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.”

5/5

“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."

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.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
ELEONORA IACCARINO
The theater very much suited to the type of show. Truly spectacular cast not only the two leads but also the various supporting actors. Only drawback the air conditioning maybe a little too cold. But overall all very very satisfactory

The Devil Wears Prada

Experience
Irene Irene
Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The production was the best one I've ever seen in my life. I love Theatre and Cinema (I work in cinema industry) and I was amazed by the scenographic artistry and the perfect vocals. I loved the love you feel by entering the theatre, the bar was so cute and the assistance crew was polite. Thank you for this spectacular experience♥️ I'll never forget it.
