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.

Best show in the West End!! Be prepared for a fun show with lots of laughter look out for all the little bits too such as Miss Trunchball's facial expressions they explain a lot of what she's feeling. look around the theatre too so you dont miss anything. look out fr the amazing changes on the stage they are seemless so you might miss them! One other thing when you first go see how many words you can find around the stage, you will be very surprised at how many there are.
also the toilets are plentiful which is unusual so the queue looked very long but it went down quick. Tip buy your merchandise before the show so you dont miss the second half as we didnt hear an announcment when it was restarting.

Incredible talent, amazing for all ages This is the second time we came to the show. The talent is incredible. The first time was a different child that played Matilda, and both times were impeccable. We cannot even imagine how much practice it entails.
We have a 4, 6, 8 and 10 years old. They were all captivated and loved it!
