What's it all about?
Olivier Awards 2012 winner!
If you had to pick just one of our wonderful shows to go and see, Les Misérables – named the nation’s favourite musical in a BBC poll – would be it.
This epic tale of revolution, redemption and romance has been stunning audiences since it first opened in Paris more than 30 years ago. But, as stirring as the story is, it’s the music that really makes the show.
Many of the songs, from achingly beautiful ballads to epic anthems, have become famous in their own right. So if you’ve ever heard 'Bring Him Home' at a remembrance service or seen Susan Boyle deliver 'I Dreamed a Dream' and want to find out the story behind the songs, go and see this.
Who's in it?
Over the years, Les Misérables musical has attracted many greats, with Michael Ball’s Marius a particular highlight and the nation’s favourite tenor Alfie Boe taking on Jean Valjean at the 25th anniversary concert in 2010.
David Shannon will play Jean Valjean from Tuesday 3 April to Saturday 16 June. Geronimo Rauch will play Jean Valjean from Monday 18 June.
And even if you don’t know any of the tunes as you take your seat, you'll be won over by the sheer range – from the heart-wrenching 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables', to the desperately romantic 'On My Own' and the rousing 'Do You Hear the People Sing?'.
Suitable for
Les Misérables has a unique ability to inspire devotion among all who see it. Something about the combination of a compelling love story and a fight against injustice, all wrapped up in exhilarating melodies, makes this the musical to end all musicals.
Best of all, it’s as much a date night show as it is one to take your Mum to, and kids will be inspired by the child stars and awesome sets.
What's the story?
You'll be moved by the story of Jean Valjean (Ramin Karimloo), the reformed man who is dogged by relentless officer of the law Javert (Hadley Fraser), and swept up in the spirit of revolution alongside the underdogs of 19th century Paris.
Your heart will break for Éponine as dashing young student Marius falls for Cosette. And as Javert closes in and things look bad for the rebels, the stage is set for confrontations and confessions, but perhaps also the redemptive power of love.
So don’t be put off by the title. This is no depressing weepy, and the cunning landlord Thénardier and his wife provide more than enough comic relief.
Staff Reviews
I saw it as a birthday treat and can easily call it one of the best shows the West End has to offer. It may not seem like the best material for a musical - orphans, oppression, revolutionary battles, death - but there are so many layers of story. As for its music, it was one soundtrack that I bought and listened to on a loop for weeks! Les Mis really is a perfect night at the theatre.
Les Mis has everything - raw emotional performances, a gritty plot and some great moments of comedy provided by Monsieur and Madame Thenardier. It is filled with hit musical numbers - many of the greatest show songs are featured here. Whether you're an avid theatregoer or are experiencing the delights of the West End for the first time, Les Mis is one of those shows everybody just has to see at least once in their lifetime.
What the critics say
For sheer musical theatre spectacle and an emotional roller coaster, it quite rightly remains the best show in town
There are many moments that send shivers of excitement racing down the spine, others when it is overwhelmingly moving
Les Misérables is a rousing, shamelessly entertaining evening of tuneful and spectacular popular theatre
Customer Reviews
We thoroughly enjoyed the show which seemed as fresh and lively as it's first showing. The classic numbers were like old friends but there was much more to the music and the action than we were expecting. Excellent
Sound, set, cast all brilliant ....show was fabulous - lady next to me was visibly moved a lot sooner than me, but I am a bit of old boot ! Even so I thoroughly enjoyed the show & was quite overwhelmed towards the end. We arrived a few moments late & had to wait until show about 15 minutes in before being shown to our seats - the theatre staff were very helpful. We were not the only ones waiting and a member of staff was allotted to each waiting group. We were shown in with the minimum of fuss & disruption. Overall a fantastic theatre experience. The only negative - the live pictures from the theatre on the tv screen in the lobby were very poor.
Les Miserables was the first show I've been to in my life where everyone, and I mean everyone, gave a standing ovation. Indescribably superb and is an absolute must.
Amazing, the seats were fantastic four rows from the front. I wasn't prepared for the intensity of the show which was enhanced by being so close to the stage. It is a long show and sung throughout. Don't miss it.
Everything I thought it would be and more. Cried four times. Will definitely go again.
Having seen the show on DVD many years ago and listened to the soundtrack on many occasions the show blew me away, The props along with the revolving stage were magnificent, the cast from the children up were superb reducing me to tears by the final death scene. Thank you so much.
