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.

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.

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 Weir* in London is by Conor McPherson (*Girl from the North Country, The Brightening Air, The Hunger Games on Stage*). This play was first staged in 1997, and almost 30 years later, it’s become a beloved piece of theatre. For the first time ever, McPherson is going to also be the one directing this play. 

“I couldn’t be happier to be working with this brilliant cast. It’s always exciting embarking on a new production but to revisit *The Weir* in the company of these particularly accomplished artists feels like a singular privilege and I look forward to sharing this story with audiences in Dublin and London very soon,” McPherson said. 

*The Weir* is a play that has been staged countless times since its premiere. 

[The New York Stage Review said](https://nystagereview.com/2025/07/17/the-weir-the-conor-mcpherson-bar-play-easily-vaults-a-high-bar/) of the most recent Irish Repertory staging, "The current revival is so successful that audiences sold on it will undoubtedly look forward to a next return.”

## What to watch for 

- McPherson drew inspiration for this play from stories that his grandfather recounted. 
- Michael Billington, a critic for The Guardian, listed The Weir in his 2015 book ‘The 101 Greatest Plays: From Antiquity to the Present.’ 
- The Weir earned an Olivier Award in 1999 for Best New Play. 
- In a poll conducted by the Royal National Theatre, London, The Weir was voted to be one of the most significant plays of the 20th century.

This is a play that highlights the power of storytelling and shows the need for human connection. 


Be transported to a remote rural pub in Ireland in the beloved play, *The Weir*, by award-winning playwright __Conor McPherson__ (*Girl from the North Country, The Brightening Air, The Hunger Games on Stage*). Book *The Weir* tickets on London Theatre.

Nearly 30 years after its premiere, this drama remains as powerful as it was in its original staging. This play tells the story of a group of four men spending time together in a pub on a windswept night. When a newcomer, Valerie, joins them, what begins as a night of supernatural storytelling to impress Valerie gives way to deeper stories. This is a tale that highlights the power of storytelling and shows the need for human connection. 

*The Weir* in London stars Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe-nominated, and Emmy-winning actor __Brendan Gleeson__ (The Banshees of Inisherin, Harry Potter, Paddington 2) in his West End debut. 

The cast also includes Owen McDonnell, Seán McGinley, Kate Phillips, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor. 

For the first time ever, Conor McPherson directs his gripping drama. 

McPherson said, "I can hardly believe it's thirty years since I wrote *The Weir* – and about thirty years since I first met the wonderful Brendan Gleeson. It's an absolute honour to bring this play to life again with one of the great titans of Irish acting. I'm hugely looking forward to directing my play for the very first time and sharing this production with audiences in Dublin and in London very soon."

Since its 1997 premiere, this play has been staged countless times worldwide, including a major London revival in 2013 at Donmar Warehouse directed by Josie Rourke and starring Brian Cox. 

As [The Guardian's review](https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2013/apr/26/the-weir-review) said of the staging, "In the light of McPherson's later plays, it is possible to see this as a study in the persistence of the supernatural in a modern, materialist Ireland. But what really matters is the revelation of character."

__There is no entry for latecomers and no readmittance if leaving the auditorium after the show has started.__

Due to phenomenal demand, critically acclaimed Your Lie in April will transfer to the Harold Pinter Theatre for 12 weeks only. 

The Harold Pinter Theatre, established and adorned with Victorian architecture in 1881, is one of the most notable theatre venues in the heart of London. Originally known as the Royal Comedy Theatre, it later adopted the name of 'Harold Pinter', honouring the famous playwright. The theatre is situated conveniently in the centre of the bustling West End, an ideal location for tourists and locals alike. The interior is decorated with an impressive array of original features aligned with its historical era of inception, creating an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere for theatre-goers. The theatre has an audience capacity of 796 people across four levels, with the seats divided into Stalls, Dress Circle, Royal Circle and Balcony. Over time, it has been home to many outstanding performances, including shows like 'The Homecoming', 'Moonlight', and 'Betrayal'. The Harold Pinter Theatre undoubtedly offers a memorable and culturally enriching experience for all those who visit.

### How to Get to the Venue

Harold Pinter Theatre - TodayTix

The Harold Pinter Theatre opened on 15 Oct. 1881 as a comic opera house. Its name on opening was the Royal Comedy Theatre, though its ‘Royal’ epithet was dropped in 1884.

The Comedy Theatre helped establish the New Watergate Club in 1956, a society which helped overturn the stage censorship enforced by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office. The formation of the Club meant that the plays banned by the Government could be performed at this venue as it was now being run as a private club rather than a commercial entity. Notable plays in this category include Arthur Miller’s *A View from the Bridge* and Tennessee Williams’ *Cat On A Hot Tin Roof*. The censorship was finally overturned in 1968. 

Harold Pinter's works were often performed here: *The Homecoming*, *The Caretaker*, *Moonlight*, *No-Man’s Land* and *The Hothouse* all enjoyed successful runs, and Pinter directed a production of *The Old Masters* here in 2004. After his death, it was thought fitting to bestow the honour of naming a theatre after him, and the name was officially changed on 13 Oct. 2011 to the Harold Pinter Theatre. The Ambassador Theatre Group own the Harold Pinter Theatre.

## Harold Pinter Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has four levels – Stalls, Dress Circle, Royal Circle and Balcony. The top three levels are a horseshoe shape around the stalls.

The Stalls is a single block of seats, and offers good sightlines. Some seats are impaired by supportive pillars and the overhang of the Dress Circle.

The Dress Circle doesn’t offer a great raking in the seating, but the view is not affected by the overhang of the Royal Circle. 

The Royal Circle seats curve towards the stage more noticeably than the Dress Circle.

The Balcony feels very high in this theatre.

The Royal Opera House opened in 1858. The building was previously destroyed twice by fire (once in 1808 and again in 1856). It was originally named the Theatre Royal Covent Garden.

The Opera House assembled its own in-house opera company, and premiered Purcell's *The Fairy Queen* in December 1946 in association with the ballet company. The Covent Garden Opera Company’s first operatic production after the Second World War was *Carmen* in January 1947.

The building was extensively renovated in the late 1990s to update the facilities to meet the demands of modern productions and the advances in technology, and a smaller auditiorium (the 400-seater Linbury Studio) was built to house experimental productions and give new artists and new works a performing ground. 

## Royal Opera House Seating Information

The auditorium has five levels – Orchestra Stalls, Stalls Circle, Grand Tier, Balcony and Amphitheatre. 

The upper four levels are designed in a horseshoe design around the Orchestra Stalls and can feel rather removed from the stage. Boxes, lower and upper tier slips line the sides of the auditorium, but can offer side-on, restricted views.
