Sondheim Theatre (tidligere Queen’s Theatre) åpnet dørene 8. oktober 1907. Åpningsstykket, en komedie med tittelen Sugar Bowl, ble tatt av plakaten etter kun 36 forestillinger, og de påfølgende oppsetningene gjorde det like dårlig. Teateret fikk nye eiere i 1909, og i 1914 kom endelig den første store suksessen med Potash and Perlmutter. 1920-tallet bød på kontroversielle produksjoner som The Fanatics og The Trial of Mary Dugan (hvor teateret ble bygget om for å ligne en rettssal), samt John Mills' West End-debut som Hamlet. Teateret fortsatte å sette opp suksessrike stykker (inkludert en sesong med John Gielgud i 1937) frem til det ble truffet direkte under et tysk bombeangrep i 1940. Lobbyområdene ble totalvraket, og teateret forble stengt i 20 år før det ble restaurert. 60- og 70-tallet bød på mange minneverdige forestillinger, inkludert A Suite of Three Keys (Noel Cowards siste sceneopptreden), den første europeiske oppsetningen av The Odd Couple, samt The Card, The Old Country og The Dresser. I 1982 ble Another Country flyttet hit, med en rolleliste som i løpet av spilleperioden inkluderte navn som Kenneth Branagh, Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth og Rupert Everett. Siden 2004 har teateret vært hjemmet til Les Misérables, etter at musikalen flyttet over fra Palace Theatre etter 18 år der. I 2019 flyttet Les Misérables midlertidig noen dører lenger ned i gaten til Gielgud Theatre i en stjernespekket konsertversjon, slik at omfattende renovering kunne gjennomføres. Samtidig kunngjorde eierne, Delfont Mackintosh, at teateret ville få navnet Sondheim Theatre for å hedre den legendariske Broadway-komponisten Stephen Sondheim. En helt ny produksjon av Les Misérables åpnet i desember 2019, og erstattet dermed Trevor Nunn og John Cairds prisvinnende originale RSC-oppsetning.

The Sondheim Theatre (formerly The Queen’s Theatre) opened on 8 October 1907. Its inaugural play, a comedy entitled Sugar Bowl, closed after 36 performances and follow-up shows faired equally poorly. The theatre changed hands in 1909 and finally had a big hit in 1914 with Potash and Perlmutter. The 1920s brought controversial productions of The Fanatics and The Trial of Mary Dugan (where the theatre was altered to look like a courthouse), as well as John Mills’ West End debut playing Hamlet.
The theatre continued to put on successful productions (including a season of plays presented by John Gielgud in 1937) until it received a direct hit during a German bombing raid in 1940. The lobby areas were completely destroyed, and the theatre remained closed until its restoration 20 years later.
The 1960s and 1970s brought many memorable productions, including A Suite of Three Keys (Noel Coward’s final stage appearance), the first European production of The Odd Couple, The Card, The Old Country and The Dresser. 1982 brought the transfer of Another Country, which featured a cast that included (at various points in its run) Kenneth Branagh, Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth, and Rupert Everett.
The theatre has hosted Les Miserable since 2004, after it transferred from the Palace Theatre following an 18-year run. In 2019, Les Miserables moved a few doors down to the Gielgud Theatre in an all-star concert version so that renovations on the theatre could be carried out. At that time it was announced by Delfont Mackintosh (the theatre's owners) that the theatre would be re-named the Sondheim Theatre in honour of legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim).
An all-new production of Les Miserables opened in December 2019 replacing Trevor Nunn and John Caird's award-winning original RSC production.

Les Misérables is one of the best musical i've ever seen ! The decor were simply amazing, the same for their special effects ! The costums were also amazing but the performance of the actors were simply incredible! They were really good, i was amazed by this play ! It is a mist see if you like musical or theatre or even if you're just here for visiting london!
Absolutely amazing experience. I went with my fiancé to watch Les Mis since this is his favourite musical. We both enjoyed it so much the performance was brilliant. There’s a bar you can go to if you arrive early where you can purchase a selection of drinks. Staff are all very welcoming and friendly. There was a 15 minute break in between the musical performance where you could stretch your legs, buy more booze, or purchase some ice cream! We bought the honey ice cream and it tasted amazing. Reasonably priced too. We chose the dress circle centre seats in the third row (row C). Would recommend these seats. Had a perfect view of the actors and was close enough to see their emotions. Would definitely go again.
What a super show. We were on the second row and when we stood up could see right down into the orchestra pit. The scenery was great and it was so slick. All the singing was amazing and so clear. One of the best shows we have ever seen.
Have seen Les Misérables far over 30 times in 4 different countries. This current London production is by far one of the most advanced and best designed versions. The west end cast is of exceptional high quality. Highly recommend to see this newer version if you only knew the older ones with the revolving stage. It has the look and feel of an oil painting. Remarkable light design. Very touching peak moments.
