LES MISERABLES JUST FANTASTIC

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

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.

THANKS A MILLION

We saw Les Mis. fri.23rd jan.with our six year old son. He had a great time and what made it special was we had been playing the shows CD in the car for a few weeks.every time a song was sung it kept his interest in the show and didnt allow him to lose concentration. From all three of us to the Cast and Staff at the Queens Theatre Thanks a Million for a brilliant night. John Lucy James.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

We came to see the show on Friday 30th Jan 2009. I have waited an absolute life time to see this show. What a show. It was everything and more than I could ever have imagined. I was mesmerised from start to finish. I loved it. I laughed, I cried. Fantastic. I cant wait to see it again. Well done to all the cast, they are outstanding.

BRILLIANT!

5.0 star rating Chris from Cheshire

STILL GOING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND STILL THE BEST.

I've seen this show 5 times over 16 years. It doesn't seem to matter where it's performed or who is in it, it is still just absolutely the best show in town. Strong, passionate, deeply moving with an hilarious interlude, and every song a showstopper. Each time we've taken different guests. All of them are blown away by it. If you want quality from every aspect of a production then this is for you. Entertainment at its best. Actually, just writing about it is reminding me I might need another fix of it soon.

5.0 star rating Ian Bateman from Durham, England

SIMPLY FANTASTIC

I was worried it wouldn't match up to the recording of the 10th Anniversary DVD. I need not have worried. I can't pick anyone out for special mention because everyone of the cast were simply fantastic. I can't imagine there is a better show anywhere. Thank you all for a wonderful evening's entertainment

5.0 star rating Sarah Lewis from South Wales

AMAZING,A MUST SEE.

I saw this show yesterday afternoon and was enthralled from the moment the curtain rose. After watching 10th Anniversary dvd until it wore out I knew I was in for a treat. An outstanding and highly talented cast make Les Miserables a must see. Can't wait to come back!

5.0 star rating Jessica from London

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL

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!

5.0 star rating Rachel from San Francisco,CA

AMAZING

Brilliant performance. I have been a fan of the musical for years and was completely blown away, and in tears by the finale. To me, Javert stood out the most. He was so convincing and left me with chills. I will be definitely telling my friends to check out Les Miz next time they're in London.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

We came to the matinee show on Weds 27 May. Due to problems with the wheelchair, we were late. The tickets via an agency were no good for a wheelchair user and the manager immediately put us in the dress circle. The staff were very helpful and could not have been more so. The show is amazing and the mechanics of it even more so with props which drop out of the sky and knit like a jigsaw. The singers all had excellent voices and the chorus was all enthusiastic. Well done everyone!

5.0 star rating Driesch from UK Hounslow

FIRST AND BEST PERFOMANCE EVER SEEN!!!

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

BEST SHOW EVER

My wife, daughter and I saw Le Miserables at the Queens theatre on July 16th, 2009. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the performance. The entire production was brilliant. All the actors, not just the leads were fantastic. We were particularly impressed by the little girl who played the young Cosette. Having volunteered to build sets myself for several local productions, I was very impressed with the sets. In particular, I thought the rotating floor and how it was used was pure genius. Bravo on a job well done.

5.0 star rating Maeve Bergin from Dublin, Ireland

BEST MUSICAL THEATRE EXPERIENCE EVER.

I just love this show and have seen it at least 30 times. We travel to London from Dublin at least 3 times a year and go to see Les Mis each time. It is such a strong show - it has comedy, sadness fantastic music and lyrics and each time I see it I am amazed by the talented cast. Do not miss it if you are in London. My 13 year old son just loves it as well and I think you could take anyone to see it except perhaps children under 8 as it might be a little too long for them.

WORLD'S LONGEST RUNNING MUSICAL

I saw Les Mis yesterday for the 4th time. It was the third time I have taken a coach party. I had 2 coaches yesterday (110 tickets) and that makes 5 coaches over the years. I just adore the show and the seats (I was sitting in row L)were superb with plenty of leg room. Just one comment though which I can't be the first to mention. You must be aware that anyone who has ever walked down Shaftesbury Avenue and is then faced in a pub quiz with the old chestnut long running stock question "What is the Worlds Longest Running Musical?" would immediately answer Les Mis as that is what it says above the entrance. And then of course they all get it wrong because The Fantasticks which ran for 42 years on Broadway is a rather longer run than 24 years in London. How do you square that advertising claim of the WORLDS longest running Musical with the trade descriptions Act?

