Thank you everyone for your patience; our website is back up and running. Tickets available for tomorrow's (30th) matinee of The Turn of the Screw, and the rest of our 2018 season!
What a great show! Loved it from the very first minute till the last. Great music, very clever and moving adaptation, amazing performance! Can't recomend enough! And super delitious and beautifully presented drinks by the bar! All and all, thank you!
Went to see Peter Pan and could not have been more blown away. Great performances from all the cast (smashing it despite bring one twin down) and the adaption was incredible - great music and performances I could not recommend it more!
This was my first visit and I couldn't have chosen better :-)
I saw the Matinee performance of Jesus Christ Superstar on 21st September and I was stunned....the acting, the music, the energy, the dancing, the singing, the emotion.....it was all brilliant and I cannot praise this production enough.
I was overwhelmed by it all, but Gethsemane reduced me to an emotional wreck and by the final scenes I was totally wiped out....but all in a very good way of course. I really hope this production comes back next year with the same cast if possible....or at least the same main characters.
Loved every minute and I can't wait to see it all again so please come back soon :-) xx
Set in the heart of Regent's Park, a very special experience that should be on everyone's bucket list. Efficient and friendly box office. Plenty of food and drink facilities, lots of loos and well designed seating. I'll be going again and again. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Peter Pan was outstanding! Get tickets if you can before it closes in Friday. You won’t be disappointed...
Peter Pan performance and stenography were brilliant! And the setting amazing!
On our way home from seeing Peter Pan this evening. A great family show, the set is very clever and a great cast. The puppetry was amazing and added another element to the show. Took children aged 14 and 11 and both really enjoyed the show.
My second time seeing this production of JCSS saw it in '16 and again in '17 both times a matinee... and it's absolutely outstanding!! The entire cast are 5� performers. I was particularly moved by the performance of Declan Bennett (Jesus) in the garden of Gethsemane � Special mention of Tyrone Huntley (Judas) who's performance is fabulous!! If only there were still time to see it again.....
Jesus Christ Superstar is one of my top three musicals, but this is the first time I've seen it live. Everyone was amazing, the choreography and staging were brilliant- my heart was actually pounding during the opening instrumental, I was so excited to see this, and I wasn't let down. =D Thanks so much for putting on such an amazing production!
I´ll remember forever that magic night at Regent´s Park when I watched Jesus Christ Superstar, a play which I know by heart every lyric since I was 14 (58 now...). It was my first trip to Europe, I was by myself, and the whole experience was absolutely magic, as I said. From the beauty of the place, the good vibes from the audience to the easy access it was a perfect night for me (and, of course, the play is unbeatable). Thank you from Brazil guys!
I saw this production last year and didn't think it could get any better, but I was wrong. I've already seen this show 3 times this year and am hoping to fit in a few more visits before it closes. It is like the whole musical theatre world has collided in this show to produce an amazing explosion of greatness: musical numbers, cast, choreography, musicians are all on top form. From the ensemble to main cast members Declan Bennett, Tyron Huntley and David Thaxton to Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice's score through to Drew McOnie's choreography and Tom Deering's musical direction it is all perfection.
I have now seen JCS twice in the past week and I can honestly say it is the best show I have ever seen. The singing was amazing and the choreography sensational. It would not have been the same in an indoor theatre. The atmosphere with an outdoor arena just made it even more magical. Had the champagne hamper the first visit and a burger the second!! This place fits all price brackets with excellent food and really lovely staff. Well done all and will certainly be back in the future.
Great venue, really added to the atmosphere of Jesus Christ Superstar. The performance was wonderful, I really enjoyed the more modern interpretation (updated costumes, contemporary dance and most of the main characters playing instruments as well as singing). Some truly stand out performances through the whole show; Declan Bennett was great as the title character (Gethsemane was a stand out moment in the show), Phillip Browne's bass voice brought Caiaphas brilliantly to life, Sean Kingsley's Annas was delightfully unhinged and David Thaxton as Pontius Pilate was a particular joy to watch and hear. The show stealer though was Tyrone Huntley as Judas. Vocally spot on, he really drew the audience into his torment. Worth going just for him!
Great open air theatre. Plenty of food and drink available to purchase. Was attending ENO The Turn of The Screw - completely captivating.
Brilliant show - went to special sensory performance yesterday with our son and his cousin. Both were enraptured - as were we. Wonderful performances and great support and help with our son. Booking up for rest of season - can't recommend Peter Pan Production highly enough.Lovely food and drink too!
As You Like It was so good! I was worried because it's one of my favorite but the cast definitely did it justice.
Absolutely magical night out. Peter pan was out of this world! �
Terrific ... but dark. The staging is superb
Saw Jesus Christ superstar and my first open air theatre! No places to sit outside the theatre before the show unless you buy very expensive food choices! But the theatre itself was intimate, fab sound and atmospheric with the trees and flashes of thunder in the distance! The sound of some singers did get drowned by the music but I loved it! The seats were snug and I sat arm in arm with my friend so that I wouldn't sit on top of the person next to me! I will pack a blanket next time as I was cold when the wind picked up! But again I loved it!!
