It’s pretty gloomy and dark, and there are a few quite violent scenes with blood and flashes…so it defo isn’t the most young teen friendly show. But then it really depends if they’ve been exposed to theatre like that before.

Thanks so much for checking it out and leaving a comment! ☺️ what did you think of the play?

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial It was very interesting, i really loved the style, the actors and everything, I just really struggled with the shakespeare english, as english is my second language. But of course I knew the story and everything beforehand, so I could still figure out what's going on

She was so good! 😍 there are some speculations that it might go to Broadway after this so keep an eye out if that’s closer to you!

YESSS! That’s what I’m talking about - happened to me too with box tickets. There are defo tickets being returned every day, it’s all about catching them at the right moment. So excited for you to go and see it, especially since you enjoyed Sunset Boulevard! ☺️ looking forward to hearing what you think of it! And thank you for your kind words and checking out my review! 🙏🏻

Ahh sorry you had to go through that experience unprepared. It was quite an underwhelming show and I totally agree with you that the misogynistic narrative was so off-putting.

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial Being unprepared for a show usually gives me the best, most fresh experience until this one taught me a lesson. I was struggling in act 2, expecting a plot twist, and turned out this show was just a dreadful experience that took me over two hours :( Thankfully I was healed by Matilda and Hadestown the next day. I still believe West End stands for masterpieces, hope the company can take a good break and start their new journey soon

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! ☺️ it’s a pretty small theatre for the production of this calibre, and yes - the fans definitely stuck around to see Tom. Do you plan to go see the play?

Oh wow! That’s a commitment! ☺️ I hope you enjoy it. I also had a slightly restricted view so needed to lean forward a bit but it was still amazing to be there and see it! Will you be seeing any other shows on the West End?

Yes, I am a fan of the musical Moulin Rouge. ;) I saw it already on Broadway with Aaron Tveit, and on West End with Jamie Muscato. Very curious how the current cast is.

@@bluedolph1n that’s great! I haven’t seen the new cast of Moulin Rouge so let me know how you like it! ☺️ and enjoy your trip to London! 🇬🇧

Thanks so much! ☺️ so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed it! We didn’t need to wait too long…I feel like I got out of the theatre and maybe within the next 10-15 minutes, he was out. But I feel I was slow to get out of the theatre. If you’d like to see him afterwards and get a good spot, you’d probably need to leave during the curtain call.

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial thanks Kristina, will see how we go at the end, no biggy if we miss him leaving, but love the spectacle of a big star in town haha. Seeing the show this Fri, and have loved Jamie Lloyd productions in the past, so very excited.

@@stuartclark3182 ah amazing! Let me know what you think of it ☺️ and hope you get to see him!

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial we got to see him leaving, exactly as u said didn’t need to wait long. There is such a buzz & the air is electric. I loved the show, but Jamie Lloyd can do no wrong imo 😂 can see why it has polarizing opinions tho.

Haha for sure, definitely making more people go to the theatre cause of him! ☺️

Wait how is he making I would assume he’s making ruffly that much including merch

YESSSSSS ☺️ it’s a sold out play running in London until August but there are some rumours it might go to Broadway afterwards! So he’ll be playing Romeo for some time!

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial I heard it was a movie. That's why I am a bit confused 🤦‍♀️😅😅

@@hlubideetz7614 haha that would totally make sense tbh! This is his return to the West End - the first time since he was in Billy Elliot when he was a kid. 😍so pretty special!

​@hlubideetz7614 yeh unfortunately some industry publications on twitter "announced" that he would be starring in a new production of R&J and as usual nobody read the actual article that stated it would be a west end play. Cue loads of tweets of people complaining about remakes and not needing another film and the cast etc. All for a play they had no chance of seeing anyway. A similar thing happened again with a Broadway version with Camila starring in it... people still think that's a film too.

Thank you so much for checking it out and leaving such a lovely comment. ☺️ I’m really happy to hear you’ve enjoyed it.

Thank you SO MUCH! This means the world 🥰❤️ so happy to hear you are enjoying them!

Ahh that’s amazing! So glad you hear you’ve enjoyed the play. It was pretty special. ☺️ thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏻

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial Thank you for your kind response 😀

☺️🙏🏻

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial 🙏

8 plays in 6 days? That sounds incredible! What else did you see? ☺I'm so glad to hear that you've enjoyed this show! It is pretty impressive and a good (albeit long) watch!

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial I miscounted--I saw nine in total, some by myself, most with the group. Opening Night (Sheridan Smith was a revelation--I didn't know who she was--but the play was a mess) Guys and Dolls (outstanding), Hadestown (almost outstanding), London Tide (major disappointment because I'm a Dickens scholar), The Mousetrap (for the third time, because it's a great example of that kind of play), The Divine Mrs. Siddons (okay), Standing at the Sky's Edge (it didn't work for me, but most of my group loved it), Player Kings (Ian McKellen was fantastic and Joheeb Jimoh held his own with Sir Ian), and Nye (a riveting play about the founding of the National Health Service--yes, it was). This was my fifth trip with a group from Portland. Nothing this trip, however, compared with The Ferryman, which was probably the best play I have seen in ten years--pre-COVID I was seeing about 50 a year.