5.0 star rating Vic from Yorkshire United Kingdom

WONDERFUL

I have seen Les Mis many times and have the Royal Albert Hall Anniversary DVD, l`m in my 60's but the passion, and the sheer magnitude of this musical always makes me cry, it`s just wonderful

5.0 star rating Birol Mehmet from London, England

SIMPLY AMAZING

I am a regular theatre-goer and have seen many, many shows, but Les Miserables has to be my all time favourite show. I have lost count the number of times I have seen it but it still moves me like no other show does. It is dramatic, it is funny, but above all it contains songs that stay with you long after the curtain falls. 54 million people have seen the show worldwide and its no wonder it has become a such a phenomena.

5.0 star rating Nicki from North Yorkshire

UNBEATABLE

I first saw Les Mis in 1987 and was dreading going but didn't want to let my parents down as they had paid for the tickets. How glad I am that my conscience got the better of me because it was, and is, a truly wonderful experience. The only negative is that, following Les Mis, I saw Phantom, Miss Saigon and other big name productions and was disapointed in each and every one of them. None compared in terms of story, quality of music, lyrics or atmosphere. I'm on the site to book to see it again - for the 23rd time! (yes, it really is that good!)

A STUDENT REVIEW.

When coming to Queen's Theatre yesterday, I was not particularly sure what to expect, I came on a College trip and the other trips we had gone on were not so good, but I was pleasantly suprised, extremely so in fact. The performance of Les Miserable was nothing but pure genious, it was unbelievably inspiring and so extraordinarily beautiful that it wasn't long before I was sobbing. The settings are fantastic, aswell as the lighting and music, the singing was completely phenominal, the cast so completely believable that I was able to be absorbed from my current state into the world that was being brought to the stage, they were brilliant and everything about it brought back to me my long lost love for theatre. I strongly recommend that anyone who hasn't yet seen it most definately should as it was so very dramatic aswell as comical, the story is fantastic and I left the theatre with nothing my fantastic remarks to say about it.

I HAD A DREAM

I to had a dream,and on July 11,2009 arrived in London from New Orleans,the following Wednesday I went to the Queens Theater to follow that dream and see LesMiserables,now almost a year later I am still singing the music in my head,Now I am 74 and dreaming one day going back to London and see my beloved Les Miserables once again, Who knows if I ever get there,but the magic I experienced will last all the days of my life, Thank you cast,crew,orchestra,and all who brought my dream alive.JoanRussellGilkes

LES MIS

Les Mis rocks. I am glad I did not miss the production when I went to London in March. The production crew made great use of the stage and the cast was fantastic. Jean Valjean's tenor voice brought out a hauntingly beautiful Bring Him Home. Eponine's mezzo-soprano was painfully bittersweet in her On My Own. And Cosette's soprano hit all the right notes. The amazing score and lyrics moved me so much I cried so many times. Kudos too to the orchestra. A brilliant musical and not to be missed.

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH

I have now seen Les Mis 30 times, the last one being Fri 14th May 2010. I saw it 20 times at the Palace theatre and 10 now at the Queens. This passion has been on-going since 1990. I have seen Miss Saigon and Phantom, Aspects all into double figures, but Les Mis is the Daddy of them all. The most memorable performance was on the evening of Sat 27 March 2004. That was the Final Performance at the Palace Theatre. Every scence change commanded rapturous applause, and at the end, it was like being at a Cup Final, everyone was going crazy. I still get that same buzz every time those first notes play. Any other Les Mis nuts out there? Chris G

I WAITED 25 YEARS TO SEE THIS PRODUCTION

The reason is that 25 years ago, it was booked for the first 4 years, then after that it was 2 years, 18 months, 12 months etc., by which time I had moved to Wiltshire. My two daughters bought me tickets for the production on Saturday June 26, knowing I had waited so long. Well what a performance, it exceeded all my expectations. The actors were magnificent. Jean Valjean has always been my favourite character, and Simon Bowman was exceptional. But this does not in any way detract from the other actors, they were magnificent and the whole production was totally believable. When you go to the theatre you expect to be transported to another world, believe me, this was another world and the whole experience for me was FANTASTIC. Thank you everyone the Actors, Production Team, anyone involved.

