History

The Cambridge Theatre was built in 1929-30. In a reaction to the music halls and cinemas of the time, the interior décor was selected to reflect the style of the 1920s German expressionist movement. Productions at the Cambridge Theatre have been characterised by relatively short runs, lasting just a year or sometimes as short as two months.

Longer runs in modern times have included controversial piece Jerry Springer – The Opera, a musical written by Richard Thomas and comedian Stewart Lee, which caused great outcry and led to several protests from the Christian community. The show ran for two years.

In 2005, the long running show Chicago transferred from the Adelphi Theatre and remained in the Cambridge for five years before moving to the Garrick. The theatre is currently host to the RSC’s Matilda the Musical, written by comedian Tim Minchin.

Seating plan and where to sit

The single best place to sit at the Cambridge Theatre is the centre of the Stalls, roughly the front to middle rows, where the low stage keeps you close to the action without craning your neck. If you would rather take in the whole picture, the front-centre of the Dress Circle gives a clean head-on view. The theatre holds around 1,250 across three levels: the Stalls, the Dress Circle and the Upper Circle.

Level	Best for	Worth knowing
Stalls	Closeness and immersion, especially centre rows a few back from the front	Generous legroom and a low stage. The very front sides can lose edge action, more so as the Matilda set extends into the auditorium.
Dress Circle	A balanced, head-on view of the full stage from the front-centre rows	Front rows give the best perspective. Rear rows have tighter legroom and a front safety rail, plus rails around the stairwells.
Upper Circle	The best value in the house, particularly the second and third rows near the centre	The front feels closer than in many theatres. The rake is steep and the far rear and side seats can be restricted by rails and the Art Deco ceiling line.

Best seats at the Cambridge Theatre

For Matilda the Musical, aim for the centre of the Stalls a few rows back from the front, where the low stage and the set that reaches into the auditorium put you right in the middle of the action. If you prefer height and a complete view of the choreography, the front-centre of the Dress Circle, around rows B and C, is the sweet spot for both the show and the room itself.

Seats to check before you book

True restricted views are limited and sit mostly at the rear of the Upper Circle. The final rows carry a front safety rail, and the seats flanking the stairwells have additional rails, which is why they are among the cheapest in the venue. The steep rake at the very back can also mean heads in front intrude, and the Art Deco ceiling can clip the top of the stage from the highest seats. In the Dress Circle, the rear rows sit behind a safety rail with less legroom, and in the Stalls the extreme front sides can miss action played out at the edges.

Best value

The strongest value is the Upper Circle, especially the second or third row as close to centre as you can get, which keeps you square to the stage for a fraction of the Stalls price. Under-25s can often pick up heavily discounted day seats, and the rear of the Dress Circle offers a solid middle-ground view at a gentler price. If you are not sure which level suits you, our West End seating guide explains how the levels compare. Compare live prices and seat availability across every section at Matilda the Musical.

I recently went to see Matilda The Musical, and it was absolutely extraordinary. I genuinely enjoyed every single second of it. The children on stage were simply outstanding. Their acting, singing, and energy were beyond impressive, especially given their age. Each child brought so much personality and precision to their role that it was impossible not to be completely immersed in the story. Their timing, expressions, and confidence made the performance feel incredibly professional and emotionally engaging. The staging and set design were equally remarkable. The sets are creative, dynamic, and visually stunning, constantly evolving to match the rhythm and emotion of the story. Combined with clever choreography and playful details, the whole production felt alive and magical. Every scene transition was seamless, keeping the audience fully engaged from start to finish. What really stood out to me was how complete the show felt, the music, the humour, the emotion, the visuals, and the performances all worked together perfectly. It’s one of those rare shows that makes you smile, laugh, and feel genuinely moved, regardless of your age. Overall, Matilda The Musical is an exceptional production: joyful, powerful, and beautifully executed. A truly unforgettable theatre experience that I would recommend without hesitation.

I bought this as a gift for my sisters birthday. We watched the show today and we did enjoy it - however we like others we could not understand the Matilda actress much. The first half of the show we did find boring, but the second half was much more enjoyable. Felt quite restricted in the seats too not much room but that can’t be helped. Well done to all the cast especially the children and Mrs Trunchball! It was a good show to see one time however I would not go back and see it again like other west end musicals.

This may ruin Matilda for you, but the children rarely sing! They are accompanied by backing tracks on every song and the children just dance rather than sing. I found the Ms Trunch character offensive. Why is this character played by a man? Are evil woman always old, obese, unattractive and manly? However, the heroine, Ms Honey, is young, slim and beautiful? Is this really the message you want to give your kids? Stay away from ugly people but attractive people are ok? And the body microphones were poor. I couldn't understand about a third of what was said. I would skip this 'musical'.

Matilda the Musical was a wonderful experience for both the children and us as parents. Time simply flew by, and we didn’t realise how quickly it passed. It is an outstandingly well-produced and highly enjoyable musical, full of energy, talent and charm. 👏

Frequently asked questions

Where are the best seats at the Cambridge Theatre?

The best seats are in the centre of the Stalls, a few rows back from the front, where the low stage keeps you close without craning your neck. For a full head-on view of the whole stage, the front-centre of the Dress Circle around rows B and C is the sweet spot.

Which seats have a restricted view at the Cambridge Theatre?

Restricted views are mostly at the rear of the Upper Circle, where the final rows have a front safety rail and the seats beside the stairwells have extra rails. The steep rake and the Art Deco ceiling can also affect the highest seats, and the rear of the Dress Circle sits behind a safety rail with tighter legroom.

How many seats does the Cambridge Theatre have?

The Cambridge Theatre holds around 1,250 seats across three levels. These are roughly 497 in the Stalls, 295 in the Dress Circle and 443 in the Upper Circle.

Is there step-free or accessible seating at the Cambridge Theatre?

Yes, there is step-free access to the Stalls via an alternative entrance on Earlham Street, with two wheelchair spaces in the Stalls and aisle transfer seats that can be arranged in advance. The Dress Circle and Upper Circle are reached by stairs only, so book access seating ahead through the venue's access team.

What is the best value section for Matilda the Musical?

The Upper Circle offers the best value, particularly the second or third row as near to the centre as possible, which keeps you square to the stage for far less than the Stalls. Under-25s can often find heavily discounted day seats, and the rear of the Dress Circle is a good middle-ground option.
