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
The venue has great seating and the leg room is generous and you get a good view pretty much every where in theatre. This weekend I sat in the 2nd row from the stage, was expecting bad obstructed views and neck ache, was very surprised to find great a great view of the stage and no neck ache at all, not bad when my seat was £30 whilst the seat directly behind was £100+. They do have a bar and sell snacks but don't expect anything special. They do have a small cafe in the adjacent building though which I quite like. Added bonus is there is plenty of parking in the near vicinity which is free after 1830 and on weekends.

Amazing theatre with great stage and very impressive seating. Theatre has a bar, concessions, and souvenirs for purchase. Nice clean amenities. It is possible to find a free parking space on the side roads next to theatre on the evenings after 6.30pm and all day Sunday. Truly enjoyed my experience there and will try to visit again in near future.

I went to see the Chinese acrobatic ballet which is not a classic ballet show you would expect, however, it has been a hit from the vibe and reaction I have observed from the audience. The performers have demonstrated great strength and amazing skills in muscle control. People who love exercise and have been to the gym will appreciate how difficult the performance is and will definitely be impressed!

I visited this venue to see English National Ballet - Johan Inger’s Carmen. The show was ok, it wasn't what I expected, a little too comtemporary for me, but the performers were good.
I sat in Second Circle Row C
Seat 18, and climbed two flights of stairs to get to my seat. I didn't check if there were lifts in the building. For anyone afraid of heights, seats in this section may not be suitable.

Breaking convention, as usual, surprises with its originality every year. Great atmosphere, great dancers and of course the hosts.