MARIUS

Les Mis at Queens Theatre was great. Nick Jonas was amazing and impressive as Marius, with a powerful voice and excellent acting skills. He made the show for me. I would recommend anyone to go and see this show. We also had a great view in the stalls.

MAGIC

It was last year when I got a surprise ticket to this musical, for my birthday. I dreamed to see it before. I was left without words all the show. Now I want to return the surprise for my boyfriend's birthday and buying tickets to go. I got in love with all that music and living stage.

SPECTACULAR!

I loved the show! The singers blew me away and the stage sets and props were also amazing! We did Les Mis as a school production, seeing how it is performed on the west end really helped our show! Thank you! x

We first saw 'Les Mis' 23 years ago with the original London cast. We saw it again today and were again transfixed. It has lost nothing over the years and the cast were fantastic. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. There aren't enough superlatives to say how we really feel about the show.

IT WAS ADORABLE

I have seen LesMis now a 2nd time with a friend last monday (13.09.10) in London. I was thrilled again by the whole ensemble, but especially from Simon Bowman as Valjean. For me personally the best with Colm Wilkinson. It was an evening, which was gorgeous, adorable, wonderful, PERFECT for me. Thanks to you for the great evening... Claudia

5.0 star rating Dave from Birmingham, UK

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

What a show! The second time I've seen as I was taking a friend along, so thought it would lose its impact, but not at all. The songs are tremendous - emotive, well delivered, great choreography to match. All of the leads and extras were brilliant and thoroughly convincing for the majority of the performance, with the female leads particularly impressing. I was sat in the upper circle so expecting a poor view, but in fact the only slightly obstructed part of the stage was the front left corner, which was hardly used anyway. Most of the action happens in the centre of the stage, so everyone has a good view. I would certainly recommend anyone to see this (except perhaps small children, but even they would probs enjoy it), and would recommend the Rainforest Cafe restaurant nearby as a fun and tasty place to eat - especially good for families. Overall, this was a great performance, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

LES MISERABLES - BLOWN AWAY

My husband had seen the show many years ago and kept saying he must take me to see it. Well for his birthday this year I gave him the opportunity by buying tickets for the 8th Dec. matinee. He was not wrong, I was blown away. Even as the cast must have changed several times during the gap of him seeing it before he too was still impressed. Well done to all those in front and behind the scenes. I will definitely recommend this show to others plus try to see it again in the future. Long may it run!!!

I cried, I laughed, I was spellbound - how do the cast make this magic? Just as fresh, exhilarating and spell binding as when I first saw it 15 years ago and worth every penny.The pure energy coming from the stage never ceased and nearly 3 hours passed by with the audiences rapturous attention. In the gentle parts you could hear a pin drop and everyone was caught up in the vervour of the 'cause' - not enough words to praise. Thank you. I am already booking up my next show. NEVER EVER STOP!!!

I've seen Les Mis about 30 times in all the english speaking countries. So I was looking forward to wednesday's matinee, the one before THE wedding. This was by far the best Jalvert I have ever seen. Powerful vocals, brilliant acting, absolutely breath-taking! 10/10. *****

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE

Me and my sister took our mum to see Les Miserables in the Queens Theatre for her 60th birthday last week, as she loves the music and none of us had ever seen it. Well, it was the most amazing show I have ever seen. My mum and sister loved it, I was amazed, emotional and in awe. Until seeing the show I had only listened to the songs and not really understood the story very well behind it. I had tears in my eyes on many occasions at the brilliant acting that went along with the fabulous voices.....wow...I will definately be taking another trip to London to see it again. You are in for a real treat if you go and watch it, enjoy, I cant rate it highly enough. Thankyou to the actors and singers from myself and a very appreciative audience. We sat in row G in the stalls we had a great view.

