Sadler's Wells Reviews

I have performed here and it's the most best theatre in London to go and watch a dance performance the seating and lighting all are amazing

A fantastic venue that brings lots of interesting events and big international choreographers with very reasonably priced tickets.

Their control of light and ability to change sets in such short time is incredible.

Sadler's Wells Theatre is a fantastic place to watch dance. All seats from the very back to the front have excellent sight lines and you feel part of the show. Seats are comfortable and the theatre has amazing sound and light systems. The More

Great selection of amazing shows and performances (e.g. 13 Tongues and Dust from the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan)

Designed so that there is really not a bad seat in the house!

Swan Lake by Sir Matthew Bourne, colourful, musical, athletic and mesmerising. Fantastic. A treat!

Best spot for dance theatre in London. Me and my partner always have a great time here.

Loved the show but left with bites around my ankles.

Performance excellent but sound is over-amplified in the first circle

I watched a performance of 'Made at Sadler's Wells' at the Grand Opera House, Belfast, last night (1/11/13) and I have to say I was speechless. The choreography was spectacular, the dancing superb and the music was lovely. The final piece almost moved me to tears. I cannot recommend it enough and will definitely go again when I visit London (or indeed wherever you are performing). Please come back to Belfast again if you tour. My thanks to everyone at Sadler's Wells for giving me a wonderful experience.

Sadler's Wells Theatre is a performing arts venue located on Rosebery Avenue, Clerkenwell in the London Borough of Islington. The present-day theatre is the sixth on the site since 1683.

Good selection of International Contemporary Dance shows. Often offer post-show talk if you want to learn more about the related creative work.

What the theatre lacks in loveliness (a stark 1960s exterior and interior) it makes up for in modern facilities but the toilets can still be ludicrously over-crowded however. They have some pretty strange policies on allowing drink into the auditorium: any amount of booze etc ok if in plastic containers but coffee not allowed. The dance of course, was magnificent.

My friends and I were visiting London and decided to see Pepperland, a tribute to the Beatles.
It was a colourful musical with a gorgeous choreography. We loved it!
Had it had an argument, a story, even if a basic one, I would've given it a 5 star. It was the only element I missed.

Fabulous sight lines and acoustics at all locations.

Theatre was good with comfortable seats with plenty of leg room and bus stop right outside the theater if coming from Victoria BR station bus no 38. Also if early can have a drink inside but pricey but Upper Street not far with plenty of eaters.

Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The ballet Matthew Bourne's swan lake was brilliant.

THE place to go if you like contemporary dance. They have a wide variety - and I especially recommend catching a Matthew Bourne production, a modern twist on the ballet.

Very beautiful and confortable theatre. It is pretty big, but still it's possible to see the stage very well even if you are seated far away. The sound is really nice, too. The building is new with piece of art here and there and bars every floor.

A great view from sitting more or less anywhere. Still one of my favourite theatres.

Very comfortable dance theatre with a variety of interesting bookings. Staff are friendly and the crowds are managed well.

lovely modern theartre.clean an very well organised.clean toilets nice bar an very helpful staff.excellent shows.

amazing! simply, if you like to dance or just appreciate to watch somebody doing it, there's no better place in the whole London!

Ok. But won't be going again. End of show felt unsafe exiting building going down stairs too many people.

it is very comfortable place to see the show, close to tube station so it was easy to get there. The bar has good selection of drinks and snacks. There could be more sitting in the bar areas.

Location was easy enough to get too by car, we parked on the street around the corner for free, and no congestion charges on Sunday.

Child seats are available to hire which I've never heard of before, and hassle but least they have them.

Wonderful modern theatre with wide comfortable seats and good sight lines, even towards the back.

Great theatre. They have monitors people to look at for possible translation even though, depending where you are, you really need to stretch your neck to see it.

Attended a Conference here...
Very hot..
Food sub par...

Meh

Shows running here are generally great, might be hard to see if you buy cheap tickets

Always an excellent performance. Comfortable seats. Lovely theatre

We ve been a few times to Saddlers Wells and enjoy everything we see. The tickets in the balcony are a great price and gave a good view of the stage

Friendly staff, decent wine and an excellent performance

top place. great dance. accessible culture. great staff.

Amazing performance. Just a shame the bar didn't open on time

Sadler's Wells Theater is a theater in the London borough of Islington. The current building is the sixth to occupy the same place since 1683.Wikipedia

Good modern venue for a variety of high quality dance performances.

Absolutely adore Sadlers Wells. Have attended many many performances here which have always delighted, excited left or made positive impressions. The auditorium is perfectly designed for uninterrupted views from every seat and great acoustics.

Have seen several contemporary and pseudo-classical ballet productions... Matthew Bourne to Pina Bausch, and lots un between.

Get membership.

Always keep an eye out for Matthew Bourne s productions!

Until we came to London and saw a Matthew Bourne production at Sadler's Wells, I had no idea how amazing dance could be - an instant convert. All the companies at Sadlers Wells put on consistently excellent productions, but having Matthew Bourne's "New Adventures" dance company based at the theatre is certainly the biggest coup. Definitely worth a trip north-east, if you are not a local.

very good theatre very friendly staff,every show seen been excellent

I don't really like the theatre, but this one's famous. It's very nice.

Amazing. Great architecture - acoustics are ace at any price point.

modern airy theatre with good seating and bar facilities.

A fabulous alternative original Swan Lake. A stunning performance.

Where dancers of all over the world share their art with us!

However great for dance performances we recommend booking tickets in advance.

I love Sadlers Wells. It has a relaxed feel but the performances are always top drawer. Ticket prices are very reasonable and has a well stocked bar.

Despite the small seats the view of the stage was amazing. Top seats were finally good! Nice venue, we'll definitely come back

It's a wonderful welcoming theatre,and
Of course their productions are first class.

Great venue (of course). We went to see the ballet of Romeo and Juliet choreographed by Matthew Osborne in a stark minimalist style with a young cast.

Always a fantastic line up of companies and shows here.

Went to see my daughter perform here. Lovely theater.
