The musical "Les Miserables" in London was a very impressive and emotional experience. The talent and performances of all the actors, especially the children, left me speechless. The fantastic stage design and scenery also made the visit a unique experience. From funny scenes to tears in my eyes, it had everything. I would love to see it again on my next visit to London (as a musician and musical fan) because it was simply magnificent. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this possible!!!

We went to the show with our 14 years old daughter. She was very excited and nervous before, but when finished she revealed It was the most amazing experience in her life, which IS remarkable, taking into account she has attended to plenty of musicals, theatrical plays and live music shows. We are a family from the Canary Islands, Spain, and thisbwas the first trip of our daughter to London. I have also to mention that she follow very well the lyrics of the songs, and cried and laughted several times during the show. It's a 10/10 show. Congratulations!!!

What an unforgettable night! We left the theatre in tears from all the emotion the play, the actors, and the scenery brought out. My 95-year-old grandmother and I came from Portugal specifically to watch the play, and it was worth every dime. Every scene was clearly thought out down to the smallest detail, the transitions from one set to another were seamless, and the actors left us in awe with their performances. A night to never forget. Thank you to the entire crew, cast, and backstage team for all the effort and hard work.

Mega musical, great singers, great stage design, and above all, the story is conveyed so beautifully without long dialogues. Unfortunately, we had a lady in the audience who cried and sobbed very loudly. I understand that it's emotional, but unfortunately it was very distracting and disruptive for everyone else. She should have taken a short break herself or the staff should have taken her out for a moment.

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?

We come from Germany and came to London especially to fulfill my lifelong dream of seeing and experiencing Les Miserables, the original musical. The Sondheim Theater, with all its performers and musicians, not only exceeded my expectations, but also gave me unforgettable and magical memories. The lighting effects were magnificent, especially Javert's bridge jump, which was fantastically staged. Experiencing the powerful music live in combination with such wonderful performers was simply magnificent. I would like to thank everyone involved for giving me goosebumps inside and out. When tears run down your cheeks in the musical theater while you simply enjoy the music, the evening is perfect. This was a whole different league of musical experience, both in terms of the singing, the technology, the stage design, so close to the film and simply authentic in every moment, and last but not least, the musicians in the orchestra pit. Les Mis—a dream has come true and will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you.
