Opening Night (West End) London Reviews and Tickets

See it if You’re a fan of new musical theatre. If you are it’s well worth the visit, before it unfortunately closes. Not your traditional musical

Don't see it if You don’t like musicals, don’t want to see something about mental health issues, or looking for big production numbers

Don't see it if If you prefer spend your money more wisely. Read more
