About The Cambridge Theatre
Built in 1930, the Cambridge Theatre has a small foyer and large open auditorium. It's a perfect example of Art Deco style with its simple but beautifully designed interior. The theatre seats just over 1300 people split over three levels; the stalls, dress circle and upper circle. Originally designed as a picture house, the auditorium is free from obstructions and gives a good clear view to the stage from nearly every seat in the house. Located on the Seven Dials, the venue is surrounded by a whole host of attractions, restaurants, bars and hotels and getting to and from the theatre is never a problem.

Exuberant Children’s Show Excellent staging and brilliant choreography.
Amazing exuberant acting and choreography from such young children.
Sadly sound too deafening and singing way too screechy.
Could hardly make out any of the words.
Left at tbe Interval.

Great Show Fantastic show very good staging, some of the acting was slightly off, but apart from that very enjoyable.

Extraordinary The physical work the children had to do was extraordinary. The synchronisation of so many people, especially the children was on point
