The rich ambiance of the London Coloseum, in combination with excellent dancing and music by the National Ballet, was what made the show memorable. The photo shows us settling in a New Years Eve matinee performance. December 31st, 2024.

The performance was incredible. It was a surprise to recall the tickets had been purchased back in Apr24 for a Jan25 performance. The theatre is beautiful & the seats we had in row C of the balcony allowed us to see the complete stage. Even if you did think you might fall over the edge! Seats are rigid backs & very upright. There's a lift which is nicer than the stairs to the balcony. A beautiful evening.

The wonderful and elaborate stage set in a historic building and the highly professional dancers. It was especially nice that the youngsters were involved as little sweeties. Simply fantastic.
