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.”

The venue and immersive elements helped make the performance memorable. I was in the jury box and there was considerable attention paid on us throughout the play.

This is the best way to get into immersive plays. Loved it.
We sat in the grand circle row. Not the best seats but there wasn't any seats left so we took what was available. Balcony seats are the best. Next time will look for them.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Max Mario Schiefer
An absolutely incredible theatre experience! The Phoenix Theatre itself is a beautiful, historic theatre, and the view from my seat was excellent.
The show had an amazing opening that immediately created a special atmosphere. When the ship appeared on stage, I was genuinely speechless. The production was simply breathtaking. The incredible effects, fantastic acting and perfectly fitting music made the entire experience incredibly immersive.
I especially loved how there were so many connections and parallels to the original Stranger Things series, while the play still felt like its own story. During the performance, I completely forgot that I was watching a theatre production and not a movie.
The slow-motion effect and the opening scene are moments that will stay with me for a very long time. Even now, they still leave me speechless. An absolute highlight and a must-see, especially for every Stranger Things fan!

The Gruffalo
Amit kapoor
What made The Gruffalo performance unforgettable was the combination of funny acting, colourful costumes, music and audience participation. The actors brought the Mouse, Fox, Owl, Snake and Gruffalo to life in a lively and entertaining way. I especially enjoyed how the audience could join in and react to what was happening on stage. The moment when the Gruffalo appeared was exciting and surprising, which made the performance feel magical and memorable.

Africa scene was magnificent to see with all the animals and beautifuly changing colors. The songs are familiar and the story too. That made non native English speakers to enjoy the show too. Really appreciate all the hard works of everyone involved.

Beetlejuice
Noah de Jager
This performance of Beetlejuice was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience. From banjo-breaking demons to spirit-eating sandworms, this musical had it all.
For a self-proclaimed show about death, it was able to masterfully layer humor and whimsy onto every scene without taking away from it's heavy themes. During the performance, a dazzling show of light served to bridge the gap between the audience and the stage.
Perfect choreography, superb singing and impeccable acting made this an experience to remember. Yet, Above all, the elaborate puppets were what really set this show apart, huge monsters with intricate patterns slithering through the set.
This is the type of musical you can watch a million times and love it all the more.
Attached is a picture of the set prior to the performance, this is the only one I took since it was forbidden to take photos during the performance.
