Good Points: Very good singing & acting.
Bad Points: It is way too long, almost 3 hours.
General comments: A storyline suitable for a lovesick 12 year old. There are some scenes which are plain unneccessary. You will need to switch off the brain if you want to enjoy the storyline - as it is flaky to say the least. I've seen most of the west end musicals, this is one of the poorer ones. The romance is nauseating, if a bloke behaved like that in real life he'd be held for stalking.

Les Miserables is a stunning musical full of heart and emotion with a storyline and characters that will make your heart melt and bleed. Sad and stunning with moments of priceless comedy and performers with faultless voices as the music does not lend itself to halfhearted and less than perfect singers.

I loved Les Mis. I thought it was a very powerful show and it really moved me. The singing was breathtaking and their voices soared around the whole theatre. The acting was very believable and I think without such good acting the show would not live up to the book. I have seen Les Mis once and I would love to see it again. It's the kind of show you can't really get bored of. It had me laughing and crying all at the same time. It emotionally touched my heart and I'm a strong person, there aren't ...

Les Miserables, being the first musical I ever saw, really sent my heart racing. If you're trying to decide on what show to go and see this should be your first choice! The original story has been fantastically moulded together with breathtaking songs and one of the most imaginative sets ever. After talking to a lot of people who I have strongly recommended this to they were concerned that the show looked a bit bleak; how wrong could they be. Although I have seen many shows after Les Mis this st ...

Les Miserables Broadway Show Review of 12/16/06
Showtime; 8:00 pm
Venue: Broadhurst Theatre, New York City
Seats; Orchestra M Row, Center, about 20 rows back from the stage
Les Mis is my favorite all-time musical. Since 1988, I've seen it sixteen times on Broadway, London, Boston and other cities. I have children that are now at an age that they can appreciate the story, and I was thrilled to hear that they were reviving the show.
I attended the 12/16/06 performance at 8pm wit ...

I went to go and see Les Miserables at the Queens Theatre, London. Some people said it was a great show, some people said it was ok. As I wasn't into sad shows much I felt that I wouldn't like it. As soon as the show started I was stuck in my seat with my eyes glued to the stage. Some bits got me in fits of laughter, some was a bit depressing. The only down side the show was that it dragged on a bit too long. The Thenardiers were marvellous and if I was ever going to be in Les Mis, that would be ...

Having been a Phantom fan for some years (seen it twice in London and once in New York) I thought it would be good to try Les Miserables, John Owen Jones was superb as Valjean, and his Bring Him Home was fantastic. The rest of the cast were brilliant, a very moving storyline with a love story set into the plot of the French Revolution. The revolving stage was very clever, and helped the plot move on quicker. Took my wife and two teenage daughters who also found it to be a great night out and ver ...

I must admit I am a Phantom of the Opera fan, but I did not think the difference would be so big. Les Miserables left me with nothing to sing in my head once I left the theatre unfortunately.
Too many story lines, and I am not clear which one you have to focus on: The revolution or the love, or the many other things?? Unfortunately, it did not touch my heart.

I didn't expect much when I went to see Les Miserables the musical, but I have to say "it was the BEST MUSICAL I have ever seen". Fantastic play, scenery, music - I was crying a river!
A must see show!

Les Miserables must be the best ever musical. I have never left a theatre where so many men are using tissues! It never fails to tug at the heart strings, even after seeing it 5 times. Jean Vale Jean's solo "Bring him Home" makes the hairs stand up on your neck, the finale leaves you in tears. No wonder it is now the 20th anniversary.

Les Miserables is a must. I have seen many musicals and apart from Miss Saigon no other comes near. The storyline introduces the main character as an angry young man who feels he as been wronged and his actions through sheer desperation lead him into what looks to be destined a life of toil until he escapes and takes off still angry. A kindly priest shelters him for the night and he repays him by stealing the silver but as he is caught and brought back to the scene of the crime the priest says ...
