5Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
In an era where musicals often lean into spectacle over substance, this revival of Dickens's timeless story delivers both in spades. What sets this version apart is its ability to find beauty in the darkness, whether it's a shaft of golden light piercing through London smoke or the haunting harmony of workhouse children dreaming of food. While the classic tale remains unchanged, it is a reinvention that makes you feel as though you're discovering the story for the first time.

Nick Curtis,
The Standard5/5
"A glorious evening of song and dance that doesn’t shy away from the subtext of this quintessential London musical"
Sarah Hemming,
Financial Times5/5
"As silken as the handkerchiefs Fagin’s boys pickpocket from the gentry, and as polished as the jewels he secretly stashes beneath the floor, this gorgeous staging of Oliver! oozes class as it high-kicks its way into the West End."
Neil Fisher,
The Times4/5
"Lipkin captures both the plight of a traumatised immigrant — and of anyone trying to lead a good life in a dark and devious world."

Les Misérables
Lotte Steenbeeke
Musical was incredible! Never seen the film before but story was very clear. The cast was really good and the theatre was nice and comfortable. We were in the stalls and had our own bar. Our tickets said that we might have a restricted view of the top of the set, but we could see the whole musical! Enjoyed it very much and had a lovely evening.

Les Misérables
Rachel Jane Kestell
To see this musical withy daughter in the West End was a dream come true! It did not disappoint - the Sonheim theatre delivered a truly magnificent rendition of Les Miserables! The theatre itself was beautiful and I'm in awe of the incredibly talented cast members.
Thank you for this wonderful experience!

It was wonderful—not just the performance itself, but the costumes and the set design as well. The set is fabulous; it changes all the time. It’s definitely worth seeing.

Paddington The Musical

We took my 12 year old son to this show for our first West End experience and it was amazing! The show itself, the music, the characters, the dancing and singing...all of it was top notch! My son said he was sad when it ended and said it was the highlight of his trip to London!
