I loved every thing about my experience. The Les Miserábles show is just a 5-10 minute walk from the Piccadilly Circus station, is in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, and an absolutely beautiful building and show. The experience itself had me sobbing and cheering and feeling witht he characters the entire time, and afterwards, I could only think of Les Mis. Could not recommend enough.

For many years I had wanted to see this show, as this is my favourite musical. I had very high expectations, and this show managed to surpass them. The production was beautiful and the actors were amazing. The story is very moving, I was in tears by the end. If I ever come back to London I will definitely be seeing this show again.

Adapted from Victor Hugo’s novel and reborn as a record-smashing musical and blockbuster film, this London classic resonates with dreamers, rebels, and romantics.

Olivier and Tony awards crown its success, with Cameron Mackintosh producing, Claude-Michel Schönberg composing, and a star cast led by Killian Donnelly.

Themes of justice, redemption, and love collide with its famous revolving stage and rousing anthems like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "Do You Hear the People Sing?".

Since 1985, it has been the West End’s longest-running musical, dazzling 130+ million worldwide and having been translated into 21 languages with performances in 53 countries.

With 392 costumes, 85 wigs, and seamless staging, this theatrical feat brings 19th-century France to life on a breathtaking scale. Book your Les Misérables London tickets today!

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?

The current London production of Les Misérables is nothing short of breathtaking. This isn't just a musical; it's an epic theatrical experience that perfectly translates the scope and emotion of Victor Hugo's novel to the stage. Production and Pace: Given that the show attempts to cover numerous key moments from the novel, the run time clocks in at well over 2 hours and 30 minutes. This substantial duration is managed by the incredibly fast pace of the storytelling. The technical team deserves high praise, as the rapid changes in set design (scenography) and costuming are executed with flawless precision. The staging is truly top-notch and a major highlight of the experience. Music and Performance: Musically, the show is every bit as enjoyable as one expects. However, the principal cast members truly stand out. Their voices are utterly stunning and powerful, ensuring every iconic number is delivered with maximum impact. You will be captivated by the sheer talent on stage. Practical Recommendations: Due to the play's considerable length and intense narrative themes, I would recommend it for audience members aged 15 and over. Regarding seating, I was situated in an upper section and, for a price under £70, I had a very good overall perspective of the stage. However, if your budget allows, I would strongly recommend securing a seat further down in the theatre. A closer view would allow you to appreciate the intricate details of the stage direction and set construction, which are worth seeing up close.

Not just an amazing stage show, great actors and incredible voices but the theatre staff were great. Efficient, nice and made the day a great experience. One of the easier theatres to navigate; they are not difficult but this was very well laid out and no queues at any point of the day.

My first West End show couldn't have been a better experience. It was so easy to get there, get sat in my seat, and enjoy the atmosphere. The show was phenomenal, the sets were gorgeous and the cast was so incredibly talented. Will 100% be coming back to see another!
