Fantastic theatre, staff and musical! Hercules has some changes to the plot/musical numbers, which was a welcome surprise. It made it feel fresh and worth going out for, as opposed to watching the original film. The cast were brilliant, the muses were a favourite among us and had some amazing scenes and numbers. The outfits were incredible and the use of props and shared scenery for Olympus/Underworld was executed brilliantly. The staff at Drury Lane were all lovely, helpful and polite. The merch on offer wasn't badly priced either, we came away with both programmes and the themed duffle bag. The theatre itself was comfortable and even high up, it was easy to see all the action. It is a beautiful theatre overall too, walking up the stairs to our seats felt amazing. We couldn't have been happier with seeing this event and would absolutely go again!

We went when it was dark. London is so beautiful at night. As we were disabled we were fast tracked so no standing in long queues. Staff were great. Will definitely visit again.

Overall satisfaction from purchase to experience. The price is reasonable. I bought my ticket a day in advance, but there was only one seat left, just for me, so I recommend buying tickets well in advance.

Everything went perfectly! The only thing I would "complain" about is the time. An extra hour would have been more relaxing. Otherwise, it's an unforgettable trip for all ages. A must for all HP fans!

The London Eye was so amazing. What incredible views from the top. Even on an overcast day it is worth the ride. I recommend the priory tickets so you can skip the line. Totally worth it.

We have never seen anything like this on a stage before... The visual effects are absolutely amazing and take your breath away. The storyline is captivating and the performance by the whole cast is incredible. Jack Christou is Henry Creel. You can tell that an actor is amazing when you catch yourself forgetting that you are watching a play and not a real life event. At some point he is coming down from the stage and walks among the crowd and you get the chills. The only thing I can say is BRAVO to everybody involved!

A lovely visit in the sunshine. The crown jewels are amazing, especially with no lines at this time of year. Henry VIII's armor is impressive.
