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?

Critics reviews

“With a cast that never misses a note, the West End’s longest-running musical proves a haunting and thrilling inspiration.”

– The Guardian

“It whumps you in the solar plexus … sold by world-class singers, it still defies the critics.”

What an unforgettable experience! From the lush colours and soaring ceilings of the Sondheim Theatre, to the sheer talent and mastery of the performers and the craftmanship of all those involved in bringing this musical to the stage for us. We thoroughly enjoyed!

This was my second time watching Les Misérables, and it still moved me to tears. Compared with their Sydney tour ten years ago, the production at the Sondheim Theatre in London makes much greater use of multimedia effects, lighting, and sound technology. The music and stage presentation are more powerful and breathtaking. Inspector Javert, with his unwavering integrity, clear sense of right and wrong, and steadfast commitment to his principles, remains my favorite character. In the end, unable to compromise his beliefs, he chooses to end his own life. When the passionate young revolutionaries sang “Do You Hear the People Sing?”, I once again found myself in tears. At the final curtain call, the entire audience rose to their feet and applauded for five minutes. I will definitely be back in London to see it again.

First proper musical I've ever been to, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The scale and skill on showcase is hard to even take in. Constant perfect pitch singing, while dancing, while acting on top of that. The plot really sucks you in, I won't spoil too much, but every character has such an interesting arc over the many years Les Mis spans. I was also worried at first getting a "potentially obscured" seat for cheaper, but it seems every seat in the Sondheim Theatre can see from the middle to the back of the stage, so I only missed 1 or 2 really short moments that weren't important. 10/10 can't wait to see my next musical. ❤️

Great atmosphere in the sondhiem, you can tell the audience had love for the theatre. The cast where absolutely brilliant, voices and emotion given during the performance really helped you live it. The seats where absolutely fine, says you may miss parts but you dont just the odd moment where somebody is up high. But not a issue in my opinion. 110% recommend to anyone thinking off going. We travelled in from Liverpool to see it. Worth it.

We so enjoyed our evening seeing Les Miserables! The theater was beautiful, the seats were comfortable, and we had a great view of the stage (dress circle, seats E23-24). The performance was stunning with a fantastic cast and orchestra. We arrived half an hour before the start time and that was plenty of time to get through ticketing and bag check, use the restroom and find our seats. 10/10 recommend!

The whole performance was powerful and so moving at the end it reduced not just myself to tears but I could see many around me also emotional. For a 2hr 50 min one of the longest performances I have been to the time flew. Testament to an amazing show. Lastly the incredible singing I have not heard anything as incredible as these actors and I have been to many shows.
