Les Misérables, as always, was absolutely stunning! The cast were amazing, the seats were really good for the price and the venue was absolutely gorgeous! Not a single complaint except the fact that the Grand Circle toilets are absolutely tiny, there are three stalls but two people can barely fit in the room itself and if the door is open, you can't get to the sink or tissues.

Few musicals can claim the kind of timeless magic that Les Misérables delivers night after night, but seeing it live is a reminder of why it has remained one of the most celebrated productions in theatre history. From the first notes of the overture to the final, heartbreaking moments, the performance was nothing short of breathtaking — a masterclass in storytelling, music, and emotional depth. What struck me immediately was the sheer power of the score. Even for those familiar with the iconic songs, there’s something uniquely stirring about hearing them performed live. “I Dreamed a Dream” was delivered with such raw vulnerability that the theatre seemed to hold its breath. “On My Own” carried a haunting, intimate quality, while “Do You Hear the People Sing?” erupted with an energy that sent shivers through the audience. The orchestra’s precision and richness elevated every moment, allowing the music to weave seamlessly with the drama on stage. The cast was extraordinary, each member embodying their role with depth and authenticity. Jean Valjean’s journey was portrayed with remarkable intensity, capturing both his moral struggles and his unwavering humanity. Javert provided the perfect counterpoint, his rigid sense of justice clashing with Valjean’s compassion in ways that felt both epic and deeply personal. The supporting characters, from the heartbreaking Fantine to the fiery Enjolras and the mischievous Thénardiers, were all delivered with a balance of nuance and passion that made the world of the story feel vividly alive. The staging and set design were equally impressive. The revolving stage, so iconic to Les Misérables, was used with masterful precision, giving the story a cinematic flow. Scene transitions felt fluid, almost effortless, drawing the audience deeper into the unfolding drama. The barricade sequences were particularly striking, combining scale and intimacy to capture both the grandeur of revolution and the human cost at its core. Lighting played a vital role too — subtle shifts in colour and shadow mirrored the emotional journey of the characters, amplifying key moments with understated brilliance. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was the emotional impact. Les Misérables is not just a musical; it is an exploration of love, sacrifice, justice, and redemption. The themes resonate across time and culture, and the production captured this universality with grace. By the finale, it was impossible not to feel moved — many around me were wiping away tears, united in the shared experience of something profoundly human. What distinguishes this production is its ability to balance spectacle with intimacy. Yes, it is grand and sweeping, filled with soaring choruses and dramatic battles, but it is also deeply personal. At its heart, it is a story about people — their struggles, their dreams, their resilience — and that is what lingers long after the curtain falls. Leaving the theatre, I felt both exhilarated and reflective. Les Misérables had not only entertained me; it had stirred something deeper. It is a rare production that can transport, challenge, and move its audience so completely. For anyone who has yet to experience it live, Les Misérables is not simply a musical — it is an essential theatrical experience, one that will stay with you long after the final note fades.
