Sondheim Theatre
Seating Plan

The Sondheim has a classic West End theatre layout, with very good views from the middle of every section and more restricted views at the edges and back rows. Before booking, it’s worth knowing that:

• The Stalls overhang begins at Row P and the Dress Circle overhang at Row F, restricting the top of the stage.
• Other restrictions are due to safety rails at the front and along the aisles of the Circles.
• The Grand Circle might be a bit steep for anyone scared of heights.

Recommended Box Seats

The Schonberg Loge and Boublil Loge are great seats to book for a special occasion. They are located at the sides of the Dress Circle, adjacent to the stage. Just like a traditional theatre box, the loges are accessed by their own private entrance and consist of six freestanding chairs, so patrons can get the best view and comfort. These loge seats, such as Dress Circle Boublil Loge A4 and Dress Circle Schonberg Loge C5, receive excellent reviews from SeatPlan users. The reviews particularly praise the legroom and overall experience, which outweighs their side view location. Priced similarly to seats in the rear stalls and Dress Circle, booking seats in the Schönberg Loge and Boublil Loge will elevate your visit.

Two boxes are also located in the rear of the Dress Circle at the Sondheim Theatre – Maggie’s Box and Judi’s Box. These seats are not recommended unless discounted or no other similarly priced seats are available. The boxes include a private entrance and freestanding chairs; however, the view is restricted by the overhang from the Grand Circle and the heads of patrons in the Dress Circle, due to the poor rake.
