Sondheim Theatre stalls
The stalls are below street level and are accessed via 21 steps from the foyer. There is no central aisle, so the seats make up one block with aisles at the ends of the rows. The overhang from the dress circle balcony above limits views of the top of the stage from row R. Seats in the centre of rows give the best view of the stage. The floor has a subtle rake so you are aware of audience members ahead. There is good legroom in every seat.
There are some restricted views from the first few seats, and those on the sides in rows N-T. While the stage is still visible, these seats do feel quite far to the side and look at the stage from an angle. The final rows have the overhang of the level above in view, but this only obstructs the very top of the stage.

Sondheim Theatre Dress Circle
Les Misérables is known for its impressive ensemble scenes and barricade set, making the Dress Circle the best place to view them in full view. There a few restricted view seats at the ends of the first 3 rows due to the safety rail. Like the stalls, this section is not divided by an aisle so opt for the ends of the rows if you need extra legroom.
Seats towards the centre give the best views of the stage, but those towards the sides of the auditorium also look directly at the action. The back of the Dress Circle feels high but due to the size of the auditorium, does not feel too far away. The entire stage is always in view from these seats.

Sondheim Theatre Upper Circle
The upper circle is the highest and furthest away from the stage. Most of the seats have restricted views because you need to lean forward to see over the lighting rig, but this is reflected in the price. The seats at the ends of rows are additionally restricted. There is a partial aisle in this section so the seating is split in two blocks. Compared to other theatres, the Sondheim Theatre Upper Circle offers fairly good legroom and comfortable seating.

Which Seats Offer The Best View?
The best seats in the house for this particular production can be found in the centre and front of the dress circle, where you can feel involved in the action and are able to take it all in. Alternatively, you can sit in the front of the stalls to feel entirely immersed! Seating for Les Misérables is best in the Dress Circle, as the rear half of the Stalls is drastically affected by the overhang.
Which Seats Offer the Best Value for Money?
If you’re looking for a great time on West End but have budgetary restrictions, we have the best value for money seats for Les Misérables listed below for you. Sit in the centre seats of the Upper Circle for a distant, but clear view of the stage. Seats right in the middle section of the from rows A-F (generally seats 6-20) are great.
