I’d seen a good review but it was only 4 stars - it should, in our opinion, have been 5! The dancing is absolutely incredible- beautifully portraying a myriad of emotions with huge energy and sensitivity. Knowing and pre-loving all the music was a plus for us, and to see it brought together in such a poignant and timely depiction of the plight of refugees from war-torn countries was a powerful and unforgettable experience. Bravo to all concerned, and so much respect to the amazing Zoonation dancers. Just Wow!

This show was absolutely amazing. I was in awe of how a story could be portrayed without any words being said (aside from the lyrics of Sting). Very thought provoking and it is clear to see how talented the whole cast are. Absolutely worth a watch, it is a must see and no doubt this show will be famous in months to come!

It’s a gripping and humbling story, set to fantastic music but the choreography and the talent of the dancers is what mesmerises. We were transfixed, uplifted and inspired; so much so that we came twice.

I booked these tickets as my husband liked the music of Sting however he does not like ballet or dance shows. He loved it and couldn't believe how brilliant the dancing was. I would recommend this to anyone whether you like dance or not.

I was overwhelmed by the brilliance of this show. probably the best thing I have seen in ages. The whole cast were amazing, their talent, musicality, acting, physicality and athleticism all came together to give such a fabulous performance. The cast were enhanced by fantastic stage lighting and minimal props. congratulations to all concerned. Of course the music was brilliant and brought back memories.

I can honestly say I have never seen such superb dancing and story telling! From the opening joy of the family all together, through their trials and tragedies and then ultimately their new lives, I was enthralled. I lost count of the amount of times I had chills. The story is so current and real and you felt for them all throughout and the sadness of leaving their homes and being thrust into an "alien" world. And another highlight was recognising Lukas from seeing him triumph in the televised dance competition a few years ago when I absolutely fell in love with his style and expressive face. I must give special mention to the "mother" who was just superb and the young girl playing Lukas's new wife. When he found her again, I just sobbed! And then the ending which after all their sadness, was joyful and a celebration of their family memories. The musical arrangements of Sting's original music were perfect and made me fall in love with his music all over again. If I could, I would come back every night. Words can't express how much I loved every second. Congratulations and thank you for an evening I will never forget.

Not sure what I was expecting but my this show exceeded any expectations I had. The music was fab but then that was why I booked it but the way the dance choreographer used the word of the song to build the story in dance was amazing. I loved every minute of it and do not know how the dancer danced so passionately for the amount of time they were on stage. Fantastic, that is all I have to say and well done to everyone.

A beautiful expression of emotional storytelling through dance and music. Extremely clever body movements corresponding with lyrics, wrapped up in stunning music and stage light projections. Current affairs are creatively portrayed in this is dynamic, must-see theatre performance.

In London for my wife’s birthday. Saw the poster on the underground. Booked it as she loves the music. Didn’t realise it was contemporary dance. Absolutely loved it. What a surprise. Such stamina and beautiful interpretation of the music. We had seen Luzia by Cirque du Soleil the day before and enjoyed this performance just as much.

I’m not normally much of a dance enthusiast, but my wife is a massive fan of Sting and his music, so I thought this might be an interesting event. It was way beyond interesting, it was magnificent. We were enthralled throughout. Lots of reworking of great songs and some outrageous dancing/gymnastics with a powerful and poignant message underlying the whole thing. Absolutely excellent, and I’d recommend it to anyone.
