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.”

Wicked

What a fantastic show; the performers were excellent. This was my first time seeing this show as I wanted to get the memory of the films out of my head, and I am glad I eventually saw it. The stage sets and costumes were great; the singing was out of this world. It is well worth a visit and the tickets were reasonably priced.

The cast was truly amazing. I laughed, i cried and went throughn every emotion possible. But mostly I was just amazed what these people do there on stage. Not only were they amazing singers, but also so impressive when it comes to acring, comedy or performing. Our seats were great as well, i was a bit worried since they were last row but honestly it couldn't have been a better experience.

The Comedy About Spies
Mark Sell
A sold-out house, comedy with lots of slapstick and plenty of action on stage, with the typical English mystery twist at the end. For German visitors: don't be surprised by the queue outside 10 minutes before the show starts; the play starts on time. And wine and beer at your seat? No problem!

Much Ado About Nothing
Amy Farmer
We enjoyed the 'Much ado about nothing' play yesterday. The cast were all very well rehearsed and suited for their respective roles. I have already recommended this to others in last day.

Phantom of the Opera
Beatriz Jing García Segura
The Phantom of the Opera is a perfect show to rest and relax for 2h30+ minutes in the center of London. If it rains or you are tired of walking, it serves as an unbeatable break and musical entertainment. The music, the songs, the costumes, and the production—everything was fantastic. A beautiful theater and clean restrooms. You have the option to get a drink or something before or during the show, and there is merchandise to remember the performance by, such as magnets, bags, and even a red rose with the song lyrics on a red ribbon. Beautiful.

Phantom of the Opera
Alexis Anderson
Phantom of the Opera is so incredible. This is my 3rd or 4th time seeing it, and it never gets old. The actor who played the Phantom had such strong, beautiful vocals. The entire experience was lovely from the people at the entrance to those working at the bar to of course the musical itself. Our seats were also great for the price and we could see the entire stage very well, even with a peak of the orchestra. I would recommend anyone considering seeing Phantom to do it here in London!
