  Amazing performances and a really clever way of representing that story.

  I took my grandson who is almost 15years old to see this-he has many friends and relatives who are neuro-diverse, so though he would find this very interesting and useful. Both he and I loved it all, the lead performance was outstanding and must have been very tiring as he just exuded energy. The set was so clever and it worked well. The other actors played their roles with great enthusiasm and skill. All considering we would be happy to see again or to recommend to others.

  A fabulous production highlighting autism in a very engaging way, there were highs and lows and all emotions and we adored the puppy at the end! Excellent

  I cannot believe you let people take in all this disgusting food and allow them to eat it noisily during the play. It was awful, I could not enjoy the play at all as people around me were slurping slushies, crunching popcorn and making all sorts of noises with paper bags and plastic pots

  Absolutely incredible! I work with children who have additional needs and this is a true insight into what it is like to live with these needs. Emotional, funny and totally captivating!

  Performance highly enjoyable but inadvertently thought this must have been a ‘relaxed’ show. Pleasure seriously marred by * very late arrival of large, noisy school groups (30 minutes + after start of performance * even later arrival of noisy adults * constant noisy sharing of food * crunching of plastic bottles

  Not a show I would have picked but was encouraged to do so. One of the best west end shows on offer. Funny, serious, emotional with a real ahhh factor towards the end. Highly recommend to everyone but warning there are lots of flashing lights.

  Very good choreography and the main character, the boy, was extremely talented.

  It was not my first time but last night didn’t disappoint me, it is an excellent play! There was a small hiccup before entering to the theatre, the queue to collect the tickets were long and we were afraid that we would have missed the beginning of the play. Luckily, everyone was happy but it spoiled a bit the customer experience. Wishing the whole crew the best for the remaining days of the performance.😀

  Loved the show as much as the fantastic book. Took my 12 year old son and husband and they enjoyed it as much as me.

  What an amazing play! A true representation of the book and captured beautifully by wonderful actors who obviously understand the emotion surrounding the characters. Inspirational and a wonderful insight into living with autism. My 12 year old daughter loved it and it was aimed perfectly at adults and young adults. Highly recommended before it leaves the West End.

  From the intriguing yet clever set to the powerful performances, it was a privilege to be in the audience. We were moved to tears but there were plenty of light moments to lift the mood. And we lived it all through the eyes of the inspirational Christopher who truly was brave.

  Whole thing was brilliant from beginning to end. So glad we managed to see it before it finishes at the end of this month. Well worth the journey south!

  I was mesmerised! So immersive. Humorous, poignant, intelligent and dazzling at times! Plenty to think about and reflect on, with performances so compelling that you actually feel you understand the characters. Great acting. Very physical and lively too, which I didn't expect. No time to get bored. I doubt I'll see a show THIS good for several years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds....

  Read the book years ago and loved it. This is the 2nd time I've seen the show with 2 different lead actors. Both are absolutely fantastic. I have worked with autistic young people for almost 18 years and it is so good to see the good, the bad and the ugly sides if it portrayed so well. Totally amazing.

  This production was very well organised , designed and cleverly done! The audience was totally engaged; you could have heard a pin drop during the emotional scenes. Sam Newton was totally convincing and played the role of Christopher perfectly. The ending was emotional and inspirational. This play is not just for those who want to understand the nature of autism better but also for those who like to see the best in everyone. The theatre was comfortable and hospitably staffed with refreshments available to be delivered to your seat.

  Fantastic and deeply moving! We had waited a long time to see it because ticket prices were so expensive. Went with my family as an Easter treat having got reasonably priced tickets. Highly recommend to see if before it finishes.

  So glad we saw this show. Beautiful store and such a unique presentation. Went with my 15 year old son and I think it gave us both a better understanding of kids and families dealing with autism.

  So enjoyed the show, Christopher painted an excellent portrait of life with autism, I saw familiarities in his personality similar to those of my beautiful autistic nephew.. Life can be amazing and scary whoever we are and whatever 'querks' we might be born with.. A triumph.

  I went to see the show with my 13 y.o daughter, we both liked the performance very much. I was a bit concerned about using inappropriate language, but I guess it got accepted everywhere now, including theatre world.

  This review would be five stars were it not for the fact that it was impossible to submerge myself in the excellent production due to extraneous noises from around the theatre. This was a Relaxed Performance. Something new to me and which I will avoid in future.
