Absolutely Wonderful, Apr 25, 2009

reviewer: Jessica from London - See all reviews by Jessica

I have seen Les Mis many times and in many places, including Broadway and the touring show. This one beats them all.

The cast is phenomenal - Jean Valjean was perfect, he nearly brought me to tears with "Bring Him Home". Cosette's voice is stunning, and the entire cast has so much energy and spirit! I am already booking tickets again to bring friends once they come in town.

While the show IS 3 hours long, the time flies by and when it's over you look at your watch and wonder where the time went!

It does have some "more adult" scenes that might be a bit uncomfortable with small kids (though I first saw the show as a child, and fell in love with it - not to mention most of those scenes went straight over my head - so I wouldn't worry too much).

This is by far my favourite performance I have been to in the West End. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it!

First and Best perfomance ever seen!!!, Jun 14, 2009

reviewer: Driesch from UK Hounslow - See all reviews by Driesch

I went to this musical with my mates since my teacher was happy with our performance and wanted to give us a treat.
To be honest I really just went because my mates were going and it was going to be the first ever live performance I had seen and who better to watch it with than with your friends.
I expected some long boring evening but my God was I blown off my feet. Forget awesome and brilliant there were no words to describe the incredible performance by these actors. It felt like they were performing at their best just for me but I really knew that they would do the same every night with the same gusto which made me really happy since for once I got more than my money's worth.
I could actually feel the emotions of the actors emanating from their powerful, clear and majestic voices. It was hard to believe that a person like me would really enjoy this but after you watch it, it would be a sin against God to say that you feel asleep through the play.
To conclude this is a must see.Njoy

LES MISERABLES JUST FANTASTIC, Aug 06, 2008

reviewer: Anonymous from Kyle UK - See all reviews by Anonymous

When you watch this show you can understand why its been running for so long. The cast are amazing with some gritty performances{acting and singing} at the end of the show there was a standing ovasion. What was also pleasing was the theatre was a full house, the chairs were very comfy indeed. I cant't recommend this show highly enough also good for learning a bit of history

Les Mis review 8th Dec, Dec 16, 2008

reviewer: Richard Gent from London - See all reviews by Richard Gent

This is the second time I have seen Les Mis this year and again it was thoroughly enjoyable. Best voice for me is David Thaxton as Enjolras and favourite scene is the signing of 'Red and Black' where the students sing about the situation in the land and Marius about his newfound love. The only downside was the orchestra speeding up 'Master of the House' to a point where Jimmy Johnston could barely keep up.
A special mention also goes to Matthew Gent who played Marius. Well done Matt! Uncle R.
