Sadler's Wells is a stunning venue just a short walk away from Angel. It reminds me of Christmas as I've made it a tradition to go to a Matthew Bourne Ballet as a Christmas treat every year, always absolutely mesmerising.
I went to Sadler's Wells a few times, and the quality of productions shown there is up to their reputation. I attended "Casanova" by the Northern Ballet and it was mind-blowing of beauty, from the dancers and the orchestra. The theatre has a modern look, which proves to be perfect in terms of sound and light. Seats are comfortable. The bar though is very very expensive (£10 for a glass of red) so for a treat you should buy a bottle, but if you are on a budget stay away!
The place to go for contemporary dance, visited on multiple occasions. If you're picking up tickets do go at least 20mins before the show starts. The ground floor atrium is slightly small, and the queues for pick ups are always long. Somehow always feels slightly rushed just before the curtain, would be nice to have people seated well in advance.
The theatre interior is new and nicely finished, with decent leg room. Great location to make an evening out of it by getting food and drinks around Angel as well.
I have been going to Sadler's wells since I was a child to see dance shows. Its my favourite venue- as a lover of all things dance it has the most diverse range of shows on- something for everyone
If you like dance then a visit to Sadlers Wells is a must. I had the luxury of catching Hofesh Scheter's Barbarians here which blew me away. I saw another one of his productions at Brixton Academy which took away the intimacy and emotion which Sadlers provided. Make sure you get seats down the front for the full experience as you can feel the vibrations from the music. I would also advise ordering your interval drinks on arrival. When you come out, they will be waiting for you opposite the bar. It's not that expensive either considering that most theatres bump up their prices just because they can. I got a vodka and Diet Coke for 4.50 which is close to standard London prices.
Been to this venue last Saturday 20.02.16 as part of the 'Flamenco Festival London 2016'.
The venue is pretty amazing and new, with incredible acoustics.
The show was absolutely fantastic - Sara Baras is the most famous Flamenco dancer in Spain and probably the world and stunned us all.
The festival finishes on the 28.02.16, if you have an opportunity don't miss it!
This theatre is very well set out and a lot bigger than expected.It is modern and clean and, although it may lack the charm of the older theatres in the West End, it is well set up for plays, shows etc.The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities are great.
If you like contemporary dance, then definitely this is your place! Well established or just new contemporary dance companies from around the world are all welcome here. You can also catch now and then ballet, flamenco or hip hop shows. The theatre itself has excellent architecture, modern huge lounge rooms and really spacious seats. Tickets are less than average priced & If you book for more than one show, you get 20% discount! One of my favorite theatre all over London!
THE place to go for the most exceptional and diverse dance in London. I'm always delighted to discover new choreographers here. And the multisave discount makes it even sweeter.
