Les Miserables Reviews

Out of all the musicals I have seen, Les miserables is still the best. If you don't like musicals and theatre don't go and see it coz you will be bored out of seat! But for the people who do enjoy musical- you need to go and see this. The story follows the life Jean Valjean who is being chased but Javert (police man) ...  Read the complete review

I've seen Les Miserables in London twice now, and I'm sure I'll always love it. Mostly I like the songs - the music is great, and always fitting. The story however is very complicated and long - simplified significantly from the book, of course, but still, well, long. The ending is also sad and depressing - good if you're ...  Read the complete review

Les Mis, what can I say, this is the most moving set of songs that you will find anywhere. I was first introduced to Les Mis in 1997 - the day of Diana's funeral, when the 10th anniversary concert was on the telly, and I was spellbound! The story is thought provoking and very emotional at times. It is dark and ...  Read the complete review

'les miserables' was the second musical i saw (the first one was 'west side story'). it was christmas holiday and i went with another 3 friends. the settings of the stage was excellent. most of the songs are nice, especially 'i dreamed a dream' (think this song is really touching!). i read the book before i went ...  Read the complete review

i was really looking forward to seeing this show and when i finally did get to see it i was very disappointed. the first thing i noticed was how bare and drab the production was - the scenery was minimalist and the best special effect was the start of the second act when the barricade is formed the production lasts ...  Read the complete review

Les Miserables was the first West End show that I actually saw when I arrived in London last September. It was a great night's entertainment! Ranging from light hearted banter in the taverna to the tragedy of the end, Les Miserables guided you through a whole range of emotion from beginning to end. Although the ...  Read the complete review

This was the first musical I ever saw and it left a lasting impression. Even now, when I perform some of the songs from it, it can move me to tears. Les Miserables is based on the novel by Victor Hugo and has a long and somewhat complicated plot. Before commenting more on the musical, I'll try to give a relatively brief ...  Read the complete review

This was the first musical that I went to see when arriving in London, and I expected rather more from it than it gave. At the time I enjoyed it, though it was a little long and the storyline kept getting lost. The second half was certainly better than the first half, it seemed that the show only really began after the ...  Read the complete review

This is definitely not a receonmended musical for those who don't enjoy theatre. It is rather long and there are a lot of twists and turns in the story. When i bought the ticket of this musical, i don't have any idea of the story at all. So a lot of times, i was having some difficulties to understand the storyline. For ...  Read the complete review

Wow! What a fantastic show! I have only seen it the once, so I'm not quite as much of a Les-Mis-Junkie as some I know, but I still know good Theatre when I see it (and the Phantom of the Opera was not it). The show was much better than the film that I have seen, although the story remains more or less the same, a ...  Read the complete review

Yes I am addicted to this show, I have seen it 4 times now & will go again & again. You either love it or hate it. I first went because my daughter kept singing the songs & it was her birthday treat so bought expensive seats, unfortuneatly the people surrounding us chatted loudly in Spanish throught the performance & I ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, as a word of caution for those of you who don't really like musicals, Les Miserable can be a long one. Having said that, for musical fans such as myself, this is an enjoyable musical to watch. The story is about an ex-convict Jean Valjean who, when released after 9 years of parole, found it extremely hard to get ...  Read the complete review

If you enjoy musicals then this is worth seeing, just by virtue of being around for so long! The sets are impressive and the music is enjoyable and it has a very strong storyline, although not 100% faithful to the book (which isn't surprising because if it was it would probably last 3 weeks, not 3 hours!). Unsurprisingly, given ...  Read the complete review
