| Our Review: |
Les Miserables was recently voted the nations favourite musical and it certainly lives up to its reputation. It is long (at 3 hours), and the story is pretty downbeat but it is compelling viewing.
The show is great, and is set to remain great…it’s already booking into 2010!

Review by Sarah, Epsom | We ALL thoroughly enjoyed Les Mis last night, even although we could see under the skirts sometimes as we were so close!! It seemed a lot better than I remember, having seen it probably about 20 years ago. There seemed to be more humour in it. | Review by Fiona, London | It's a musical masterpiece, the current cast are great. You would be really lucky to catch the wonderful John Addison on as Marius...fabulous! | Review by Hayley, Basildon | ABSOLUTELY GREAT!! The acting and singing is amazing! The stagecraft is genius, the storyline would appeal to everyone. MUST SEE | Review by Lian Cooper, London | The best musical to ever hit the west end stage, and long may it run! The cast that was in it till the beginning of this month were by far the best ever but its an undoubtedly brilliant show that everyone should see. Especially if John Owen Jones is in it. | Review by Nessie, London | A longer musical, more serious than most. | | |
