Sondheim Theatre, Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue, London, England
The Sondheim Theatre features an Edwardian auditorium with approximately 1,000 seats and maintains original architectural elements from its 1907 construction period.
The German bombing during World War II caused substantial damage to the theatre's facade and lobby, leading to a complete reconstruction of these areas.
Les Misérables has been performed continuously at this venue since 2004, making it a central location for musical theatre in London's West End.
The box office opens two and a half hours before performances and remains accessible until fifteen minutes after the show begins at Shaftesbury Avenue.
In 2019, the theatre underwent a £13.8 million restoration project that revived its Edwardian features while incorporating modern technical improvements.
