Sadler's Wells - TodayTix

Sadler's Wells is the home of contemporary dance productions in London. A smaller, 180-seat studio theatre (the Lilian Baylis Studio) was also built in the renovation to accommodate workshops of new works, as well as smaller productions for younger audiences. 

Sir Matthew Bourne's all-male *Swan Lake* premiered here in 1995 on the main stage before going on to international success. Sadler's Wells theatre events take place year round, with musicals taking place in the summer months, and dance shows throughout spring, autumn, and winter.

## Sadler's Wells Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels - Stalls, First Circle and Second Circle. The sightlines from most seats are very good, with no pillars obstructing views.

In the Stalls, the view from seats in Rows N-S may be slightly obstructed by the overhang of the First Circle.

In the First Circle, the view from seats in Rows L-M may be partially impaired by the overhang of the Second Circle.

The Second Circle may feel slightly removed from the action, and the view from the side seats in the front four rows is slightly impaired due to the seats being set at an angle.

Sadler's Wells - London Theatre

Sadler's Wells, the home of contemporary dance in London, also houses smaller productions and workshops in its 180-seat studio theatre. It's renowned for its high-quality productions and good sightlines.

Matthew Bourne's The Car Man delivers a thoroughly captivating experience that audiences overwhelmingly adore, with its explosive blend of contemporary dance, Bizet's iconic score, and film-noir atmosphere. The choreography receives near-universal praise, described as inventive, precise and dripping with sexual tension, whilst the dancers earn consistent admiration for their extraordinary athleticism and emotional expressiveness. Set in a gritty 1950s American garage, the production successfully tells a gripping story without a single spoken word, making it remarkably accessible even for ballet newcomers. A handful of viewers found the story difficult to follow or felt the show wasn't quite to their taste, and some noted the ending was disappointing, but these criticisms are rare exceptions. For most, this is Matthew Bourne at his very best—passionate, darkly humorous, and utterly unforgettable.
