Review of Les Misérables – Friday, March 27, 2025 I attended Les Misérables on Friday, March 27, 2025, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The theatre itself was beautiful, providing the perfect atmosphere for such a powerful production. The cast was absolutely outstanding. Every performer brought incredible energy and emotion to the stage, making the story deeply moving from start to finish. The vocal performances were simply perfect—strong, clear, and full of passion. Each song was delivered with such precision and feeling that it gave me chills more than once. I was seated in the second row of the balcony. While this gave a nice overall view of the stage, it did mean that at times the actors were slightly less visible when they were performing at the very front of the stage. Somehow—though I honestly don’t know how—a man sitting a row behind me managed to fall asleep and was snoring quite loudly during parts of the performance, which was a bit distracting. Despite these small drawbacks, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the musical. The combination of the stunning setting, the talented cast, and the flawless singing made this performance exceptional. It was a truly magnificent evening at the theatre. Highly recommended to anyone who loves musicals!

The play was extremely funny. We have never laughed so much and almost non stop through the performance. The actors were amazing and performed their role perfectly. It was amazing to see what they were capable off. Even higher up on stage without safety ropes. Incredible. Will definitely come again!

I really liked the versatility of the actors, their ability to dance, sing and transform into other characters. The dynamics of the performance are very good, all the characters act without stopping, and the changes in the scenery in the mise-en-scenes are meaningful. Well technically synchronized with the orchestra.

Great atmosphere, and the performance was perfectly executed. How the animals were portrayed on stage was very special and incredible to see. We loved the actors. They were very skilled. All in all an unforgettable event, which we recommend to everyone!

We came here just the two of us, all the way to London, specifically to see Moulin Rouge! at the Piccadilly Theatre, and the atmosphere was simply enchanting. The lights, the explosive choreography, and the emotion in the air swept us away. The voices were sublime, just like the music, which was so powerful and immersive. Every moment was an emotional journey, a dream we will never forget.

Seats H 1 through 3—an incredible show, with stunning sets, music, and costumes. A must-see! My only regret is not getting seats closer to the stage; even though we could see relatively well, the show is definitely worth spending a little extra!
