A catalyst I fall very much on the side of philistine with the west end lovies. But?, I'm a total convert after this, utterly amazing and happily converted." What next!" I say so myself.

An absolute must see. If you only go to the theatre once,then go see Les Miserables. This was my 4th time and it still amazes me. Superb in every respect.
Jane, 12 Apr 2024
Perfect Production It makes you laugh, cry and gives you a bit of a history lesson. The music is outstanding, both singing and the orchestra.

First and Unforgettable It’s my first time watching a musical and I’m really thankful for the crew to give me such an unforgettable experience. So much emotion in their singing and a great story told in a vivid way!!
Ping Ping, 28 Mar 2024
an absolute classic - must see! Went to see Les Mis for the 2nd time tonight - took my boyfriend for his first live theatre experience. It was as mind blowing as the first time I watched it. Thoroughly enjoyed every second - my boyfriend loved it too! There were a fair few tears from both of us but what more do you expect!
Brilliant show - must see!

Amazing, as expected! Amazing actors and voices! I cried, had goosebumps and I'm so happy I went to see then, a dream come true! Thanks to everyone for lovely evening to remember
Lucia, 26 Feb 2024
It is way too expensive, but go anyway! The pain is short and soon forgotten. This is a timeless story with a musical set that is moving and magical.
Sidney, 26 Feb 2024
Never fails to impress My absolute favourite - I must have seen it 5 or 6 times and it never stops amazing me
Erin, 25 Feb 2024
A wonderful evening We have seen the show several times, and this was by far my most favourite interpretation. The singing was spectacular and our seat position in the back row afforded great acoustics. Sadly, there were people standing behind us who had no respect nor regard for the show and spoke and sang and made noise the entire way through. This is both sudden and angered me as a lot of the show was spoilt for all of us
Dawn, 24 Feb 2024
First time theatre goer Amazing show, outstanding, i didn't know how i would find it, i have seen the movie (i know that isn't a comparison) but i thought the show was amazing
darren, 24 Feb 2024
Extraordinaire ! Ce spectacle est incroyable ! Tout est réussi. A voir même si vous n êtes pas bilingue dès lors que vous connaissez l histoire. C est magique ! Nous avions des places avec vue réduite (en haut de G1. à G4) et franchement ce n était pas gênant .
Sylvie, 21 Feb 2024
The most amazing singing Third time I’ve seen Les Miserable. I love it.
Hannah, 15 Feb 2024
The best in town A stream of emotions. It makes one forget the measure of time.

Sharon, 09 Feb 2024
Awesome Brilliant entertainment, amazing voices from the actors
Tina, 30 Jan 2024
Brilliant Loved the show but not suitable for young children due to some sexual references and language
MARION, 28 Jan 2024
50 turns 17 Saw it at 17, in french, will turn 50 next week, I was curious to go in the memory lane…and I read the book in-between.
That was a happy decision, that was moving, amazing singer, great story.
gilles, 22 Jan 2024
Amazing Blown away just wonderful show
Rachel, 22 Jan 2024
Amazing set, seamless execution of a classic! I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the performance including Val Jeans soliloquy, Javert's suicide, the Thenardiers master of the house and the scenes of the baracades. My all time favorite brought to life in stunning detail was the courtship of Marius and Cossette. The set was stunning and realistic, scene changes rapid and efficient and the audience showed their appreciation with a standing ovation. What a wonderful experience.
Ciemara, 21 Jan 2024
Absolutely brilliant This is a must see, just go there and without a doubt it will be enjoyed
Mickey, 21 Jan 2024

Gilles, 06 Jan 2024
Absolutely incredible This is better than we ever imagined wow !!!
Robert, 04 Jan 2024
No more snacking please Fabulous show !!!
Was a bit surprised that people ate and drank during the show. Are they that hubgry and thirsty that they can't wait til the show is over ?
Pascal, 03 Jan 2024
excellent and most enjoyable! What a great evening!
Mark, 02 Jan 2024
Perfect show My 12 years old and myself we thoroughly enjoyed Les Miserables.
zsuzsanna, 31 Dec 2023
Wonderful, but.. The play was amazing i would go again, but there was one thing that I personally find unnecessary, i did ignore it the first couple of times but then it came up again and again which was this obscene and unapropriate behaviour involving a man's gebitalia. It kind of was unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the show which again was superb.
Alia, 30 Dec 2023
What a performance! Great performance, creative, funny, colourful and emotional all in one. Seemless change of scenes. Definitely a must to see!
Alaine, 30 Dec 2023
Very emotional, alive, deeply moving … Read the book before you see for better understanding of the whole story. All musical is amazing!!!!
Anna Angelika, 22 Dec 2023
Worth every cent. After seeing the show, the cost was not even a consideration.
I had a great seat and was enthralled the whole show.
Philip, 16 Dec 2023
Les mis dec 23 Exception person performance and outstanding voices. Absolutely brilliant junior.
Peter, 12 Dec 2023
A must see! Fantastic show, with a great cast.
Joanna, 09 Dec 2023
Can't go wrong with Les Mis I do prefer the previous productions' staging
Trevor, 08 Dec 2023
? Loved the show. Very helpful front of house staff.
Would advise getting there at least 11/2 hours before and relax with a meal in the Chinese buffet opposite the theatre.
Take coats off as it does get very warm in theatre.
Sandra, 08 Dec 2023
The best Fantastic
Matias, 05 Dec 2023

Clare, 02 Dec 2023
Food for the soul xx Absolutely brilliantxx
mark, 02 Dec 2023
The best show I have seen in a long time! So I'm very critical of the shows I have seen and there are many that disappointed me, but this show did not disappoint! The acting was superb - the cast was just so good - I laughed and for someone who never cries in public, I was in tears - as were others around me! The set was exceptional and the singing was heartfelt and just absolutely outstanding! One of the best shows I have seen in London in a long time! Well worth the money. Highly recommended!
Samantha, 01 Dec 2023
Breathtaking! Awesome show, was so good it took my mind off how cramped and uncomfortable these old theatres are.
jennifer, 26 Nov 2023
Impressive and amazing! A stunning show. Due to some sexual references perhaps not suitable for young children.

