Les Miserables is an absolute cracker of a play. I went to see it with my school and was expecting something boring and butt aching to sit through, but the time flew by and I enjoyed every bit of it. The actors are excellent and there is great use of slow motion and a revolving turntable. A corker!

This is the 4th time I have seen this show. It was brilliant as usual and I cried as usual! The cast were all excellent and 3 hours whizzed by. I would have gone to see it again the very next day! FANTASTIC

Absouletly briliant, simply one of the best musicals of all time, the singing quality and performances are like nothing else in the west end.
If you want to have a laugh with friends go and watch grease, but if you want to see a proper musical that will not only take your breath away in terms of music but in the story, then les mis is the one to see.
Anyone who thinks this is no good, simply does not understand what a old school musical should be about.
If you are coming to london and can only s ...

The music is spectacular and even after seeing 4 different versions of the show, the casting was perfect every time. The scenery and staging are stunning and the emotion portrayed is immense. The most spectacular musical of all time! Les Miserables a must see!

I went to see the Les Miserables on 17 feb, I have seen this show many times but thought this night everything and everybody were wonderful the main charactors and ensemble worked so hard to bring emotion to their parts that I sat transfixed for the three hours, long may this production run and I would strongly recommend it. Every part of the show was magical!

The story is very moving and there is a depth to it. Les Miserables has Superb stage dramatics and effects which add convincing dynamism. Actors gave it their all with no weak singers and orchestra (forgotten heroes) were amazing. Nice theatre staff and no rush at interval for drinks (upper circle).Definitely in the top few to see; you won't be disappointed. It is a visual and auditory feast. I think Younger audiences 12 upwards would get a lot out of it.

If you want to throw away upwards of £55 per person (ticket only; stalls) for 3 hours of excessive singing drivel - then this is for you! The excess singing is ridiculous, singing absolutely every single sentence is absurd. This show is poor take on...Opera. As for the historic French plot being dumbed down with cockney tom-foolery... do me a favour. The actors performances were strong - but to what ends? I just don't get it! The orchestra were excellent. How this West End show has laste ...

Overall, I thought that the film was amazing and you can get very involded with all of the characters. All the Characters in Les Mis are very beleviealbe but I don't think that I would recommend it! But that is only what I think about the concert version of Les Mis but apart from that I think it was amazing!

More a modern opera than simple musical, sung all the way through in demi-recitative fashion. Grand, opulent and wonderfully harmonic. My family and I were transfixed by the superb range of voices, acting and lovely music. Standing ovation at the end, and this was a matinee. Not many shows can boast that, surely. The leads were all excellent, rich bass/baritone through glorious tenor and onto the ladies voices of purity and impressive range.
Well done the whole cast, a sombre and serious show i ...

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 ...

Les Miserables is my best West End show. The acting singing dancing is fantastic all the way through

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.
