with modern music that everyone in the audience danced to during the musical. Also it is worth noting that the dialogue was easy to understand for any non-native speakers. Overall a 10/10 experience, we highly recommend it!!! :)

I was deeply moved by the performances; from the very first moment they connected incredibly with the audience. The staging is spectacular, with stunning sets, dazzling costumes and a perfect coordination between music, dance and performance. The selection of songs and their adaptations are very successful and make everything seem real. It touched me so much that I was thrilled. I especially highlight Satine and Christian's performances, which were magnificent. Come What May was one of the most special moments of the night. I recommend it 100%.

It is the second time Ihave been to see this Musical in 4 weeks. I love the setting in the Piccadilly Theatre as if in the Moulin Rouge itself. The performers are top rate creating a wonderful atmosphere and best of all is the music with well known songs instead of made up songs which can be boring. My favourite Musical to date.
