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.

Meh…. I have seen numerous more substantive productions. There were some laughs and good music, but despite a good cast, nothing to write home about. One aggravation: my more expensive stall seat was SO uncomfortable!

One of the best musicals I've seen, and I'm picky! I loved loved LOVED Matilda so much this is the 2nd time I've seen it - and I would totally see it again. The energy is just something else, the songs, the stage, the acting - everything. My heart is so full.