BEST THEATRE PRODUCTION I HAVE EVER SEEN

To say that i didn't know the storyline at all is was so easily explained. I could watch this so many times over and over I really enjoyed, its a shame I don't live closer. All the cast had great voices and the whole thing so was well put together. We had seats in the stalls and it was such a great view where you can see everything. I would definately recommend this to anyone that doesn't know what to go and see.

NO DOUBT WE WILL GO AND SEE THIS SHOW MANY TIMES MORE

Went to watch this show today (10/09/2011) at Londons Queens Theatre for the first time and we were absolutley spellbound. Tears, laughter, tension amongs many other emotions. Singing was fabulous, cast were fabulous. We have no doubt in our minds we will go watch this show many more times. I myself am not a big fan of musicals and agreed to go watch this as my partner really wanted to see it, but I can truley say with all my heart, thank goodnees I went. If you are planning to see a show, we really recommend les miserables. As soon as the show ends, you will want to go back to the booking office and buy tickets for the next show. Fantastic!!

BEST SHOW EVER

What an incredible production. I have seen Les Miserables in New York in 2001 Watched the 25th anniversary show at the O2 about 20 times. Needless to say I had to see it again, so we flew from Orange County California to see it at the Queens Theater in London last week. Alfie Boe is incredible. absolutely exceptional. Sadly I feel It won't be the same when he leaves in late November. So, we decided we are flying all the way back to London to see him one more time on November 17th.

I have seen the show many times and seeing it again on Saturday was fantastic! RAMIN KARIMLOO sung Bring Him Home so brilliantly that the audience were on their feet.

I visited the queens theatre last night to watch les mis for the first time and was totally entertained. I experienced the full range of emotions from tears to laughter.

LES MISERABLES

I had seen the show before at a larger theatre many years ago, I took my wife on 13 October 2012. The Queens theatre is so intimate and for me made the performance very special. The stage effects and performance of all the cast was sublime and extraordinary, it was electric. I could not remember to much of the first time I saw this show simple because I think it was at a much larger theatre and you probably loose the intimacy. This show was truly outstanding a must see and bring plenty of tissues..!! All of the performances were incredible and so believable and in several scenes I was was an emotional wreck especially when Jean Viljean started Bring him home it was beautiful. A huge thank you to the cast and crew for a memorable day and can't wait to go again

WONDERFUL

I saw a lot of Musicals but this one was really the best. Congratulations to this cast and the responsile people. Without using a lot of effects and reduced to the wonderful music presented by the best singers and actors. This is musical at its best. Thanks a lot for these moments.

PERFECT

The performance was spectacular. I have read the book and I must admit that the musical exceeded my expectations - it managed to capture the main events and make them even more emotionally charged. If you are an emotional person bring tissues with you because I sure cried. One of my friends admitted seeing the musical on Broadway and he said that the actors here were better. I agree with this statement. We were able to struggle with Fantine, grow as a better person along with Jean Valjean, feel an unrequited love and suffer through the death of people we love. Even the evil characters were played by marvelous actors. They were so good that we grew to hate them - the Tenardiers were even BOOED at the end. This musical has everything love, loss and tragedy but still leaves you with hope and you leave with a lighter soul. Totally worth seeing a time or 10. To tell you the truth even now I am listening to the soundtrack, so it is definitely a seven-star production.

SIMPLY PHENOMENAL

I went to see the show yesterday. It was the 4th time I've seen it, though it had been a while since my 3rd. I have to say I was "re-blown away" by the show. The singing was simply phenomenal, especially "I Dream a Dream", "Who Am I?", "Empty Chairs At Empty Table" and of course "Do You Hear The People Sing". Well done to all the cast.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Have seen the film twice & didn't know if I would like the stage show as lovely Hugh Jackman isn't in it! What can I say, I needn't have worried, it was absolutely amazingly wonderful. Someone said going to the theatre is like watching a film in 3D, it takes you over & drags you in. The fantastic acting, the beautiful voices, making you believe you are there with them. What a wonderful cast lead by the brilliant Geronimo Rauch, how many times he made me cry during that performance I lost count, but I warn you take a lot of tissues because you will need them. My hands ached with all the clapping & my throat was sore with all the cheering, it was so worth it, I would go every day if I had the chance. Many congratulations to all the people involved in this production, it certainly made members of the audience escape from reality for a few fantastic hours of pure pleasure. Thank you Les Miserables it was absolute magic & I loved it XxXx

