Newest Review: ... it live for my 17th birthday. I truely loved every minute. There is some magic in a live performance that you could never get from a CD recording. The performers were absolutely top-notch, singing and acting their hearts out. I particularly loved the actors in the roles of Jean Valjean and Javert.

 ... wonderful. However, what really brought the house down for me was the whole ensemble songs which come at the end of Act 1 and Act 2. They were so powerful and the audience was literally hanging off the edge of their seats! I saw this show with my dad, and ...more

Les Miserables has been running at the Palace Theatre for many years and is one of the longest (if not THE longest) running musicals in London. I had been a fan of Les Miz (as it's known to fans) since my early teens and finally got to see it live for my 17th birthday. I truely loved every minute.

It all began in Marseilles... I have always liked Les Miserables, since about the age of 12 I guess. I don't know what it is that takes my breath away every time I see it, but I have never been to a performance anything other than stunning. I suppose that the words and lyrics are the main component that make this musical what it is. Poignant and eye-opening, Les Miserables tells the story of Jean Valjean, an escaped missionary prisoner during the French revolution. It is the intimate, yet astounding performance and role of each character that make this performance what it is. The diversity allows it to be played in so many different ways, ...
