Booking & Theatre Information for Les Miserables
The Sondheim Theatre is a medium size West End theatre situated on Shaftesbury Avenue and has a capacity of 1122 seats on three levels.
Clear-view seating for Les Misérables is available throughout both the Dress Circle and Upper Circle, however, some seats at the rear of the Stalls section have some restrictions and are affected by the overhang and pricing reflects this so good value can be found at the cut-offs in rows R and S where the restriction is minimal. As always when booking London theatre tickets, it is highly recommended to study the seating plan before purchase.
The best seats in the theatre can be found in the centre and front of the Dress Circle, where there is a completely unobstructed and elevated view of the stage. Alternatively, the front section of the Stalls is also an excellent position to watch the show and get entirely immersed!
The aptly named Schönberg and Boublil Loges, (after the composers of Les Misérables), are great for special occasions and are located on the sides of the Dress Circle like traditional theatre boxes, these are accessed by their private entrance and consist of six freestanding chairs however these do have a side view of the stage but are priced similarly to the seats in the rear of the Stalls and Dress Circle.
There are also two boxes located at the rear of the Dress Circle. Due to a restricted view from both the overhang from the Upper Circle and a poor raking of seats in the Dress Circle, these seats are not recommended unless discounted but do include freestanding chairs and a private entrance.
There is value to be found in the slip seats of the Dress Circle which are often discounted, and with a little bit of leaning, offer a clear view of the entire stage quite close-up. Further value can be found by sitting centrally in the Upper Circle which offers a distant, but clear view of the stage and will suit those searching for last minute shows in London or on a budget looking for cheap Les Misérables tickets.
