Sadler's Wells Theatre
Sadler's Wells Theatre is major London dance venue
The Sadler's Wells Theatre has a history going back over 300 years to 1683 at the same location. The current theatre, which opened in 1998 is the sixth theatre to be built on the site and under the same name.
The current theatre has a 1500 seat auditorium and the smaller Lilian Baylis Studio. It is considered to be one of the top dance venues and production theatres in the United Kingdom.
The theatre began with the opening of a "Musick House" by Richard Sadler in 1683. A well was rediscovered on the site that had water thought to possess medicinal qualities and thus the name Sadler's Wells. The theatre has an extensive history that goes beyond the scope of this site, but you can read about it further on the Sadler's Wells Theatre History page.
The Sadler's Wells Theatre presents audiences with a wide variety of dance performances including contemporary, tango, hip hop, flamenco and more.

Sadler's Wells Theatre Reviews
Rated
out of 5 Lovely theatre, really nice size. I paid for the cheapest tickets at the back on the 1st circle which supposedly had restricted view (it's only a little bit of the bottom of the 2nd circle above you) and it really only means you can't see the very top, basically the ceiling, you don't miss anything even remotely important! Would go here again!

This was our first visit to the Sadler's Wells Theater and the New York City Ballet was in the repertoire. Impressive ballet, good sound and a clear view from our seat. There are also good offers in the bar. Recommended!

Fantastic experience. Drinks and snacks available on site. All the stalls seats allow clear view, there was enough fresh air during the show. Polite and helpful staff. We were watching Edward scissorhands: everything was perfect! Highly recommended.

Short walk from Angel tube station and quick bag search on entry but no long queues so well organised. Well laid out seating, staggered, not too cramped or uncomfortable. View from upper circle was still quite good. Bars on every floor. Coke and bottle of IPA was just over £10. Toilets clean and spacious too.

I really love coming here for dance performances - last one was New York City Ballet. My only gripe is that view from the stalls not great and thus totally overpriced. Thus we always sit up top!
