Critics' choice

The move of Les Miserables to the Queen's is as remarkable as Nasa's Mars landing. Rest assured its quality remains intact. The principal cast is further proof of the depth of our theatre's talent. A gripping story. As usual the show affected me with a sense of wonder.

The Times - April 2004

The production still feels amazingly fresh and full-blooded. It would require a cold heart indeed to remain in your seat during the rapturous standing ovation.

The Telegraph - April 2004

As a Les Miserables virgin it is great to see what people feel so passionately about. A fantastic show.

It's been seen by over 50 million people the world over. It's been going since 1985 in the UK. It's won more top awards than can be listed here. It's made more money and broken more records than any other show in the West End (and abroad). In short it's a giant... Probably the world's most popular musical!
