Les Misérables (enPR: l? m?z??r-äb?; in French, IPA: [le mize'?a?bl]), colloquially known as Les Mis or Les Miz, is a musical composed in 1980 by the French composer Claude-Michel Schönberg with a libretto by Alain Boublil. Sung through, it is perhaps the most famous of all French musicals and one of the most performed musicals worldwide. On October 8, 2006, the show celebrated its 21st anniversary and became the longest-running West End musical in history and is still running (though it has changed venues).

You can’t come to London and not watch a musical before returning! I waited for Sara to come and we decided to watch Les Misérables, the musical based on the book of the same title by Victor Hugo. With much excitement the two of us appeared at the Queen’s Theather, not far from Chinatown on a cold Tuesday night. Sara managed to buy for us Stall tickets for £36 on the day itself in Leichester Square and so the 4 of us , Sara, Myself, Ryan and Christine went to Queen’s Theater to watch. What a show man! No wonder its been running for 23 years. I strongly recomend anybody who comes to London to catch this amazing production!! It was technical brilliance. Most of the songs were not the type that would linger in your memories but the performance will! The propts, the voices in harmony. Wow
