Wonderville: Theatre Review | Magic and Cabaret in the West End

Hot on the heels of a season at the Palace Theatre last year, the Wonderville journey continues. 

Located on Haymarket, just a stone’s throw from the Piccadilly Circus, discover an evening of magic and delight.

Guided by the glamorous Chastity Belt and the extraordinary Desmond O’connor, get ready to be thrust through round after round of performances that will ignite your imagination and expand your wonder.

Wonderville has a rotating roster of fabulous performers. The show opened with a dazzling hula hoop act from Amazi Hoops before moving into Billy Kid’s magical realm and more. Short intervals break up three thirty minute slots, allowing the audience to come back to their senses (and the bar). 

With a flair of cabaret and magic, the performers break barriers by pulling audience members out of their seats and into the spotlight to amaze everyone lucky enough to not get hand picked for the chopping block.

As more and more prosecco is washed down the acts become evermore incredible. Prepare for inhuman acts of sword swallowing and card tricks that will leave you absolutely dumbfounded.

The grand finale was none other than Britain’s Got Talent’s Matricks Illusion. Whilst they end the night with an electrifying act, the showstoppers of the night were the drunken antics of Abi Collins or Aurora Starr as she defied gravity swinging and spinning above the unlucky table 13 who’d been hastily booted out of the way.

Wonderville is a fun filled, bohemian style show that is ideal for couples on a date night or maybe as a group planning a big night out. The intimate setting of the venue really pulls on the allure of London’s world famous West End.

With a short run from 9th August to 30th October, it will definitely leave you begging for more.

Book yourself some tickets before it’s too late.
