THEATRE: Madonna Visits the London Wonderground

<p>Theatre Review: Limbo, London Wonderground at The Southbank</p> <p>by Chris Bridges | 1st August 2013</p><p>★★★★★</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4596509073.jpg" width="460" height="460" alt="The London Wonderground" title="The London Wonderground"/></p> <p></p><p>It’s not often that I’m left speechless but Limbo left me open mouthed and gasping. Described as the biggest party between heaven and hell this riotous and dark performance is set in the fantastic retro setting of the mirrored wooden Spiegeltent in the atmospheric Wonderground. There’s an amazing line up of cabaret, circus and sideshow running right through till autumn at the Southbank. </p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4596509072.jpg" width="460" height="307" alt="The London Wonderground" title="The London Wonderground"/></p> <p></p><p>Contortionism, tap dancing, fire eating, sword swallowing, acrobatics and striptease are all performed in ways that you’ve never seen them done before. The men are hot and muscular and the air crackles with tension as the performers dazzle to a live soundtrack that defies genre. My senses were totally overloaded and I sat agog like a small child but with a healthy tickle of apprehension in my belly.</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4596509069.jpg" width="461" height="307" alt="The London Wonderground" title="The London Wonderground"/></p> <p></p><p>Apparently the show is also not just good enough for queens like me but has also entertained the queen of pop herself, Ms Madonna Ciccone, who was spotted and papped in the audience last night.</p><p></p><p>I can’t recommend this show highly enough. See it until the 29th of September or sample some of the other delights of the Wonderground.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Tickets from £10</p><p>10th May – 29th September 2013</p><p>Age restriction of 12+</p><p>To book phone: 0844 545 8282</p><p>7.15pm Tuesday to Sunday</p><p>3pm Saturday Matinees</p><p>9pm performances (INSTEAD 7.15pm) on 4th, 5th & 6th September</p><p>Book online here: <a href="http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/limbo-72429">http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/limbo-72429</a></p><p></p><p>Or sample some of the other delights here: <a href="https://www.londonwonderground.co.uk/">https://www.londonwonderground.co.uk</a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p>
