London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
A German bomb took the front off in 1940 and it stood shut for nineteen years; Les Misérables has been in it since 2019.

Sprague opened it in October 1907 as the twin of the Gielgud next door. In September 1940 a bomb landed on it and destroyed the facade and the front of house, and it stayed closed until a £250,000 rebuild reopened it in July 1959 - so the outside is post-war and the auditorium behind it is Edwardian.
It seats 1,137 on three levels and is historically protected. Thirteen and a half million pounds went into it in 2019, and Les Misérables came back in December of that year and has not left.
