Everything about the production was amazing!! The theatre was lovely and we were able to see everything very well even though we were a bit high up (due to purchasing tickets very last minute) and the ensemble cast was phenomenal with even a few numbers leaving me in tears! I would absolutely recommend this production to anyone whether you've seen Les Mis before or if it's your first time!

Everything. The cast performances were phenomenal. I've seen Les Mis numerous times and this performance was the best! Javert stood out to me as extraordinary. The Sondheim staff was efficient and so warm and friendly. Oh and the prices for tickets, drinks, and memorabilia were really great. When I'm in London I always take in West End offerings but this stands out. Thank you!!

I loved every thing about my experience. The Les Miserábles show is just a 5-10 minute walk from the Piccadilly Circus station, is in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, and an absolutely beautiful building and show. The experience itself had me sobbing and cheering and feeling witht he characters the entire time, and afterwards, I could only think of Les Mis. Could not recommend enough.

Adapted from Victor Hugo’s novel and reborn as a record-smashing musical and blockbuster film, this London classic resonates with dreamers, rebels, and romantics.

Olivier and Tony awards crown its success, with Cameron Mackintosh producing, Claude-Michel Schönberg composing, and a star cast led by Killian Donnelly.

Themes of justice, redemption, and love collide with its famous revolving stage and rousing anthems like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "Do You Hear the People Sing?".

Since 1985, it has been the West End’s longest-running musical, dazzling 130+ million worldwide and having been translated into 21 languages with performances in 53 countries.

With 392 costumes, 85 wigs, and seamless staging, this theatrical feat brings 19th-century France to life on a breathtaking scale. Book your Les Misérables London tickets today!

The story

Set in 19th-century France, Les Misérables follows ex-convict Jean Valjean, released after years in prison but forever branded by his past. Pursued relentlessly by Inspector Javert, Valjean rebuilds his life under a new name while encountering characters like Fantine, Cosette, Marius, and Éponine. As revolution brews in Paris, love, sacrifice, and justice clash in a tale that asks: who will rise when the barricades fall?

Not just an amazing stage show, great actors and incredible voices but the theatre staff were great. Efficient, nice and made the day a great experience. One of the easier theatres to navigate; they are not difficult but this was very well laid out and no queues at any point of the day.

This was beyond question the best performance of Les Miserables I have ever seen. I've been fortunate to see the show at least a dozen times, both on Broadway and in West End. But knowing this was the 40th Anniversary season with a special cast I was excited to see it again. It did not disappoint. The cast was amazing top to bottom. Each role was perfectly perfromed. The choreography seemed to have been updated a bit and was outstanding, beautiful, and well executed. Standout performances included: Bradley Jaden as Javert, who is brilliant in this role... the best I've ever seen, by far; Killian Donnelly as Jean Valjean, who captures the role and manages to somehow age before our eyes as the show goes on, with grace, beauty, and dignity; Shan Ako as Éponine, who brings an earthiness and depth of pain to the role. Her final scene had almost everyone around me quite visibly moved to tears; Katie Hall as Fantine, with a passionate and beautiful performance that elicited more tears; and even D'vante Hart in the role of Gavroche who brought the house down with a powerful performance by such a young actor. The list could go on and on. Each role was perfectly cast, and the singing was outstanding by everyone. I have always loved this musical, but this particular cast and performance will likely remain my favorite of all time. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
