Sadler's Wells Reviews

Sadler's Wells Theatre is one of the best places to see dance in London and it hosts most of Matthew Bourne's shows. Therefore it was fitting that I went there to see a special showing of his all male cast version of Swan Lake that was being recorded Sky Arts.



The theatre itself is well designed - no heads in front blocking your view - and all the facilities were modern and spotless.

Good accessability for people with mobility issues, friendly staff. Refreshments a bit expensive and not much choice

the performance civil blood was brilliant but there are no announcements for the starting of the interval and the lights just went out while people were still getting back to their seats. thank goodness for the lovely young lady with her torch to light the stairs

Been coming for the past 6 years to see Matthew Bourne ballets, they're fantastic and would highly recommend to anyone!! Go see one!!

Brilliant venue for intimate concerts loved seeing Annie Lennox talk and singing last week

A truly remarkable performance created by these two remarkable individuals. Just superb. Thank you for proving such a fantastic experience.

I really like this theater. Lovely ballets. The only downside is that there is not much very close by it.

seats at the back are absolutely tiny - unacceptably so for a modern theatre.

Great theater with good performances. It looks and feels good on there.

An extraordinary ballet by the strength and power of his dancers. A great moment of emotions.

Very nice Theatre very nice show. Just I was a little bit hot for me. But it'sa very nice place and very good dance

Went there for a show and actually didn't think that this place will be well organized as its a bit far from the theater district. but everything was nice and smooth.

Lovely performances for those that like dance of any form

London's theatre for all forms of dance. Modern building with main and subsidiary auditoriums. Nearest underground is Angel on Northern Line.

Visited for a training event rather than a performance - but really good facilities. Great venue

Wicked venue to watch performing arts and shows, we go annually to watch the travelling Flamenco shows, very clean and professional, does the job well

If you love contemporary dance then you must come to Sadlers. It's always exceeded my expectations and left me in a joyful state. I would like to think it was not always my great judgement in choosing the shows that left me with great impressions every time.

An excellent dance venue. Incredible performances put on all throughout the year. Definitely worth visiting.

High seats, spacious, good facility and set up! Visible even from far back on 2nd Circle. Picture view from seat P24, 2nd Circle

Tight seating, but otherwise great sound and visibility

Great shows, with good facilities-- the rake of the seats is pretty steep, and there's not a great deal of leg room when you're up in the gods, but the sightlines and sound quality are great and they tend to have much, much more interesting dance on offer than, say, ROH and even in the gods, you get excellent views.

They do have good incentives for coming to multiple shows-- order tickets for more than one show at the same time and you get a pretty decent discount.

Nicely organised theather, only downside for me as taller person there is not enough leg room

Great ballet X seats need more leg room in The Circle

Excellent performance but slightly overpriced drinks beforehand

I perfomed on the stage of sander's wells stage and it was a great experience

Amazing night our!! lovely staff and warm and inviting atmosphere would defo go again

Wonderful dance venue with many well coreographed performances.

Amazing place, wonderful performance. You need to move row aa back to give more leg room. Otherwise - simply wonderful

Comfortable modern theatre with a modern programme and an arty buzz.

Contemporary dancing. They are quite active and so many different performance from all over the world

A wonderful institution with amazing performing arts

Went here to watch "The Most Incredible Thing". The show itself was incredible. The seats in the theatre could have been arranged better. A tall man sat in front of me and I could hardly see anything.

Nice theatre far from the crowed in contrary to SOHO. at the back you have two local pubs that you can enjoy during the break or after the show.

This place is full of interesting and amazing events.

Went to see Matthew Bourne's Cinderella, its was amazing!

We went to this modern theater to watch Carmen La Cubana
Big success!

Lovely newish building with improved seating and lifts. Good repertoire of productions ballet, modern, flamenco etc and reasonable prices including discounts for children and seniors.

Flamenco festival. Sara Baras was fantastic. Love. Love. Love

Sadler's Wells is an incredible venue for performances of theatre and dance. The seating is great with amazing views of the stage. I visit regularly to see Matthew Bourne's delicious productions. This theatre has a wonderful atmosphere, lovely areas to meet friends and have a drink.

Akram Khan's choreography of the classic Giselle ballet production was exquisitely executed by the English National Ballet at the iconic and always pleasing Sadler's Wells Theatre. I was one of the lucky one's to see this production. I miss watching Akram Khan's previous collaborations with Sylvie Guillem but this choreography was a different step for Akram Khan. I thank Sadler's Wells for all those amazing Akram Khan dance recitals we were lucky enough to watch during the first decade of the new millennium.

Great place, facilities , staff 5stars+ Fantastic show Voices of the Amazon.
My only concern was I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE! No security and no bag checking on my believe they are taking risks " people's life " for God sake the place was packed! They surely have enough founds to arrange that with a house full! Especially if all it's happening lately.
I was too concerned and wished I didn't have to be worried as I watched such a beautiful play.
Sorry if others disagree but that's my view.
Would be great if others share their experiences and how they felt and perhaps they can sort it out " security "
We had a great time and arrived safe and sound.... just in time to write my review

An excellent venue. It is hard to imagine that any seat would be a bad view. Great acoustics. Friendly, helpful staff team. Not really enough space in the bar area so get their early for a drink and a book your interval drinks!

leading contemporary dance teathre, spiritual house of Mathew Bourne, a must visit and see a show

The theatre to go and watch dance of all kinds. I only wished they dared to programme more experimental and avant-garde contemporary works and bring the latest things in the Europe Dance Scene when they re still sizzling hot and not a few years after these have cooled down.

I saw a performance called Medusa, one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Pan's People brought back to life.

Gets better and better. Brilliant productions and acceptable prices (unlike Covent Garden)

Never been part of my manor always busy there I recommend it. . . . .

A great theatre with lots of good ballet and dance shows. As usual, not enough women's toilets, but the disabled provision (e.g. of car park access) was good. Staff were friendly and helpful and the show itself, as you would expect, was amazing.

A modern building with the original well underneath that can be seen.

Best dance theater in London; great selection of shows.

Always great dancing. Plenty of places for supper near by. An excellent bus service to and from all central destinations

A perfect city location, especially for watching the fantastic English National Ballet.

Nice theatre but more expensive drinks than any west end theatre

The modern auditarium is one of the best in London. Great sight lines and good leg room in all the seats I have had at different performances. I found the 2nd row cheaper seats (as close to the stage) excellent if you are happy with the stage being ay eye level if you are 180cm tall. Not in the West end but on bus routes and 10minutes walk to Angel tube.
