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.

Colourful, creative, excellent acting must see! Amazing, talented cast, who delivered an engaging and fun performance! As a first time visitor to the Cambridge theatre, all of the staff made a good first impression, were helpful and friendly. Looking forward to visiting again, when we have a weekend break in the West End!

Above expectations I expected a show for kids, but this was great for everyone. The way the scenery moved around, the costumes, music , level of acting were all brilliant and the kids in the show were so professional. Great show all round.
