Though produced by the Donmar Warehouse, rather than playing at the venue's central London home, the piece will be presented at the Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand while the Donmar undertakes a series of essential building works. According to the venue, works will "significantly improve the accessibility of the Donmar" with the likes of a street-level ramp, automated front doors and more.

Over 500 free tickets for Constellations will be available for audiences aged under 26. In addition, 5000 tickets priced at £20 will be available across the run.
