    The three actors were absolutely incredible, conveying their characters' emotions meaningfully. I feel very privileged to have seen their performance. Having watched Heartstopped, I was very excited to see Joe Locke perform.

    how chaotic it was. I mean I laughed for 2 hours straight. I'm an international student at The University of Surrey in my first year. So leaving home and being alone is something new. So I wanted to plan a one day solo trip to London. I am a musical theatre kid but for some reason this play spoke to me. And it made me laugh so much and feel so good that it got my mind of the being alone in a new place. I 100% recommend it and will come back for the Christmas one!
