6-7 Great Newport St, London WC2H 7JB, UK

The Arts Theatre opened its doors on 20 April 1927, offering something delightfully different from the usual West End fare. Originally a members-only club (to dodge the Lord Chamberlain's censorship), it quickly became a hub for experimental and avant-garde productions, joining the ranks of theatres like Hampstead Everyman and the Gate. Fast forward a few decades, and this cozy spot is now the West End’s smallest commercial theatre, still championing quirky, daring performances. If you're after an intimate show that breaks the mold, the Arts Theatre is your go-to. Arts Theatre seating plan will help you find the best seats in the theatre.

Sections available in Arts Theatre

Stalls

230 seats
Rows BB-N

The Stalls section is intimate, offering close views of the action. However, some seats are affected by pillars and the Circle overhang. Seats at the ends of Row J have restricted views due to support pillars, which is reflected in their price.
Seats in Rows M and N are slightly obstructed by the Circle overhang, affecting their price, but this is not specified at booking. These rows also have less padding.
The best views are in seats 3-14 in rows B-H, offering clear, unobstructed views of the stage. Note that the front rows might require craning your neck.

Circle

123 seats
Rows A-F

The Circle is spread across 6 rows and 2 slips. Due to the venue's intimacy, no seat feels too distant from the stage. The rows fan out in a horseshoe shape overlooking the Stalls.
Circle slips are benches rather than individual seats, which can be less comfortable for longer shows. These slips are listed as restricted views, reflected in the ticket prices, but often offer excellent value for money.
The best views are from seats 3-12 in Rows A to E. While Row F is the furthest away, patrons can still see most of the stage from these seats.
