Spectacular show! Stunning puppetry, artistic interpretation, costumes & set design. Wonderful acting.

I was so curious as to how the book would be interpreted and represented as a play. Done with inspiration. Puppets amazing and sets and scenes done so cleverly.

Incredibly imaginative stage design - transforming a bare hospital room into a lively colourful Indian zoo, a cargo ship in a storm, a life boat on the open sea. Brilliant puppertry that brought the animals to life.

Did not disappoint. Lead actor excellent ad brilliant puppetry. Enjoyable for any age group. Brilliant set design.

Superb effects and acting

Very disappointing, 10 out 10 for effort however found very difficult to follow

An excellent show in all respects. The agility of the players was remarkable, particularly the animal activators. The animal models were fantastic! Bring binoculars to get close up to the action and see the detail on the tiger. Must see!,

Fantastic story that was brilliantly adapted for the stage from the book.

This show is the best I have seen in a long,long time! Everything about it was amazing,the staging, the costumes, the puppetry, the latest technology and of course the wonderful wonderful storytelling. I have never before seen actors and puppeteers so intertwined all skillfully taking on the role of both actor and puppeteer. The whole production was truly dazzling and inspirational, I would love to see it all again!

Acting, puppetry, story-line and effects all first class in the magical atmosphere of an intimate theatre. Loved it.

A heartwarming performance with depth and emotion. Pi’s character was endearing and inspirational. The props and special effects were truly top class. A wonderfully entertaining evening in the company of true professionals, thank you!

We knew the story and I was sceptical about it being convincing....but I was soon drawn into the magical way it was performed. Simplicity in places was so apt. All over too soon as far as we were concerned. Tube strike made our journeys terrible but we were pleased the show was more than worth it. Actors seemed to enjoy themselves too. Don't miss it!

A very enjobale show with excellent animations

Absolutely beautiful from start to finish. We loved the set and puppetry especially.

This is an absolute must see show. The actors work hard to tell the story and to stay true to the book. The puppetry is just wonderful - for this alone the show rates 5 stars. And the staging is just immense. I am in awe of the whole production - full of colour, vibrancy, surprises and hope, beautifully presented by a fine cast and crew.

Deep, had broken story.

Everyone knows in advance about the puppetry but the superlative stage design and lighting effects were also unbelievably good. I especially liked the sea and fishes.

This production was brilliantly done - great acting, creative choreography,clever special effects and heartfelt telling of a story. We would definitely recommend others to go and enjoy the play.

The animations, Props etc we’re all fantastic, so real, I’d love to know how it was created. So very enjoyable.

One of, if not the best stage show I have had the pleasure to watch

We’ve just had our minds blown away by the stage version of ‘The Life of Pi’. Acting, lighting, effects and puppetry were all outstanding. Yet again this story moves, intrigues, and inspires. we’ve read the book, seen the film and now watched the play. And each version has uncovered the strory’s beautiful truths a little more. The play was utterly incredible. I even felt empathy for the animals. If you get the chance to see it, DO SO! It’s one of those life stories and one of those plays you will never forget - it will stay with you and remind you of the human strengths of facing your fears, doing what you feel is right for you - and never giving up in the face of adversity. It’s also about so much more. ❤️

Wonderful story telling and a feast for the senses

The best show I have seen in years. Truly captivating

Very enjoyable show.

I love puppets and the ones in this show are spectacular especially the tiger of course. Not really suitable for young children because of scary content. The actor playing Pi gave his all in a very demanding,physical role.

The show truly was transporting and magical. Definitely recommend watching from the H row of seats, its very high up but felt like the perfect view!

Very colourful. Lifelike puppets that were made very well. Excellent acting. Pi was brilliant and so natural.

Great story as well as amazing acts from the performers. A must see for anyone interested in theatre.

Incredible staging and acting. The philosophical nature of the written story is lost in the masterful puppetry and gripping momentum of this 2-hour theater show, but it’s nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolutely amazing performance!!! Pi and Richard Parker were incredible

Must see !

My advice to everyone is BOOK, you really don't want to miss this show, the costumes are amazing, the cast are brilliant, the show is just superb.

Very impressive and enjoyable

Majestic puppetry & performance! Highly recommended for young children and adults. Tickled all emotions.

