Home of Les Misérables; renamed for Stephen Sondheim in 2019.
Where to sit
Best overall
Center stalls, roughly rows 5–15 — close without craning.
Best value
Front of the circle: the view of the full stage often beats the rear stalls at a lower price.
Skip if picky
Far side seats in wide theaters can clip the near wing of the stage.
Upper circle
Fine for music-forward shows; bring the opera glasses for drama.
Getting there
Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square are each about 4 minutes (Shaftesbury Avenue).
