Beautiful clean well maintained theatre with comfortable seats, the show was spot on for the storyline and the acting was 10/10. The actors and actresses gave a glorious performance with crystal clear loud voices. Each one embraced their character without hesitation and left us wanting more. Loved that the theatre opened early to avoid traditional long ques. Highly recommended and would definitely attend again!

The Devil Wears Prada was just great. The actors are so talented. I liked the fact I was hearing Elton John's music. Loved the whole vibe.

It really was a great evening! The whole presentation was beautifully designed, the actors were incredible! Great songs, perfectly sung, great stage design. I was there with my friend's 16-year-old daughter and she was also thrilled. And for me, who knew the movie from my youth, it was really exciting to dive back into the story in a different way. Much of the story was 1:1, here and there a lot of things were different again. I really recommend the show :)

Few musicals can claim the kind of timeless magic that Les Misérables delivers night after night, but seeing it live is a reminder of why it has remained one of the most celebrated productions in theatre history. From the first notes of the overture to the final, heartbreaking moments, the performance was nothing short of breathtaking — a masterclass in storytelling, music, and emotional depth. What struck me immediately was the sheer power of the score. Even for those familiar with the iconic songs, there’s something uniquely stirring about hearing them performed live. “I Dreamed a Dream” was delivered with such raw vulnerability that the theatre seemed to hold its breath. “On My Own” carried a haunting, intimate quality, while “Do You Hear the People Sing?” erupted with an energy that sent shivers through the audience. The orchestra’s precision and richness elevated every moment, allowing the music to weave seamlessly with the drama on stage. The cast was extraordinary, each member embodying their role with depth and authenticity. Jean Valjean’s journey was portrayed with remarkable intensity, capturing both his moral struggles and his unwavering humanity. Javert provided the perfect counterpoint, his rigid sense of justice clashing with Valjean’s compassion in ways that felt both epic and deeply personal. The supporting characters, from the heartbreaking Fantine to the fiery Enjolras and the mischievous Thénardiers, were all delivered with a balance of nuance and passion that made the world of the story feel vividly alive. The staging and set design were equally impressive. The revolving stage, so iconic to Les Misérables, was used with masterful precision, giving the story a cinematic flow. Scene transitions felt fluid, almost effortless, drawing the audience deeper into the unfolding drama. The barricade sequences were particularly striking, combining scale and intimacy to capture both the grandeur of revolution and the human cost at its core. Lighting played a vital role too — subtle shifts in colour and shadow mirrored the emotional journey of the characters, amplifying key moments with understated brilliance. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was the emotional impact. Les Misérables is not just a musical; it is an exploration of love, sacrifice, justice, and redemption. The themes resonate across time and culture, and the production captured this universality with grace. By the finale, it was impossible not to feel moved — many around me were wiping away tears, united in the shared experience of something profoundly human. What distinguishes this production is its ability to balance spectacle with intimacy. Yes, it is grand and sweeping, filled with soaring choruses and dramatic battles, but it is also deeply personal. At its heart, it is a story about people — their struggles, their dreams, their resilience — and that is what lingers long after the curtain falls. Leaving the theatre, I felt both exhilarated and reflective. Les Misérables had not only entertained me; it had stirred something deeper. It is a rare production that can transport, challenge, and move its audience so completely. For anyone who has yet to experience it live, Les Misérables is not simply a musical — it is an essential theatrical experience, one that will stay with you long after the final note fades.

I watched Moulin Rouge when it came out all those years ago. I was delighted with the sets; the red curtains, blue elephant and the Indian saree drapes. That view of Montemarte and the Eiffel Tower from Satine's window and her entry into the musical, much anticipated and just as spectacular as in the movie the music was refreshingly different and at the same time they kept so many of the best pieces. My 14 year daughter loved the cancan performances, the moving sets and the over all glamour. Our favourite day in London on this vacation.

Wonderful experience! That's how you're supposed to watch Moulin Rouge ! Even though we did not have the best seats in the house, it was a marvel to watch, and a journey from beginning to end. I went with my dad, and, having grown up with the movie Moulin Rouge because it's one of his favorite movie of all time, we knew the original songs by heart, but we were happily surprised to discover that new songs had been added and it was wonderful. 100% recommend ❤️

I took my mum as we have both watched the movie several times. It was brilliant and I can't fault the actors at all. The humour with the play definitely uplifted the whole atmosphere of the play. We sat at the back of the royal circle & it was difficult to see certain parts of the play but I know for next time to try and get a front seat. It was very emotional and I cried at the end. You could definitely feel how phantom felt having his heart broken by a woman he loved. Would recommend to anyone (who have watched the film at least). 5 STARS 🌟
