The show is amazing. The theatre a little cramped compared to more modern ones but has a good bar overlooking the street. More

This show is definitely worth going to see. Wasn't sure what it was about so did research on net, thought it might be a bit heavy going but as I had already agreed to go with a friend decided to give it a shot. Well the storyline was easier to follow than I imagined it would be and I thoroughly... More

It is impossible to miss this theatre with the huge Les Mis billboards, however on first glance, as I approached the theatre, I was surprised to see a glass facade on what I thought would be a very traditional and old fashioned theatre. When inside and you get beyond the glass facade you do indeed step into the traditional and... More

Fourth time of seeing this last night and loved every minute. Singing acting scenery, lighting and everything was first class. the story is so well written and so emotive. Agree with other reviewer that should have it's own site! The Queens theatre is a very atmospheric setting for this play and at a particularly poignant moment you could have heard... More

Not sure why Les Miserables isn't listed as an attraction in it's own right here on TA, since most of the other big shows certainly are and since Les Mis has been here for nearly 8 years and running for longer than any other show ever it would warrant a mention. Oh well. Anyway, my girfriend and I went between... More

We have lost track of the number of times we have seen Les Mis - from the original cast to Alfie Boe, Toronto, New York, London, the 10th Anniversary and 25th Anniversary concerts. Last night (Dec 16) we saw Ramin Karimloo as Valjean, his buddy Hadley Fraser as Javert and Alexia Khadime as Eponine. All three were exceptional. Ramin brought... More

I have seen Les Miz now about 12-13 times in many cities: original production in London its first year opened (1986) and then again four or five years ago, New York right before it closed (the worst performance by the way), Seattle (twice), Baltimore, Pittsburgh (twice), San Francisco (twice), etc. etc. My wife and I saw it again last night...

Beautiful Queen's Theatre....and the heart of Les Mis is still there. If you haven't seen it before, I would still warmly recommend it because the story and music are unparalleled. Even if you're not big into musicals, it is truly mind blowing. The cast is so interactive and absolutely fantastic at what they do, that I was literally left with... More
