Speaking on behalf of the Arts Theatre, Louis Hartshorn added, “We are very excited for the redevelopment of the Arts Theatre and the huge opportunity it presents to future-proof our historic theatre. As we work closely with the building owner to finalise plans, we are thrilled to be able to continue presenting this phenomenal hit show for another season.”

The Arts Theatre is a small West End theatre located on Great Newport Street, close to both Covent Garden and Leicester Square, and has a capacity of 353 seats and two levels of seating.
The theatre has comfortable seats and good overall sight lines pretty much throughout however there are slight restrictions in the seats at the ends of Row J, which situated are behind pillars, and also rows M and N, which are slightly affected by the overhang from the Circle. Seats in the slips on the sides of the Circle also feature a slight restriction due to the angle.
The best seats in the theatre are located in the centre of rows B-H in the Stalls section and in the Circle in the centre of rows B-C which give a clear line of sight to see all the action on stage.
Value can be found in the slips seats in the Circle Slips which are regularly discounted, due to the side-on view of the stage. These can offer excellent value for money, particularly for seats 8-14, which sit in front of seats 1-7 and are angled towards the stage. These are benches rather than seats, but they are cushioned with a backrest, and although some leaning will be required the entire stage can be seen at a discount price which will suit bargain hunters looking on a budget looking for lastminute shows or cheap tickets to The Choir Of Man.
