Table of Contents
Getting there
The Sondheim Theatre is on Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 6BA, in the heart of the West End. The nearest Tube station is Piccadilly Circus, a few minutes' walk away. The Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rouge! and The Book of Mormon play close by, so it is easy to plan a second night at the theatre.
Doors and the evening
Doors open 45 minutes before the performance. There are security and bag checks on arrival, so arrive early. Bring only one small bag that fits under your seat; the cloakroom takes coats and small bags for a small charge, but no large bags or suitcases. Food and drink bought elsewhere cannot be taken into the theatre. The show lasts 2 hours 50 minutes including a 15-minute interval and includes gunfire, smoke and flashing light effects.
With children
The producers recommend Les Misérables from age 7. Children under 3 are not admitted, and anyone under 16 must sit next to a ticket holder who is at least 18. The story is serious and the evening long, so the show suits older children who can follow a sung-through drama.
Vouchers and cancellation
Your voucher for Les Misérables comes by email after booking and needs no printing; take a valid photo ID with you to the Sondheim Theatre. Once booked, the tickets cannot be cancelled or changed, so go through date, time and seats before you pay. The way to the theatre by Tube is described under Plan your visit.
Official box office
Delfont Mackintosh Theatres, which runs the Sondheim Theatre, has the official box office. Tickets bought there come straight from the Sondheim Theatre.
