Absolutely fantastic show This is my husbands favourite musical and after 27 years of marriage I have finally seen it.
And it was totally worth the wait, absolutely wonderful. The music, singing and acting were all phenomenal.
I can see why it is his favourite, Could be mine too now.!

Incredible performance! Les Miserables was way beyond anything we've ever imagined! Incredibly well done--the sets and production, the singing, the acting... Truly amazing.
Bruce, 20 Dec 2024
Absolutely wonderful Having seen the show 5 times over the last 30 years it never disappoints. Wonderful show!
Helen, 19 Dec 2024
So professional, very well done! First and foremost, everyone in the cast did a really professional job and the performers sang beautifully! It is amazing to witness a production so big, slide forward so effortlessly. However, it is a long story, so everything went very fast. They didn't allow time to feel the feelings, if that makes sense. Maybe they could have put in a few seconds pause after an especially emotional song, so that the audience had time to take it in before they moved on to the next scene. But we all loved the show!

Wonderful performance Les Mis is a true classic. First premiere in 1980 it is as fresh and magnificant as ever before. Impressive cast with super great voices and acting skills. We were blown away😃

Kate, 08 Dec 2024
Still see something new every time My 77th time at Les Mis including last Saturday at Chatelet theatre in Paris. I get transported to a different dimension every time I see it. I’ve already booked to come back in February, it’s worth the trip from Ireland. The music is spine tingling, the set is formidable and the acting is 5*
Bill, 07 Dec 2024

CECILE, 08 Nov 2024
Must see Les Mis My 15 year old daughter and I watched the Thursday matinee. From the moment the curtain went up to the last bows, we were gripped.
The quality of the singing was sensational, fantastic acting with sprinkles of humour. We both thoroughly enjoyed it
Hannah, 07 Nov 2024
Creative Regrettably Michael Ball is a hard act to follow. We have seen Les Mis 25 times and Marius was weak this time.

MORRIS, 24 Oct 2024
Excellent show in every aspect the show is a masterpiece, acting, costumes, music, lyrics, scenography are on the highest standard. The show lasts for 3 hours (intermission included) which may be a bit long for some people. On the other hand it keeps you hooked.

Lesley, 29 Sep 2024
Fabulous production Great show, great actors and great voices.
The Sondheim is a nice theatre and the staff are excellent. The seating is too cramped though. Pre-show/interval drinks arrived without a hitch.
Louise, 25 Sep 2024
Excellent rendition of a classic The cast and ensemble for Les Misérables in London was excellent. The singing, acting and overall presentation was very good and consistent with what you would expect with the same show in New York at Times Square. The theatre. was quaint and charming, although the seats were uncomfortable.
Ken, 23 Sep 2024
Amazing experience for us! An absolutely stunning performance!

