Les Miserable - Queen's Theatre

If you like a great musical score, then this will bring tears to your eyes.

Those who are just off the plane and suffering from a bit of jet lag,

make sure this is not the first show you see because the lighting is a bit dim and

you might find yourself falling asleep.

ribbon dance etc. that is too familiar with the Far East audience.
