Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

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.

4/5

“‘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.”

“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."

5/5

“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."

4/5

“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.”

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Erik Sjodin
I saw ABBA first time in 1973 before they became famous in my hometown Lycksele. This show was excellent good in many ways. Especially the moves from in coordination between movies and the avatars. That made them more real.. A masterpiece from start to the end!! First time i cry in a show like this. Thd sound was better then in reality. Such a great job all of you made for all of us.. MAGIC.

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Andreasson Ralf Denny
Best of the best!! Not only was Abba "there" but Céline Dion was in the audience on this wonderful evening. Stylish lighting and incredibly authentic that you could almost believe it was 1974 again. Good recharge before at Snoozbar outside the arena. Worth every €.

The booking experience was both quick and easy. One suggestion is that if you use the underground to Victoria which exit to use from the station as we chose the wrong one and it took some time to find the theatre.

Booked day before for myself and mum as found ourselves in London and fancied a show. Took a chance on Mrs Doubtfire and all I can say is that it was fabulous from start to finish. Such energy and talent by the cast. Loved it.
