Don’t wait one day more. Head to the barricade. __*Les Misérables* tickets are available on London Theatre now.__

Victor Hugo’s epic French novel of the same name inspires the *Les Misérables* musical. The musical doesn’t focus on the French Revolution of 1789 though. Instead, *Les Misérables* tells an expansive story of one man’s journey to salvation from 1815 to 1832. 

After picking up audience buzz at the Barbican, *Les Misérables* opened at the Palace Theatre on 4 Dec. 1985. Its original cast boasts West End and Broadway talent, including Patti LuPone and Michael Ball. 

*Les Misérables* in London continues to attract audiences, with fans continuing to revisit this dazzling musical that includes [Boublil and Schönberg's hit songs](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/a-complete-guide-to-all-the-songs-in-les-miserables) such as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,” and “Do You Hear the People Sing?" 

Audiences worldwide can’t get enough of Jean Valjean’s troubled life. Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, and Russell Crowe starred in the 2012 Academy Award-nominated *Les Misérables* film. Plus, it’s been produced across 42 countries and translated into 22 languages. But there's nothing quite like seeing *Les Misérables*, the West End's longest-running musical, in London.

### What is *Les Misérables* about?

The *Les Misérables* musical is set against the backdrop of 19th-century France and tells a moving story of unrequited love, sacrifice, passion, redemption, and revolutionary spirit. The newly-free prisoner Jean Valjean builds a new, respectable life for himself but is hunted by the prison guard Javert, all while revolutionaries fight for freedom in France. Throughout the musical, audiences meet Fantine, Eponine, and Cosette, as well as the Thenardiers, and freedom fighters like Marius and Enjolras. 

Tickets to *Les Misérables* are available now. Book tickets to *Les Misérables* on London Theatre today.

Les Misérables Tickets | London Theatre

Do you hear the people sing? The iconic West End classic returns with a fresh staging and design. Even if you’ve seen *Les Mis* before, you haven’t seen it like this. 
This global hit tells a timeless story of redemption and revolution, complete with famous songs like “I Dreamed A Dream.” 
Get your tickets to *Les Miserables* at the Sondheim Theatre today.

As *Les Misérables* progresses, you’ll be whisked away throughout France. Join Fantine and the factory girls as they struggle to earn a living, then head to the Thenardiers inn as they beg, borrow, and steal off their guests. After this, it’s time to head to the barricade as the revolutionaries fight for freedom. 

With beautiful love songs, heartbreaking loss, and rousing battle cries, it’s easy to see why audiences go back time and time again. *Les Misérables* is definitely a French history lesson to remember. You won’t want to wait one day more to see one of the world’s most popular musicals. 

## What to Watch For:

- Although the show tells of a French revolution, it’s not about the French Revolution we learn about at school. The French revolution took place between 1789 to 1799, and *Les Misérables* takes place from 1815 to 1832. It’s likely that characters in the musical would have served during the French revolution though!
- Every performance includes 392 costumes and 31 wigs.
- To date, there’s the musical has been translated into 21 languages, including six Spanish versions, two German versions, Korean, and Czech.
- The original *Les Misérables* London cast starred Patti LuPone as Eponine and Michael Ball as Marius. Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Samantha Barks, Eddie Redmayne, and more appeared in the musical film.

Les Misérables Tickets | Box Office

Another fantastic chapter in West End history has been gloriously (re)written, with not one but two spectacular reinventions -&nbsp;first of a theatre itself, in which the Queen's on Shaftesbury Avenue has been reincarnated as the <a href="/theatres/sondheim-theatre">Sondheim Theatre</a> and completely refurbished by its owner Cameron Mackintosh to restore it from a threadbare functionality to which it had previously been brought back 61 years ago from wartime bomb damage to a glowing and welcoming new warmth. Meanwhile, its current tenant -&nbsp;already the West End's longest-running musical -&nbsp;has itself been entirely overhauled, with Mackintosh taking the opportunity of its temporary 20-week closure for the theatre's refurbishment to replace the original landmark RSC production with a touring version that was first created for a UK tour as part of the show's 25th-anniversary celebrations in 2010. It was briefly seen in London that year at the Barbican - the show's original London home - running contemporaneously with the West End edition, and is even now on a new European and UK tour, currently playing in Zurich before it returns to continue across the regions in March. The first thing to say about it is that it still owes a lot to the original Trevor Nunn and John Caird production -&nbsp;the famous revolve of John Napier's original design may have gone, for instance, but now the actors merely mime the identical movement (originally the work of Kate Flatt, with musical staging now credited to Geoffrey Garratt, long an associate on the original production) as they advance across the stage in the ever-rousing Act One finale of "One Day More" as the iconic red flag is waved above them. Fans of the original will check off numerous such instances, including the indelible image of a dead Enjolras lying across the back of a cart. Crucially, too, the original costume designs of Andreane Neofitou are also retained, so visually there are plenty of references to the original production. There are also several cast veterans of the previous incarnation, including principals Bradley Jaden who was Javert in the final cast of the original and reprises that role now; Jon Robyns, previously Marius and Enjolras, who now graduates to the role of Jean Valjean; and <a href="/actor-profile/carrie-hope-fletcher">Carrie Hope Fletcher</a>, previously Eponine and now playing Fantine (and all three in spectacular voice); amongst others in the ensemble who also include fellow West End returnees Ciaran Bowling, Sarah Lark and Luke McCall. The show remains an ensemble effort, as it was when it was first created by Nunn and Caird. That establishes a welcome sense of continuity from past to present versions, but it is also given a fresh 21st-century inventiveness with Matt Kinley's sets being complemented by stunning painterly projections, inspired by Victor Hugo's own paintings, that have been niftily realised by Fifty-Nine Productions and Finn Ross, all of which are lavishly lit by Paule Constable. Mick Potter's sound is also thrilling, wrapping the theatre is swathes of sumptuous melody, richly played by the pit orchestra under the direction of Steve Moss. As both a producer and theatre owner, Cameron Mackintosh has always been about attention to detail; the reopening of this theatre and show gives him an opportunity to prove his meticulous care in both. But I also love fresh new details, whether it be the reintroduction of rear dress circle boxes that are newly named in honour of Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, or new cast members like West End regular Josefina Gabrielle, who - cast entirely against her usual sophisticated type as Madame Thenardier -&nbsp;is virtually unrecognisable and truly hilarious. The show remains a thrilling triumph. Here's to the next 35 years, as it looks set to become <a href="/show/the-mousetrap">The Mousetrap</a> of musical theatre; but unlike that murder mystery, there's hardly any mystery to why it's such an enduring success.<a href="/show/les-miserables">Les Miserables</a>&nbsp;is at the <a href="/theatres/sondheim-theatre">Sondheim Theatre</a>.<a href="/show/les-miserables">Les Miserables&nbsp;tickets</a> are available now.

The theatre has seen performances from several notable stars, including Fred Astaire, Noel Coward, and [Kenneth Branagh](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/kenneth-branagh). 

The Sondheim Theatre is currently home to [*Les Misérables*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/les-miserables), where it's played since 2004.
