The Queen's Theatre is a relatively small venue (no bad seats), good acoustics, and amazing stage props for the cafe, barrier, etc. scenes. Well acted, amazing presentation (rotating floor used to show walking over long distances, fog machine used sparingly with innovative lighting to provide apparent depth and ghostly apparition. This was the highlight of our London visit.

Les Miserables is a book all should read. The play makes the story interesting and shows quality acting, etc. It is not a substitute for the book

The longest running musical in history and I can understand why. The atmosphere was electric and the audience spell-bound throughout. As a life-long theatre goer, it’s one of the best musicals that I’ve seen.

I absolutely loved this show - the emotion, the songs, the set design. It's absolutely brilliant and definitely a must-see for theatre lovers.

We left buying the tickets to the last minute, and I think got the last 4 seats in the house as it was Easter Holidays, and it ended up costing 110 pounds a ticket. But definitely worth it. I've seen the show twice before in Australia but this was by far the best! Amazing performances, terrific set. Valjean was excellent.... More

Amazing show!!! Truly a must see, tickets are pricey and the layout of The Queens Theatre is terrible - we picked the restricted view £35 as others were started at £75. It did cut off the top of the stage but besides the barricade scene you didn't miss anything.

wow what can i say.....I've waited years to see this show and it certainly didn't disappoint. The current cast are superb and i don't think there was a dry eye in the house by the end of the show, highly recommended for anyone who hasn't seen it.

My daughter has wanted to see this musical for years and we finally did , it did not disappoint and far exceeded our expectations. The cast were superb, the set and lighting were brilliant - it was outstanding. The stage production is so much better than the film it is much more powerful, emotional and easier to follow - I...

One of the best musicals we've seen. The music matches the Phantom while the performance of this London cast is superb. Haven't seen the movie but don't think it can beat the London musical.