Absolutely brilliant This show is truly inspiring and unbelievably good. Everything about it was superb.
Ronald, 20 Sep 2024
Bold and electric! This show is a must see for anyone with a heart
It was tender, bold, and energetic.
The pacing was intense and the costumes completely defined the characters
The set and lighting added to the intensity and created the mood of each scene
Beautifully acted and sung by each character.
Pamela, 17 Sep 2024
Beautiful, powerful and tragic. Beyond expectaions I loved every minute of this musical, depicting the sadness, cruelty and tragedy of the French Revolution. People believing in their cause for freedom and justice. The music and the singing was so powerful. Amazing. Thank you.
Suzanne, 15 Sep 2024
.Marvelous Words don't express the show and cast best show we've seen
Robert, 12 Sep 2024
Emotionally charged theater, at its best! This is a three hour show, with one 15 minute intermission. I don’t think young children would understand the story and might be frightened by the special effects associated with the gun battle. Otherwise, all other attendees would marvel at the stunning sets/scenery, costumes, and spectacular voices. Those who appreciate music will marvel at the beautiful orchestral accompaniment music and voices that expressed so much emotion and range! It was an incredible experience!
Joan, 10 Sep 2024
Excellent first Theatre experience Amazing music, story and talent.
Bevin, 08 Sep 2024
Brilliant show This is a brilliant show with fabulous acting, singing and music. This story is both sad and heartwarming. A must see for all theatre goers!
Stephen, 05 Sep 2024
Show les mis Excellent show, nearly three hours of fantastic entertainment!!!!!
brian, 04 Sep 2024
Les Mis Sept 24 Third time I’ve seen the show, and enjoyed it immensely again. Some slight differences due to directing I’m sure, but these didn’t detract from our enjoyment.
Sid, 04 Sep 2024
The best performance Iv ever seen, fabulous congratulations everyone Toilet situation not good in the inyetval
Denise, 22 Aug 2024
Best show on the planet Every time I see this show it blows me away. The acting the passion is always intense. I took two friends to see this for the first time and they cannot wait to see it again. The cast is sensational. Recommend to all
Connie Marie, 18 Aug 2024
A must see!! An excellent show keeps you captivated from start to finish. You don’t want the story to end.
Singers were amazing and what a perfect character for Bonnie Langford. An overall stunning piece of creativity.
Lee, 11 Aug 2024
Fantastic This was the 7th time of seeing Les Miserable. The first time was with the original cast of Colm Wilkinson, Roger Alllum, Michael Ball etc.
It will always be a favourite.
Stephen, 09 Aug 2024
Each time good difference This time was fifth visit.
Each time was different seat and I thought, I can enjoy any seats!
Machiko, 01 Aug 2024
Brilliant The show was brilliant, great singing, acting, costumes
David, 01 Aug 2024
Very impressive, a must see it! Les misérables it's a very well made musical, very, very good scenography and decoration, the change of scenography is spectacular! The actors and actresses do it very, very well. You get excited, laugh, enjoy and have a great time!
Núria, 01 Aug 2024

