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.

Not memorable enough At times it was difficult to hear Matildas dialogue especially when talking to each other,very slow first half but wrapped up quickly (maybe too quickly) in the second. No memorable songs, it is not a show I would want to see again.

Amazing confident young actors/actresses Amazing show. However extortionate prices inside theatre for the family. £8.00 for slush stopped us spending money in the theatre.
