Les Misérables is a classic among musicals. The setting in chaotic 1800s Paris is perfectly reflected in the play, the story draws you in, and the magnificence of the sets, which change with each act, leaves you stunned. Finally, the work of the actors and singers is incredible, and what can be said about the orchestra, which can only be described as outstanding. The iconic songs give you goosebumps, but the lesser-known moments also keep you on the edge of your seat, enjoying every moment of a show that doesn't feel long despite its nearly three-hour running time—with a 20-minute intermission.

From the first note, Les Misérables runs through you. Without asking permission it conquers you with songs of a beauty that leads to tears. I can share that, at a certain point, my inner child was screaming "yes, yes, yes!", from so much commotion. In front of your eyes there is a cast with voices of rapturous intensity, there are dazzling child performers, a stage of prodigious versatility and live music that enhances it all. Warning: you will leave excited... and humming. Don't say I didn't warn you 😉

First, I had the opportunity to go to the Apolo Theater with my brother, who accepted my invitation.Everything was great, from the singers, choreographers, conductor, musicians, and staging. I would also like to thank the 26 collaborators behind this great work who were responsible for its creation. After reading the book, seeing the movie, and seeing this musical, I have to say that it stirred up a flood of emotions in those present, and I can sum up this musical in a single word (incomparable).

Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel and adapted into an Oscar-winning film, Les Misérables is a gripping musical drama perfect for history buffs and theater fans.

A multi-award-winning sensation with 8 Tony, 5 Drama Desk, and 4 Olivier Awards, seen by over 130 million in 53 countries—this is global theater royalty.

Featuring heart-stirring themes of justice, redemption, and love, with powerful staging and iconic songs like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "One Day More"—it is underscored by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil.

Detailed staging, era-specific costumes, moody lighting, and fluid set changes bring the grit and grandeur of 19th-century France vividly to life on stage.

Book your tickets to Les Misérables in Madrid's Teatro Apolo now, and don’t miss the show critics call one of the "greatest musicals ever created" (Chicago Tribune).

The story

In post-revolutionary France, Jean Valjean is granted freedom after years in prison, but the past won’t let him go. Hunted by the unrelenting Inspector Javert, Valjean finds purpose in raising Cosette, the daughter of a woman crushed by poverty. As civil unrest rises and rebellion brews, fate weaves Valjean’s journey with others who dare to dream. But will hope be enough?

A wonderful musical. I saw it in 1993 at the same theater, and I really liked this new translation, especially the impressive set design and lighting, which, together with the cast, make this, in my opinion, the best musical.

Excellent, good staging, and wonderful actors, with voices that are very well suited to the characters. The choreography deserves special mention, as it is dazzling.
