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 for me The music was too loud. From our seats we had no visual of the front of the stage. The theatre was old and worn. It was also very stuffy (I have a dust allergy) It made me very ill and I had to leave at intermission. It was also unbearably warm that night - 33 degrees warranty some airco
