"Les Miserables," London
Asha S.

Les Miserables was the very first theatrical production I watched in London - and the first I'd seen since the age of 14. I somehow managed to get a seat in the center of the second row, which just made the experience that much more captivating. Having such a clear and close-up view of everyone's expressions was absolutely breathtaking. Everyone performed spectacularly... every gesture seemed so natural, so full of heart.. and their voices.. oh, their voices. The stage was set up beautifully and paired with the use of light and smoke - it made every scene seem as complete as you could ever expect from a theatre. I wonder how much of it has changed since 1980.

Host of the longest running musical in history: Les Miserables. It's not a huge theatre, so even if you get a ticket at the back it wouldn't affect your viewing too much. At first I thought my seat was too close to the theatre, but turns out it was great, you can see the actors closely and they are so good that you don't realized they are acting even being that close. The musical is brilliant. The music, crew, stage and lightings are all impeccable. I absolutely loved every thing in the musical. It's not cheap but it's worth every pence ( ;) ). I am so glad I went to see it. If you plan to go, book your tickets well ahead, it gets sold out quickly and it's almost a full house every night.

The Good: Amazing show Great seats (Paid for the fancy seats and worth every penny or is it pence) Beautiful music Talented cast The Bad: Forgot to bring tissues so I had to cry into the hard bathroom paper towels :) The Ugly: The poor guy next to me also forgot his tissues and he needed them more than I did ;)

If you are indecisive of which ticket you want to buy, buy the expensive ones! IT IS WORTH IT! This was BY FAR the best music experience i've been at! Each actor/actress had the voice of an angel and there were a lot of them! If the movie blew your mind away then this will literately blow your mind away. Everything was so incredibly detailed, everything from the set, the the acting, the songs, the make up, EVERYTHING! The 3 hours felt like 30 minutes, I was hooked right from the start. The theatre is small and your vision can be obstructed (if you buy the cheap tickets). The sound is just amazing, it's not loud, it's powerful and crystal clear. I will definitely watch this musical again!

Stage view...tell the turds to get off their phone...!!!

Beautiful theatre! As a girl with a background in the arts I was SO excited to be able to go to this amazing theatre to see Les Mis a couple years ago. We sat third row on the right and it was amazing! I will say that I wish I'd gotten seats closer to the middle, but if the sides are cheaper...then Cheap Out! Even though we were third back it was perfect as we weren't too close but still close enough that we could see the spit flying from the actors mouths as they sang and saw the sweat dripping off their faces as they danced! My bathroom advice: if you're on the lower level towards the front duck into one of the ones on the side, the ones at the back were slammed. Also make sure you get a drink....and bring tissues for tears Not sure if Carrie Hope Fischer is still Eponine but she was marvelous!!!!

The Queen's Theatre in the West End is a grand old theatre and seeing Les Miserables there only heightened the experience. I had heard wonderful things about Les Miserables and was looking forward to seeing the play. Our seats were in the first row of the Dress Circle so we had an excellent view of the stage. The theatre is very intimate and I felt I would have enjoyed the show from any sit. The music and performers were very good, but the actor who played Javert was my favourite. I liked watching his struggle as he tried to come to terms with his understanding of good v bad and how his experiences with Jean Valjean continuously challenged those views. The music is very powerful and I never found myself wanting the play to move along or getting restless. I was surprised when it was time for intermission and cheered loudly and lustfully when the play came to an end. The Queen's Theatre is wonder environment for a play and Les Miserable is an outstanding production for the space.

Gorgeous theatre, beautiful presentation of Les Miserables. If you are in London at all this year, GO! Without hesitation just do it. It will be money well spent, and isn't even that much money at all.

A must see!!

Wow... Les Miserable was the BEST musical I've ever seen and I honestly don't even care for musicals but Les Miserable I LOVE! We were actually just walking around London and wanted to check out China town and luckily we walked upon Les Miserables Theater and just decided to watch it. Of course their were sold out the night we first seen Les Miserables but the next night still had good, expensive yet worth every single penny seats. We were sitting on the middle balcony area where you could see the entire stage and each ticket was 84 British pounds which is about $140 US currency. Of course the night we watched to show it was packed, there was not one single seat empty. The cast are extremely talented and had AMAZING voices. Their voices was way better than the movie and the set was so creative. If you are ever in London, Les Miserable is a MUST see!!

Even in the "gods", this theatre is still awesome. Les Mis is a classic in London, it can't go wrong in my mind.

