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
Saw Quadrophenia the ballet! Absolutely fantastic! Most amazing dancers and special effects and stage and costumes by Paul Smith. I have never been to a ballet before where I forgot that I was actually at a ballet! Such a moving production could not take my eyes off the stage for a minute.

Superb modern theatre easily reached within walking distance of Angel underground. Excellent seating so you are unblocked by those in front, superb acoustics and stage effects
amazing. One for ballets, modern dance etc. Lift access to all floors, bars and waiting seated areas.

Hard to fault any theatre which has decent seating that doesn’t crush your legs, good sight-lines and plenty of bars (and loos), so I won’t
Whatever the show, you’ll always see it in reasonable comfort here and it’s less than ten minutes to the tube at Angel.
Been several times and never had a complaint.
