Les Miserables
Take a bottle of water with you and make sure you visit the loo before you take your seat. The show is pretty heavy going at three hours, but the dramatic storyline and powerful performances are bound to keep you interested.

Les Miserables at the Queens Theatre - London
The auditorium of the Queens Theatre is on three levels: Stalls, Dress Circle and Upper Circle. As shown in the seating plan below, the Stalls have no central aisle and are arranged in one large block. Due to the high stage and large-scale of Les Misérables, patrons on the front two rows may have trouble with their view (rows AA and BB). Otherwise, the seats in the Stalls offer good, clear views, apart from the three rows to the rear which are affected by the overhang from the Dress Circle (rows T to V). The Dress Circle offers an unobstructed view throughout, though the very ends of the front row are slightly sidelined (row A). The Upper Circle is very high and many seats are restricted in view. The more central seats offer the best vantage. Unfortunately no boxes are available at the Queens Theatre.