John, 31 Jul 2024
Absolutely the BEST musical I’ve ever seen. Second time in London to see Les Mis and not disappointed. Fantastic, moving, brilliant acting and songs. I’ll be back!!
Karen, 31 Jul 2024
Fabulous musical It's 10th time we've seen this wonderful musical. We both love it.
Elaine, 31 Jul 2024
Great show Amazing performance, loved the show. We have seen it three times. Best performance ever
Belinda, 31 Jul 2024
The best show in London I forgot to blink.
Seriously the best show I have ever seen for every part of it, my only regret was being so mesmerised by the show that at the end my eyes were sore and blurred from not blinking and the fact that at the end I had not appreciated that everyone around me was stood up, it deserved a standing ovation and I missed it!
David, 29 Jul 2024
Dynamic Both major voices disappointing. Weak… judging from several previous attendances! Greatly reduced number of cast members… shrinkflation was obvious!
GUILLERMO MALCOLM,, 26 Jul 2024
Fantastic show with great great effects I had seen the film of Les Miserable but the live show was something else. The story and acting was superb. Could not fault it. Master of the House was great with Bonnie Langford playing the part to perfection. Highly recommend
Denis, 20 Jul 2024
Emotional and compelling The opening of the show was marred by latecomers,and school kids in and out of their seats (18th July,matinee).
The performances were brilliant,voices all amazing.
From my grand circle seat I had only a partial view of the stage, perhaps a half view,so in future,would not buy a seat with restricted view.
Really appreciated the air conditioning as really hot day.
Elizabeth, 18 Jul 2024
Amazing It was fantastic
Katie, 13 Jul 2024
Fantasticly unforgettable Been to see les mis over ten times but this performance was up there as one of the best
Gillian, 13 Jul 2024
Surpassed my expectations Must recommend this musical as have never seen anything like it. We just loved it and the talent is amazing
Judith, 11 Jul 2024
Must see Excellent production. A must see for all
True example of a great musical
Charles, 10 Jul 2024
Exquisitely Executed. The use of lighting, projection and moving sets is spectacular. The voices are astounding. The storytelling is striking and fast-paced while still giving you those introspective asides that rend the heartstrings and do credit to the reflective aspect of Victor Hugo's novel.
A most wonderful adaptation carried impeccably by all members of the cast and crew. Kudos to each one of you. Jean Valjean's fatherliness. Javert's rigidity and then descent. Gavroche in everything he did. The revolutionaries passion. Thenardiers' grotesque playfulness. The list goes on and on.
Moroever, oh my! The orchestral work and soundtrack are certain to leave you with goosebumps and in awe of the power of music to move.
Judah, 10 Jul 2024
Must see So wonderful show
Makiko, 09 Jul 2024
Trip to London/July Fantastic visit to the Sondheim to see Les Mis.....Great cast,Great music....6th visit and still as slick and professional as my first viewing many years ago.....Well Done cast members.
Lee, 09 Jul 2024
A must see show! Outstanding show with an excellent message. Loved it.
Gillian, 07 Jul 2024
Wonderful music and big feelings One of the must-see shows, with wonderful music and colorful characters, combining historical and personal drama.
Panu, 06 Jul 2024
Les Mis again! 13th time of watching this magnificent show. However, this was the poorest one we have seen. The lighting wasn’t as bright as previously and some actors seemed to be singing without spotlights on them. The sound quality (mainly quieter singers) were not easy to hear. Previously all characters were strong while this performance there were a few weaker performances. The set seems to have changed since we last viewed and we preferred the previous version. However, we will return for our 14th visit before Christmas.
Jacqueline, 06 Jul 2024
Absolutely brilliant show. Everything about the show is perfect . Absolutely loved it as much this time if not more than the first time I saw it . Would certainly would book again.
Lesley, 04 Jul 2024
Very good scenery The text like in the opera on a screen in the top would be helpful for all foreigners.
Arnold, 29 Jun 2024
Amazing! Tear jerking, touching and electric!
Lewis, 29 Jun 2024
Emotive and evocative …. highly recommend ! It was beautifully acted and the quality of the vocals superb- it was a truly wonderful show - the great props and lighting add to the very colourful and creative scenes throughout the show !
My only problem my view was sadly almost obliterated by head wear worn by person in front!
Fiona, 25 Jun 2024
Les Miserables A brilliant performance at the Sondheim, a full house and standing ovation at the end. Cast, acting and singing brilliant, would recommend to anybody over the age of 5.
Robert, 24 Jun 2024
Amazing, out of this world!! One of the best performances of this show I have seen. The male leads were both exceptional and deserved the standing ovation from the entire audience - truly an emotional experience from start to finish - thank you
Marcus, 22 Jun 2024
Excellent new production Amazing show. Slightly sad that the revolving stage isn’t used anymore to transform into the barricades. However, the new version has great sets that seamlessly move into position.
Sarah, 22 Jun 2024
Brilliant show with incredible voices. Every voice was extraordinary! Have seen this show twice in other countries but this cast was almost as good as the original production.
Vladimir, 20 Jun 2024
Sensational Such a treat! The music is next level and the actors are so passionate and talented.
Diane, 20 Jun 2024
Meaningful I think for those who watch this musical need to study the background of the story. Otherwise you will feel a bit lost in the beginning.
celing, 15 Jun 2024
Amazing and emotional Absolutely stunning show from the singing, acting, orchestra...faultless.
Deborah, 12 Jun 2024

Must see!! Was on my list of must sees and was bit disappointed
Ella, 16 May 2024
Amazing theatre experience This is my favourite show and held me entranced from the very beginning. The music was wonderful, costumes beautiful and acting very good.
Linda, 14 May 2024
Still extraordinary and magnificent I have send Les Mis live about 10 times. This one was up there with the best. I loved the occasional ad lib extras. At times, the singing was more raucous than beautiful but that is a minor criticism.