In this case, the show aged well, and the props and costumes have clearly had time and money invested as this was the best rendition of Phantom I've seen to date. There was fire, light effects, great structures and hidden trapdoors, fake balconies, even a mysterious Houdini chair (no spoilers) and the production of Phantom here is clearly worth the full house it had tonight. Standing ovation at the end and tons of fun souvenirs to takeaway memories of the show. I sat in A21, center of the front row of balcony, and the view was perfect, showing just the bottom of the stage up. If I leaned forward, I could see into the pit which the ground floor seats could not. All the music was played by the incredible orchestra in the pit, Four private boxes at the front sides were filled with two persons each, which could be a fun return trip. I hope to definitely be back for another viewing some day. Incredible!

I was so excited to be there for one of the previews of 'Other Desert Cities' and curious as to how that would work with the theatre having just been reconfigured to 'in the round'. It actually worked very well, and while we in the upper level, I can imagine it would be particularly interesting to be in the seats that were vitrually part of the set. I think I spied Melvin Bragg Down there. Who-ever it was he seemed to enjoy the show as much as us. OK perhaps it wasn't what I would call must-see theatre but it had a little something for everyone, and despite its dark nature in places, we had plenty of knowing belly laughs too. Since press night its been garnering a solid four stars. Perhaps because the show was in preview we were able to bag reasonably priced tickets at the box office direct. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we popped in the day before to check on availability. If there was a down-side it was that the seats were uncomfortable and the leg room very cramped, and thats coming from someone who is just 5ft & 2 inches! My companion had another foot on me and found the cramped seating a distraction from the show. Perhaps the more expensive seats are more comfortable. Wish everywhere had seats as cosy and roomy as The National Theatre! Conveniently located just along the road from Waterloo station for tube, rail and taxis.

I was tempted to take a photo of the wonderful set but refrained as I know it would be a shame to spoil the pleasant surprise of seeing it for the first time for anyone planning to. Refreshing in its differences to the film and funny both to children and adults alike, Matilda must be a great musical for a family night out in the centre of London.   There's a hint of magic, masterful choreography and well positioned lighting. Plus, there is even entertainment during the interval and they sell slush-puppies! Oh the rottenly devilishly childish brilliance of it all! What more could you ask for do I hear you say? Well it pains me to say that I felt some of the lyrics in the songs got lost in translation and were more complicated that necessary; and the songs perhaps lacked a certain hook. Nevertheless, there were some memorable numbers that were beautifully sung and played. I thought it was a nice touch to see the musicians come up on stage at the end; deservedly so. Truly a joyous show that I would happily recommend to anyone unless they really hated children, because let's face it, the children are the winners in this show; no room for haters (one Ms Trunchbull is enough!)

As for the actual show, I reaaally wanted to love it, but it missed the mark for me in many ways. The mixup of pop songs was gimmicky and didn't always fit the scene. The intro and outro dance numbers were so fun to watch, I was expecting that cabaret style throughout the show, but it didn't deliver. Also, they couldn't pick a better song than Katy Perry's 'firework' for Satine's solo? As far as the theatre experience, I had a seat in the stalls Row G and it was so close to the stage with a great view of the performers. Leg room is a little tight. The bar is just outside and downstairs to the seating area, it has a nice vintage theme to it and a special drink menu for the show. I ordered the Parisian Passion cocktail which was really nice and not too sweet.

Goosebumps was basically my childhood. Your popularity was determined by how many books from the…read moreseries you bought in on reading day (big bags were needed...), and I'd watch the show religiously. In fact, I now own it on DVD. So when they announced an immersive theatre production based on the stories at the Vaults in London, I HAD to go along. Tucked away in the Vaults under Waterloo station, the atmosphere began early as we walked through the graffiti-d tunnel to the entrance. Inside, they had a bar and food area, as well as displays of masks and other creepy paraphernalia to ramp up the excitement factor. After we'd gone through to the main room, we were split into groups and led through a maze of rooms telling Goosebumps stories - but reworked for the adult audience. I don't want to give much away, but I jumped, laughed and screamed plenty throughout. The cast were captivating in their performances, and I was incredibly impressed at the detail and innovative thinking that had gone into the sets. The only downside was 90minutes without being able to go to the loo (especially after a syringe Cosmopolitan cocktail in the waiting area). Oh, and the fact that it ended. I could happily have spent another hour being told the stories (with a loo break, obviously though). It's on until early June, so definitely get your hands on a ticket - it's totally worth it, whether you were a childhood (or adult) fan of the series or not. Adventurer beware, you're in for a scare...

Either you already now about Goosebumps stories from your childhood or no, it is sure that you will have a great time. Actors guide you from room to room to experience different stories - you wil be splitted into groups as soon as the show starts, following different paths till the ending scene that you finally get back all together. The atmoshpere is spooky but not scary. If they only had a little more horror scenes to become more adult/horror friendly, then I would go for a 5 star review. Also, the ending seems poor according to all you have experienced tiil that time. Background music all the time; the amazing Tiger Lillies' spooky soundtracks.
