Les Miserables in London

Embark on a poignant journey through revolutionary France with Les Misérables. Holding the crown as the longest-running musical in the West End, the Tony and Olivier Award-winning Les Misérables has attracted over 130 million people worldwide to see it. This superb adaptation of Victor Hugo's book is a timeless tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption that continues to fill its home at the Sondheim Theatre.

Why you should see Les Misérables

  • Les Misérables has been translated into 21 languages, including two Norweigan versions, six Spanish versions and two German versions.
  • An eight-time Academy Award nominated film adaptation of the musical was released in 2012.
  • Many big West End stars have performed in Les Misérables during its history including Kerry Ellis, Ramin Karimloo, Alfie Boe and Michael Ball.

What is Les Misérables about?

Les Miserables weaves a dramatic, edge-of-your-seat tale of revolution and romance and has been entertaining audiences since its opening in Paris more than three decades ago. It tells the moving story of the rebellious but reformed character, Jean Valjean, a man who is tormented by a relentless police officer called Javert in 19th century Paris as the French Revolution rages all around. It’s heart-breaking stuff, with romantic interest provided by the student Marius who falls deeply in love with Cosette. As Javert becomes ever more of a threat to the rebels, confrontations are inevitable. But love eventually triumphs despite everything...

‘The musical to end all musicals’

A surprising number of songs from Les Miserables have become hits in their own right, independent of the musical, and you’ll adore the show’s endless stream of beautiful ballads and moving anthems. Some of Les Misérables' biggest hits include "I Dreamed a Dream", "On My Own" and "Do You Hear The People Sing?" and "Bring Him Home".

With its combination of powerful music, compelling characters, and timeless themes of justice and redemption, experience a slice of West End history with a visit to Les Misérables.

BEST Musical ever - even better the 2nd time

Quite simply this is an extraordinary performance! Took my 13 year old daughter who wasn’t entirely convinced and we were both enthralled from start to finish. The strength of vocals was in some instances quite breathtaking - we laughed and cried. What a treat - even better than I ever remembered.

Good show, very loud

The show was ok, I wouldn’t recommend, the actors mouths wasnt moving in time with the songs so wasn’t even singing it, technically problem 40mins in, which I know can’t be helped, letting people in late to the show which meant we couldn’t see why they was looking for there seats 🤦🏼‍♀️! Show seemed very dark, the whole theatre is very compact, a lot of woman toilets but not for the Men and very small rest room! I would not return here!

Though the music and scenery was amazing, the acting and singing from some of the characters was not believable and interrupted the engagement and immersive experience. The seating of the theatre is not great. Although our seats had non restrictive views, other audience members did make it so by leaning forward or being out of their seats throughout the performance. For the first time in along time I couldn’t wait for the performance to be over, which is a shame because there were some excellent performances from some of the characters in the show.
