"If the prospect of two and a half hours of Les Mis is making you feel, well, miserable, fill up at Bocca Di Lupo in Soho beforehand. It’s one of London’s best Italian restaurants, and their pre-theatre menu means that you can get a starter and main for £18. Throw in an extra £5 for dessert—it’s worth it. With any luck, you’ll stay awake during the Paris Uprising." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