Imaginative use of space, objects and puppetry to create fantastical scenes with animals and boats

The show was well worth watching. The puppetry was excellent and the special effects excellent. Loved the humour too.

Totally captivated by Life of Pi - we actually cried at the end. Awesome production and the actor who played Pi was outstanding.

Well acted, especially the actor playing Pi. Loved the animals.

The animals were so well done that the puppet masters were mostly invisible. They worked hard at making all movements very lifelike. The technology of the projections, the lighting and the sound effects totally engulfed you into the action of the story.

Very enjoyable, engaging throughout. Unexpectedly humorous. Suitable for families but not young children - some scenes with the “animals” could be upsetting. Great animation/puppetry.

Main character really strong so the rest of the cast and the puppeteers…

I enjoyed the original book and film . The show did not disappoint. My friend was not aware of ‘Life of Pi’ but throughly enjoyed the story and theatre experience .

Absolutely fantastic.

Had a fantastic time watching the play. It had me engaged the whole time and though it was a sad story loved the comedy element in it. The theatre experience was very informal. Would have been nice to know how long the intermission was. Aside from that it uplifted my mood and made a great day out.

We loved it , thank you all for such great entertainment!£

The theatre was a bit humid. It is a small theatre with cramped seats do definitely need to be cooler.

Wonderful acting V vivid Thought I would get wet! Lovely story Loved the puppetry Lead actor brillant

Absolutely excellent in every way. Great cast, story told really well. So glad we went.

it was incredible. So much energy and action. Pi was brilliant the changes of set were mesmerising the animals were portrayed with immense skill I was overwhelmed

I loved the book and the movie, but the West End play Life of Pi is another level altogether. Amazing puppetry, lighting, music and acting brings to life the story of a boy and tiger learning to coexist on a lifeboat adrift at sea. So moving!

A fantastic creative and stunning performance

This is a wonderful theatrical experience, I am a huge theatre fan and attend performances at least twice a month. The 'Life of Pi' sets are amazing, clever and inventive enhanced by incredibly skilled lighting and visuals. It is always hard to translate an iconic book like 'Life of Pi'across to theatre, television or cinema and something is bound to be lost in the process. By enlarge this was a successful transfer, what was lost in the narrative was compensated for by the enormity of the vision and the total success of the sets and puppetry. At times the acting was somewhat wooden and stilted, I am not a fan of 'blind casting' and for me the insertion of white actors as Indians was jarring and unnecessary, however that aside it is certainly a production that I am very glad I did not miss.

Such a wonderful show

Truly mesmerising. Pi is outstanding and the puppetry masterful. Lighting, set and special effects creative genius. Pure brilliance at every level.

I read the book. I saw the film. But, this performance truly brought this wonderful story to life. The actors were uniformly excellent but the puppets and puppeteers were awesome!

A delight absolute gem will bring my daughter next time. Very meaningful and great acting and props in a beautiful theatre.

A faithful and, (if not somewhat thematically biased) visually stunning adaptation of the book. The costume, prop and stage design perfectly convey the thematic importance of Pi's account at sea, which like the direction, bring a new perspective to an audience with prior knowledge (or in retrospection), if not slightly limiting further interpretations.

A glorious paean for man versus nature, this performance had everything great in as far as you were watching a man, (an extremely amusing one), on a boat with a tiger in the middle of an ocean. Add the beauty of night stars, a vulnerable wilderness and incredibly skilled direction and animal puppetry. Can you tell I loved it?!

This show was simply brilliant. A must see for all age groups.

Not good, felt very dumbed down. Didn't get the hype.

Main character excellent. Sets marvellous. Animals animated with great skill.

GREAT adaptaion. GREAT show.

this was real theatre, a real show. Full of colour, wonderful effects and of course, the animal puppets. A visual feast, Maybe not for children under 12 as there are scenes of death and killing, but otherwise a fantastic couple of hours of pure entertainment. My only quibble was that the some of the actors seemed to be shouting rather than projecting and this jarred a little.

A wonderful book and film and the stage version doesn’t disappoint in any way. This is an extraordinary technical and artistic achievement. The lighting effects are outstanding. Lose yourself in a wonderful theatre experience.

Exceptionally enjoyable.
