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.

Deeply moved by the showI witnessed an unforgettable show that shook me through with emotions between hilariously funny and breathtakingly sad. The acting crew and musicians were overall fantastic; sound, lighting etc. did their share to help bring the complex story come to life. I was surprised by the number of younger children brought to watch as I think the story is rather suitable for more mature teens and adults, and the interpretation is very intense. For me, this was clearly an early highlight of this year's UK travels.

Left at interval as didn’t enjoy a moment. Oh well ! No Melodie’s to remember. Slap-stick which my opinion didn’t work with the general gendre of the script.

Too populisticThe 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.
