Things to Know Before You Go
Is Les Misérables suitable for children?
Les Misérables deals with serious themes such as poverty, war and sacrifice, and includes some loud and intense scenes. It is generally best suited to older children and teenagers who can follow a complex story.
Is Les Misérables sung-through?
Yes. The show is almost entirely sung, with very little spoken dialogue, which helps the story flow like an opera or through-composed musical.
How long does Les Misérables run?
The performance usually runs for around two hours and fifty minutes, including an interval.
Do I need to know the book or film first?
No. The production is designed to stand on its own, and the key relationships and events are clear even if you come to the story completely fresh.
Where is Les Misérables performed in London?
Les Misérables is performed at the Sondheim Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, right in the heart of London's Theatreland.
Is Les Misérables very sad?
The show is undeniably emotional and includes some tragic moments, but it is also full of hope, humour and stirring ensemble numbers that many people find uplifting.
About this show
Enter a world of revolution, faith and second chances in Les Misérables, the epic musical adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel. At the Sondheim Theatre, a sweeping score and powerful storytelling follow ex-convict Jean Valjean as he builds a new life while being relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert. From the Paris barricades to the prayerful 'Bring Him Home', every scene is staged with striking imagery and emotional precision. The show is sung through, with no spoken dialogue, and features some of the West End's most recognisable songs, including 'I Dreamed a Dream', 'On My Own' and 'One Day More'. Les Misérables is a deeply moving evening that stays with you long after the final chords fade.
