For sheer musical theatre spectacle and an emotional roller coaster, it quite rightly remains the best show in town

About The Sondheim Theatre
Designed by the legendary theatre architect W. G .R. Sprague, the Sondheim Theatre (formerly Queen's Theatre) is the sister to the Gielgud just down the road. The auditorium is large, seating just under 1000 people across three levels. Situated on the famous West End theatre row on magnificent Shaftesbury Avenue, the venue is surrounded by similarly magnificent theatres including the Lyric, Apollo and Palace. After sustaining significant structural damage during WW2 bombing raids, the venue has undergone much renovation and redevelopment, giving it a modern look that belies its real age and history.

Unforgettable Must see without doubt!

Too populistic The show as such is good, the music is good, but the story is shallow. There is engagement with the key characters, they do not move the audience. The political complexity is narrowed down to fighting against the lights…but why? Not clear. The ethical complexity of the relationship between the escapee and the inspector is reduced to literally 2 songs. The audience is perplexed when the inspector dies. The representation of the romantic triangle is slightly better, but we could not be fully moved by the unrequited love. All together, the show satisfies the appetite to hear the eternal hits, and the voices are of very high quality, but the story is a faded echo of Hugo’s epic narrative.

A spectacular show! Loved every minute! A very enjoyable experience. Wonderfully produced and the cast was stellar. Standing ovation well deserved! I would highly recommend this show!