LES MIS NEVER LETS YOU DOWN

Saw the show for the 3rd time of 2013 last Thursday. I know all the lyrics, all the movements. The show never ever disappoints. I seen the understudy of Valjean Mr chris Holland twice and Geronimo Rauch once both are exceptional. The outstanding Tam Mutu as Javert, the stunning Danielle Hope as Eponine. From the very first beat the music is so impactive. I think I need to see it again (for the 32nd time) with the beautiful Carrie Fletcher paying Eponine

STILL AMAZING AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS

What a fantastic and powerful performance by cast and orchestra. My husband and I saw Les Mis at the Palace Theatre in London 22 years ago. Then we were seated in the front row and had a blast during the pub scene right in front of us. This time our 14 year old daughter had chosen Les Mis because she wanted to see Carrie Fletcher play the adult Eponine. She is following her on Twitter and she used to play young Eponine when she was 8 years old, so that is very special and she was amazing and has the most beautiful voice en presence. We both cried when she died and cheered the loudest for her when the show finished. What a fantastic set and amazing circle stage turning around. Also the barricades connecting from both sides was incredible and we had a great view from the stalls seats looking straight at the top. It was the highlight of our London trip and an unforgettable experience for our daughter. MANY THANKS!

IT WAS MAGNIFICENT

I saw this show back in the 80's, but this time I was joined by my daughter and grand daughter (who loves singing and wants to be on the stage). It was an absolutely Magical evening. We had dinner in China Town before the show, and after the show met some of the stars at the stage door. Sophie got her picture taken with her idol Carrie who played the role of Eponine plus autographs and pictures and many others. It is her dream to be in Les Mis and play the role of Eponine when she is older.

THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN.

I am a huge musical theatre fan, and as a 20th birthday present my grandmother decided to book a trip for us both to see my favourite musical of them all, Les Miserables. I was worried as I thought she may be dissapointed with the stage show (she had turned off my concert dvds in boredom many times before) but she loved it almost as much as I did. The cast were excellent, especially Carrie Hope Fletcher as Eponine, and Adam Linstead filling in for Thenardier! My favourite had to be Anton Zetterhom as Enjolras who (as well as being my favourite character) was the closest Enjolras I had seen to the character in the book. Best show, best cast!

UNMISSABLE - ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

After watching the film for years and then the O2 performance and new movie as well as reading the book I finally got to see this performance, an anniversary present from my husband, and it was amazing! I cried, I laughed and sat on the edge of my seat throughout. A must see for any Les Mis fans or to be honest anyone at all, it can't fail to mesmerise and I can not wait to go back again.

POWERFUL, HEARTBREAKING, INSPIRING

Les Mis at Queens demonstrates that film with all its mega bucks can never touch the soul quite like live theatre. The talent and passion of the performers and the superb staging and music made it an exhilarating but emotionally draining evening. As the Big Brother dolts tritely say: it was a journey.

OUTSTANDING

I first saw the show 2 years ago . My husband and I came for our wedding anniversary. As soon as the performance started MY eyes welled up, so emotional. I am coming again with my daughter she arrives from Australia this month then a couple of days later we come to London to see the show. We always said next time she was in the UK we would go. We are both really excited at seeing the show, Can't wait to see her reaction.

TRIUMPH

I have just seen the show for the eighth time. Still makes me cry every time. (July 2014) Current Thenardier's quite different but fantastic. Very impressive Javert and Jean Valjean. All round marvellous. Brought my kids and their partners this time, they all loved it too. Here's to the 50th anniversary.....i'll be there!

What we thought

revolutionary Jaw Dropping ICONIC.

The world has embraced 'Les Mis' with both arms.

As the first trumpet sounded and the curtain rose I was sucked into 19th century France along with the inner turmoil of our hero Jean Valjean, played by the fantastic Killian Donnelly.
