Royal Albert Hall. The 10th Anniversary Concert was held in the Royal Albert Hall. 'Les Mis' started life in London at The Barbican in October 1985 before moving to the Palace Theatre in December of that year, where it stayed for the majority of its run. The show then moved to Queen's Theatre in April 2004. It's obviously never been performed at Buckingham Palace, but I guess if the Queen's a fan, then you never know what might happen...
