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.

Thank you! You didn’t disappoint We came to watch Matilda for my daughter’s 6th birthday. She has seen the original movie, and I’ve read her the book it’s one of her absolute favourites.
Right from the start, we were surprised with an unexpected and very welcome upgrade. We were seated quickly, and with a 14-year-old brother in tow, we weren’t sure how he’d enjoy it. But searching for the hidden words in the stage display became a fun activity for all of us.
The show itself was spectacular. The songs, the acting, and every performance were sensational. My daughter was completely enthralled and couldn’t wait for Miss Trunchbull to appear and she was not disappointed! She left inspired and in awe of Matilda. The storyline flowed beautifully, and the backdrops and transitions were not only seamless but wonderfully entertaining.
On the way home, my 14-year-old told us it was one of his best days of 2025 not just because he enjoyed the show, but because he loved seeing his sister so happy. We even bought a “Little Bit Naughty” T-shirt because… sometimes you do have to be a little bit naughty.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
