Wonderful show. We love musicals and have been to several, but this one is our favorite. The sets, the costumes, the music, the choreography, just wonderful.

Easy ticketing system, received the electronic tickets quickly, with a QR code to be read at the entrance. No need for printing.
The show was outstanding - great concept and performances. Tickets were excellent though I wish there was a centre aisle in the Piccadilly Theatre.
It was a small theater, cozy atmosphere. Super show with good cast and especially the singing of the lead actors was very good!