@@cwilson284 that’s absolutely incredible! You’ve seen some fantastic shows and some that are less so - Opening night has been widely considered a flop! Ahh The Ferryman was one for a kind, such powerful storytelling! Hope you come to London again to enjoy the West End! ☺️

It's soooo good, isn't it! 😍 glad to hear you feel inspired to see it again, it's totally worth it! Hope you get to see it again before it closes. 😊

I see what you mean given the choreography and scale of the set but I didn’t have an issue with it. It almost felt like an extension of the theatre as it’s a newer theatre so I really liked it. I’m also planning to see Hamilton again and Quiet Uptown is one of my favourite songs ever, can’t go through it without crying 🥹

Honestly, I was super impressed as you can tell from the video! Looked and sounded great in my opinion. 🙂

Sorry to hear you haven’t enjoyed my review. Don’t think your interpretation of what I said is quite correct - I said that the movie was another dramatisation of the same historical event and that the most roles in the musical were gender reversed/neutral - as in women were playing men and vice versa. And then Hamilton reference was just my personal observation…I think it’s quite apparent that I’ve enjoyed this musical very much and I included it in multiple best to see round-ups so sorry if that didn’t come across when you watched it. Either way, we are all allowed to have our personal opinions and preferences. 😊

Fortunately for everyone who planned to see it later in the year…

Glad I could help! I think it's definitely worth seeing but as you say - due to a lot of camera work involved, you will be able to see ok even if further away as long as you don't have major obstructions in front of you. Let me know if you go and see it what you think of it! ☺

I haven’t…should I!? 😂 is it worse than the musical?

Thank you for watching and commenting, Richard!☺glad to hear I'm not the only one who has reservations about this kind of play. And thanks for noticing! I'm still buzzing about it - it's a big milestone! Also, have taken your suggestion onboard and have amended - let's see if it helps! 😊

Really well said and totally agree - thank you for sharing your thoughts! The play in its essence is pretty monotonous, emphasising mundane aspects of life and challenges of family relationships so I think it definitely needed something more interesting to elevate the pace and characters. She was great, I've just found this kind of character quite repetitive and similar to some other ones I've seen so couldn't really resonate with it much.

Thanks for sharing this extra context - that's good to know! It's a truly fascinating story so no doubt a few different creatives were interested in it!

It's more from the perspective of what to expect as when I went to see the play I couldn't find much about it since it's so new, and honestly I didn't know it will be that heavy.

Ah I love that you managed to find some positives, even if it's simply the venue cause I do agree with you - it's a gorgeous theatre! As for the musical...I do agree with you. Such a shame!

😬😬 I don’t blame you. It was hard to get into it.

Thank you! Glad you agree ☺️ feel like that’s something it could be easy to follow for everyone as it’s so well known!

I’m so glad you liked it! 😊 I agree that Phantom is definitely a bit more glamorous but went for Les Miz cause the movie was pretty popular when it came out so thought more people might have seen it. Totally agree tho, a great show to see! 👌🏻 and great suggestions! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and commenting. ☺️☺️

I would agree with you - this wasn’t my favourite play…it kind of didn’t leave me with a strong impression. But also, I didn’t hate it either. It had some interesting parts. I guess Death was a looming presence as that was something everyone felt during the pandemic so maybe that’s the reason why all characters developed some sort of relationship with it as a consequence. But yes, I wish this had something more to give.

Those are some pretty good prices, thanks for sharing. I personally struggled to book Cabaret for under £60 and Moulin Rouge for under £50 when I went to see it last year and the year before that. I think it’s definitely possible to get cheaper tickets overall but this is more of a guidance and comparison with Broadway. I haven’t included rush or lottery tickets which are cheaper as you can’t really buy those unless you get lucky. Probably the most fair comparison would be to take the averages throughout the year but that can also fluctuate. 😊

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ oh no! Someone else in the comments said that too - I haven’t had that issue as I was further away in the grand circle, I think. They gotta sort that smoke out.

I was in Row D last night - genuinely nauseous by the end of Act 3, between the heat and the herbal cigarette smoke - I was worried I was just being dramatic!

@@seanoneill2541 nope you weren't being dramatic at all. It was a lot‼️

Hey Martin! Glad you enjoyed the show. It’s a bit unfair to say I was negative, in fact I started with positives so…if you watched the video till the end you’d probably see that I said I’m sad I didn’t enjoy this show. We are all allowed to have our opinions. 😊

She’s hardly the only one who disliked it. You might be the only true believer. It’s widely considered a major flop.
