Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Gillian Anderson and Billy Crudup, is booking as a strictly limited run through to 19th December 2026. As with most @sohoplace productions there’s no confirmed next show yet, since this venue tends to programme one production at a time. I’ll update this page as soon as anything is announced.
@sohoplace has three seating levels: Stalls, First Balcony and Second Balcony, arranged in the round or thrust configuration depending on the production. It’s a genuinely intimate space, seating just 602, so there’s not really a bad seat in the house.
The Stalls have a great rake, keeping the view clear over the heads of the people in front, and being so close to an in-the-round stage makes for a really immersive experience.
The First Balcony is just a couple of rows, set high with largely unobstructed views straight down onto the stage.
The Second Balcony is the highest level, also just a couple of rows, and remains a good, affordable option thanks to the theatre’s compact, steep design.
@sohoplace sits right above Tottenham Court Road station, on the corner of Charing Cross Road. The nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road (Northern, Central and Elizabeth lines) – you genuinely can’t get much closer.
@sohoplace opened on 15th October 2022 as the first purpose-built West End theatre in 50 years, designed by AHMM with the auditorium by Haworth Tompkins. It was built as part of the wider Crossrail development at St Giles Circus, on the site of the former London Astoria. The theatre opened with a staging of the play Marvellous.
Since opening, @sohoplace has built a reputation for bold, star-led revivals and new work in an intimate in-the-round setting, with a flexible auditorium that can be reconfigured for each production. It’s owned and operated by Nimax Theatres.
@sohoplace has a capacity of 602 across three levels: Stalls, First Balcony and Second Balcony.

It opened on 15th October 2022, the first purpose-built West End theatre in 50 years.
The theatre takes its name from its address, 4 Soho Place, on the corner of Charing Cross Road.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Gillian Anderson and Billy Crudup, opens on 21st September 2026 for a limited run through to 19th December.
Yes, @sohoplace was built with step-free access throughout, being a purpose-built modern venue.
As a modern in-the-round theatre, @sohoplace stacks the Stalls beneath a First Balcony and a Second Balcony, so there is real height to consider if you’re up in the top tier. The good news is that, unlike most of the older West End houses, there’s a lift serving every level, so you’re never forced onto the stairs (28 steps up to the Stalls, 46 to the First Balcony, 64 to the Second Balcony, if you’d rather not use it). If you’d simply prefer to stay lower down, ask for Stalls or First Balcony seats, and the access team can talk through specific options if you call ahead.
Tottenham Court Road is right outside – the theatre sits directly above the station.
Because the theatre is so intimate and often staged in the round, there’s genuinely not a bad seat. The Stalls put you closest to the action, while both balconies offer a clear, steep view for less.
You can book tickets for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at @sohoplace directly through the official @sohoplace website. I’d always recommend booking through the theatre’s own site or a trusted official retailer to avoid inflated resale prices.
