Their voices were amazing!! And the special effects were great too! Could really feel the dragon rumble, even at the very back which we were. Still had a great experience and could see everything from our seats which were second to the very back row. The seats were great considering the price; I would like to see it again but from a lot closer just for the full full full effect. Would highly recommend the show and the seats ☺️👍🏼

This is the 2nd time in 10 years that I've seen Les Misérables again, and despite the change of production, the quality of this show, the incomparable talent of all the artists and the superb staging in magnificent settings make it an exceptional moment that thrills the entire theater. Don't miss it!

This is my 2nd time watching Hamilton, I love it so much that I brought my son with me this time. It was amazing! 🤩 The Actors and their portrayal of the characters are splendid! Even the backup actors/dancers/singers are awesome! This play by Lin-Manuel Miranda is fantastic! It tells you about History and it entertains as well. I love Headout! I bought my entertainment tickets from Headout in this holiday. It's fast, reliable, paper free, and quick booking.

Book Tickets to Longest-Running West End Shows in London

It has changed shape and form over the years and is now regarded as performance art, with various other kinds of acts on stage taken together.
