Les Miserables

Les Misérables is a legendary French historical novel by the writer and poet Victor Hugo, first published in 1862. Many think it's one of the finest novels of the 1800s. Set in early 19th-century France, it tells the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and his quest for redemption. An emotional rollercoaster, it'll have you in tears of joy... and tears of sorrow.

Valjean is on parole, having just served a brutal 19 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread for his sister and her child, both of whom were starving to death. He decides to break his parole agreement and start fresh, but the horribly persistent Inspector Javert just won't let go. Valjean is swept unwittingly into the revolution, and the group of young idealists he has hooked up with are forced to take their last stand behind a barricade in the streets.

The rousing, unforgettable show tunes come from the pen of the brilliant Claude-Michel Schönberg. The original French lyrics come courtesy of Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel. And the English libretto is by Herbert Kretzmer. The London production has been on stage non-stop since October 1985 and is the second longest-running musical on the planet. Enough said – go see it!

Absolutely fabulous show - tears and laughter
The most emotional I’ve ever felt at a theatre show, tears one moment, laughter the next. A fabulous production. The whole experience was enjoyable and easy - beautiful, comfortable theatre, friendly, helpful staff, inevitable queue for the ladies, but none for the bar!

Brilliant show in every respect
The singing was spot on, every role was played really well but especial good to see the child performers being supported on stage by actors.
Susan, 22 Mar 2025
Brilliant show
I love Les Mis. Having seen the touring show a few years ago, my partner wanted to see it for the first time, so who was I to complain about seeing it on the west end. Absolutely stunning show. The voices were amazing.
Matthew, 20 Mar 2025
Top class
Fantastic. Very enjoyable. Great sets. Brilliant preformers
Paul, 18 Mar 2025
Better than Broadway!
Les Mis is our favorite musical. We have seen high school productions, local professional productions, went to NYC to see it on Broadway. This was the BEST show we have seen. The main characters were portrayed so well. We cried, we laughed, we gasped. We took our son and daughter in law - they have never seen this musical, and are not really fans of musicals, and they both loved it too. Thank you!!
Rachel, 17 Mar 2025
Wow! Still the best!
Just as good, just as important today as when it opened in 1985! A part of history, a part of us all.
Patrick, 17 Mar 2025

Susan, 27 Feb 2025
Great Show
I always love this show but some of the singing was poor and sometimes screeching or out of tune particularly from the people who played Mario’s and Eponine
Michael, 26 Feb 2025
Immaculate
This was by far the best thing I've ever seen. I had to remind myself constantly that I was watching a live performance. I got lost in the story and felt the emotions. Pretty woman quote " better than pirates of Penzance,"
Catherine, 26 Feb 2025
Excellent Les Miserables version
Un clásico que nunca decepciona en una muy buena puesta .
Leandro, 25 Feb 2025

Brilliant shiw
Beautiful singing and so well acted. We will definitely be going to watch this again !
Marion, 07 Feb 2025
A rare, truly moving piece of theatre
Witnessing Les Mis live confirmed it’s a theatre staple for a reason. Everything about it was perfect, not a single actor was wrongly cast. It’s completely unlike listening to cast recordings and is so worth seeing live as it’s completely immersive.
Tess, 04 Feb 2025
Absolutely brilliant
The orchestra was phenomenal Acting and singing was amazing highly recommend
Marion, 04 Feb 2025
Boro Boy Done Brilliant
This musical has a very strong cast. Excellent music from the orchestra complimented the excellent performances from all the cast.
Joe, 04 Feb 2025
Brilliant show
Highly recommended a great theatre experience.
Felicity, 30 Jan 2025
Fast tempo and lack of feeling
Nice music and thematic effects of the show. However, the musical was very fast paced and sounded that everyone is rushing for time. Difficult to understand what are the performers singing and sometimes it sounded that there is a lack of feeling in the singing. It is not suitable for people who have no prior knowledge about the musical.
Fern, 29 Jan 2025
Les Mis
Outstanding - no other words suffice
Murdoch, 27 Jan 2025

Jullyn, 25 Jan 2025
5th time and it never disappoints!
Having not seen it for years it was marvellous to witness a new and fresh approach to tbis producton at the Sondheim. A Christmas present for my wife and we enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it to anyone who likes musical productions. An excellent Val Jean and Javarre too first class entertainment!
Richard, 24 Jan 2025
No se ve bien porque el teatro es muy estrecho.
Es una pena porque el espectáculo es increíble, he salido llorando de emoción, pero con dolor de espalda y cuello de estar echada hacia adelante para poder ver algo. Y estábamos en primera fila del segundo anfiteatro.
Mónica, 23 Jan 2025
One day more...

James, 07 Jan 2025
A wonderful experience
If you want to experience a magical night whilst visiting London you should go and watch Les Miserables at the Sondheim theater. There is nothing to fault about the show be it the music, acting, singing or props used.
Edmond, 07 Jan 2025
A well worthy watching show. Only seen the film, so watching it on stage was just perfect. Our daughter is doing drama for her GCSE’s and found this show exceptional.
Brilliant
Michael, 06 Jan 2025
As Amazing as Ever !!
It was so nice to return to London to see Les Mis after a beautiful theatre refurbishment. We were not disappointed watching it for our third time. It brings every emotion possible as I cried, laughed, cheered and constantly clapped when appropriate. We will return no doubt.

Emotionally drained! I cried so much with such beautifully performed music and songs. Superb acting, scenery, sound, everything. Amazing!
Catherine, 22 Dec 2024
3rd time watching and it just gets better !
I saw it on the 21st December 2024 and it was amazing everything from the start to the end! I’ve watched this a few times now and I really liked Javert, the acting for all is superb and voices mesmerising, I could easily have stayed a few more hours.
Ami, 21 Dec 2024
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.!
Wendy, 20 Dec 2024
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!
Lene Heitmann, 18 Dec 2024
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😃
Lars, 14 Dec 2024

Julie, 10 Dec 2024
Absolutely fantastic - Best Show Ever
Such a good show - the singing , costumes and set were just amazing. A truly moving story told with such talented performers. Love it and one i will never forget
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
Just Loved it!
Took my 16 year old Son and we loved it. Great experience to share.
Kate, 30 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.
