11 of us went for a good night out ! We have amazed by the performance. Full of joy , energy and style. It's about Gauthier' story but told with the outfits he has created. This show reminds us that if Jean-Paul Gauthier does belong to everyone and is a major character of pop culture, he is also and first of all, a high profile artist with a sincere message of tolerance that embraces diversity. 11 of us went for a WONDERFUL night out! Thank you.

What a night, the story of JPG's rise to fame and the difficulties along the way. I wasn't sure what to expect but it didn't disappoint, the performers were incredible and the costumes and choreography superb. The woman singing had a fantastic voice and the background projections really made an impact. I didn't expect it to be so raunchy, fortunately my 19 year old granddaughter and her friend were not too embarrassed watching this with me!

It is very hard to review a show that we couldn't go due to illness. I tried to exchange for another day ( I even suggested 2 different available seat options), but missed the 48 hours exchange deadline by 57 minutes (Sent: 11 August 2022 15:27 for a 13August 14:30). But I had a reply in half hour from Ingresso Customer Services, reminding me that 'rules are rules' and no exchange possible. Very disappointed to have missed the trip to London and the show.

A marvellous burlesque circus documenting some 40 years of fashion & culture. I hope that younger audience members or those who missed the fashion revolution from 70’-200s will enjoy even if they don’t get all the reference points and personalities. The costumes were magnificent (of course!) and the video brilliant. Music too. Could watch again and again! I just missed not seeing it with my old fashion chums.

Such an amazing original show. Hugely talented and beautiful dancers, excellent 90s tunes, wonderful outfits, catwalk on steroids - delivered with humour and a Parisian sophistication. A must-see

The most incredible I’ve seen thus far! Performers were truly phenomenal. It’s just that riiight at the end when we’re supposed to get the finale, the show paused for something like 15 minutes, where two staff members got on stage and told us about the tech issue… the second person even said don’t worry “we didn’t miss much” and to “just use your imagination” when they couldn’t execute the final finale scene… we didn’t get any compensation whatsoever so that wasn’t the best experience.

The show was overall really good although the sound needed some adjusting - the vocals were sometimes REALLY loud to the point that it would decrease the sound quality of it and literally hurt my hears lol

I did not know what to expect when I came along to the show. Perhaps a fashion show! I must admit the first part of the show I was not comfortable with and thought I would leave during interval but as show went on I was drawn into it and found it very enjoyable. By the end of the show I was hooked and had an amazing time. Would like to see it again