Ana, 18 Nov 2023
Fantastic show- a must watch Loved it but seating is dated, narrow and squeezed.
Harjinder, 17 Nov 2023
Have seen it five times...this revised version is the most exciting yet with 20 or so additional minutes of music and drama and even better than before...
S CHRISTOPHER, 04 Nov 2023
Wow fantastic amazing! Moved by the beauty of the whole show thank you brilliant cast and music. A dream come true thank you
Simon, 28 Oct 2023
The best yet. The new production of an old favourite went way beyond any expectations - simply loved it!!!!
Steven, 27 Oct 2023
Down with Jean Valjean I have seen it 4 times and unfortunately this one was the least pleasant. Acting was hectic, Jean Valjean particular illy, and the end not a breathtaking finish as I have known in other representations. The previous one seen in LON as well 4 years ago was a world of difference.
Francois, 22 Oct 2023
Fabulous Great show .
Helen, 20 Oct 2023
Well worth seeing. As well as being an excellent show I found the staff very helpful. I use a crutch and was extremely impressed with the help that I received.
Patricia, 13 Oct 2023
The song was brilliant!! I really like the song and I was very enjoy in them; also the acting was great!!
Ting-Hsuan, 12 Oct 2023
Wonderful singing! We really enjoyed Les Mis at The Sondheim. The singers were really talented.
Kimberley, 07 Oct 2023
Superb production I’ve seen Les Miz several times in the US since I first saw it when it opened here in London. This production was the best I can remember seeing. The performances were stellar. The whole production was top-notch. I would recommend it to anyone, whether a first timer or a long-time admirer of the show.
Robin, 30 Sep 2023
Our favourite production We loved the new production, it’s given an old friend a new lease of life! Excellent set and staging. Brilliant performances
No matter if you have seen les Miz before, well worth another visit
Philip, 29 Sep 2023
Nothing miserable about Les Mis We have just watched Les Mis for the first time at the Sondheim, everything about the performance was truly breathtaking, from the staff making sure we got to our seats to the main performers, it was faultless, this is a genuine full five star experience.
David, 13 Sep 2023
Total professionals I have always been abject to the idea os watching a group of people dance and sing for two hours plus.
However; the show was absurdly fast and so dramatic that it never gave chance for a lapse in focus. The stage burst out of well choreographed actors stepping the boards into what seemed like a film production.
The acting along with the drama and choice coordinating costumes made Les Miserables an incredible feast of what your perfect musical ought to be.
My main gripe was my own inability to keep up with the story. And, realizing on the last scene was that the actors and production could provide a faultless story so well. Given the scope of each particular scene with the incredible ranges of what is to be considered a complete theater experience; in this one, you can appreciate why this show has never lost any of its remarkable spark.
Thank you so much for your professionalism in delivering to us.
Daren, 12 Sep 2023
Gob smacked I always said no it’s not for me but then got tickets for my wife and I loved it, it’s amazing must see
matthew, 04 Sep 2023
Lack of chemistry The cast this time is a bit disappointing compared with the previous six performances I watched in different places and different times. They can sing but I can’t attach to the characters they portray. Maybe my expectation is too high this time
Ping, 31 Aug 2023
Simply great Always love Les Mis, it didn’t disappoint. Second back row in the top level and the atmosphere was spine tingling. People overcome with all emotions.
Brian, 28 Aug 2023
Always fabulous Les Mis never fails to amaze, the singing and whole performance was wonderful
Beverley, 25 Aug 2023
West End must see! Les Miserables was a fantastic shows from start to finish. Music, singing and acting brought me to tears it was so powerful
Elaine, 19 Aug 2023
Worth every penny, just brilliant. Once it ended, you just wanted it to start again! Loved the show - my third time to see this musical and it is just as good the third time as it was the first. It is really worth going, everything about it is fantastic from the actors, the singing, the costumes, the staging, the lightening and not to forget the fabulous orchestra.
Gerardine, 17 Aug 2023
Emotionally powerful, gripping, colourful and creative with a truly fabulous cast. This is a must see for everyone. Spectacular, as defined above.

Barbara, 02 Jul 2023
Outstanding Show The show was amazing the stage scenes the actors and actresses were amazing to sing like they did was phenomenal, the power each and every person had and the emotion they put into each and every song left me laughing and sometimes crying. This show is definitely a must see
Samantha, 29 Jun 2023
Absolute must see - theatre at its best Arrive early to soak in the atmosphere. Incredibly performances from all the cast; even my husband was enthralled and he is not a musicals fan. The band were incredible and the cast excelled.
Denise, 26 Jun 2023
