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.”

Everything. This is my 3rd time watching the show and the first time for my LO. I thought with so many kids it will be noisy but it wasn't. Enjoyed it yet again.

Magic Mike Live
CRISTINA CONTI
A truly fun night! The guys were, of course, incredibly handsome with sculpted bodies, and they were also amazing dancers, full of energy and charisma. The moment that struck me the most was the act with the female dancer and the aerial rope—elegant, powerful, and moving. A perfect mix of sensuality and talent!

TINA: The Tina Turner Musical
Anke Hoppe
It was a great experience all round, even if you didn't speak English very well. You knew the theme and the music lightened it up. It was a pity that we were only allowed to take pictures at the very end. I would have liked to have recommended this musical to my friends in Germany.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Sandra Petra Heiden
Moulin Rouge is simply a great musical, I deduct one star because I think that you have to be able to see everything from all seats and that wasn't the case for us (Grand Circle D1-4, E1-4)!
Otherwise, production, actors, quality, there is nothing to complain about, an absolutely breathtaking experience!

ABBA Voyage
Markus Johannes Karl Junker
The show is very nice, but overpriced for the money. The sound was not optimal, especially at the beginning. In between too. The synchronization between sound and lip movement was also sometimes off. But as an ABBA fan, you can overlook this and are happy to have seen your favorite stars. The atmosphere is very nice and the light show is gigantic.

Hamilton
Valeria Ziulina
Absolutely loved the show, it was just perfect! The staff was friendly and helpful, the seats and the view were great. It was my forst time seeing Hamilton and I really enjoyed watching it from Royal circle. I could see the whole stage and enjoy the choreography while also being emotionally involved with the characters.
