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.

Disjointed The actors were excellent,particularly the children , trunchball and father . Acoustics poor as we were in dress circle back row .

Brilliant The show was brilliant from beginning to end, and the girl who played Matilda was excellent. Although it didn’t bother me there were a couple of episodes when there was some extremely loud noises and a couple of children near me cried. Maybe a warning should be given out before the show

Fantastic production! We thoroughly enjoyed Matilda, extremely well performed, especially by the younger actors, and I would recommend it to all!
