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.

Walked out singing the songs! Such great fun! Took an 8 and 11 year old to watch the show. Absolutely loved it. Lots of fun and catchy songs. A spectacular show, one we would watch again. All the children were amazing and the actress that played Matilda was phenomenal. Fabulous time!
