There are very few live theatre shows that stand the test of time. Les Misérables is surely one of them. It started playing in London in 1885 at the Palace Theatre and then shifted to what would eventually become London's Sondheim Theatre, where it is playing to date. This makes it one of the longest-running musicals in the world, so there is precious little doubt about what an incredible production it is. With Victor Hugo’s story at heart, breathtaking set designs, powerful storytelling, a legendary soundtrack and a stellar cast, Les Misérables is an experience par excellence. If you’re into musical theatre and are in the city, leave everything and go watch this, the London Eye can wait. It is truly a one-of-a-kind feeling to be in that theatre.

Andrzej Lukowski,
Time Out4/5
“‘I would seriously question whether any other show on the planet bar ‘Les Misérables’ could get away with junking its original production and carrying on as if nothing had changed. But ‘Les Mis’ could be transposed to space, or underwater, or to the height of the Hittite empire and it would basically be the same show as long as the singing was on point.”
Miriam Gillinson,
The Guardian5/5
“What’s the sign that you’ve seen a great musical? You wake up the next morning with the score racing through your head? Check. You consider jacking it all in to pursue a career in musical theatre? Check. You immediately plan a return trip? Double check. The West End’s longest-running musical, Les Misérables, has reopened at the refurbished and renamed Sondheim theatre (formerly the Queen’s), and what a thrill – no, a privilege – it is to “hear the people sing” once more."
Mark Shenton,
London Theatre5/5
“The show remains a thrilling triumph. Here's to the next 35 years, as it looks set to become The Mousetrap of musical theatre; but unlike that murder mystery, there's hardly any mystery to why it's such an enduring success."
Tim Bano,
The Stage4/5
“Swift, slick, sexy, sounding better than ever and constantly spectacular, the posters that flood Shaftesbury Avenue are, to be fair, pretty much on the money: this is a Les Mis for the 21st century.”

It was sooo wonderful! We're totally blown away. The trip to England was totally worth it. The atmosphere was great. Young and old alike were dancing and singing along!

It was a concert that felt as if the four of them were right there in front of us. The atmosphere in the hall was great, too. During “Dancing Queen,” we all danced and sang along.

From the moment we were welcomed to the theatre, the staff were friendly and smiley. This feels so rare nowadays and I commented to my husband how friendly everyone seemed.
There were boosters for children ready at the sides- it wasn't a faff and this just made it feel calm and organised.
The show itself was spectacular. The perfect length for little ones (mine was 4). I thought the cast were exceptional. I loved how they personified the book characters with inside jokes for adults and children. It had the right amount of interaction- it didn't feel like a panto but kept the children entertained just when they may have started to get restless.
My whole family loved this show and we will definitely look out for more by the company in the future- thank you!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The actors embodied their characters fully, we were engaged from start to finish. The music, singing ans stage setting were phenomenal we left the theater feeling like we had just been to Hadestown. Excellent performance BRAVO!!!

The performance was really made astonishing by the use of light to illuminate certain characters in the play, creating dynamic shots between characters which helped to really set the emotional atmosphere. Furthermore, the lighting helped accentuate the impact of certain scenes making it a poignant and powerful tool for highlighting the importance of particular events.

I had been so excited to see the full version of this play as I had only seen the condensed versions, and it did not disappoint. So happy I got to see it before they change this to the condensed version.

Amazing high quality dancing and choreographys. There was a lot of interaction with the public and the boys made sure every single person had the time of their lives by giving (almost) everyone some personal attention. Very sweet dancers who love to have a little chat with you aswell when they pick you for a dance. The entire show is incredibly put together and it was not only very sexy and impressive to watch, they also included some comedy which made it even better. Definitely a night to never forget!

Wicked was absolutely magical! 💚 Incredible performances, breathtaking vocals, stunning visuals, and an unforgettable atmosphere. *Defying Gravity* gave me goosebumps—definitely one of the best West End shows I've ever seen! 🎭⭐️
