About The Theatre<\/a>Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cambridge Theater is one of a few theaters that opened on the West End in the year 1930, others being the Prince Edward<\/a>, Phoenix, Whitehall, and the Leicester Square theaters. The Cambridge Theater is located in Camden, facing the famous Seven Dials junction. This elegant structure is built completely from steel and concrete, and is well known for its stunning design, which was created by architects Wimperis, Simpson, and Guthrie. The auditorium has three levels and a capacity of 123, with no obstructive pillars or railings obstructing the view. The theater was refurbished in 1950, when chandeliers and candelabras were added, and again in 1987, by Carl Toms, to help restore it to its original, charming look.<\/p>\n

Given the size of the theater, it is best suited for hosting musicals and music events, however small plays also do well here. Some of the most notable dramas that have taken the stage here include, George Bernard Shaw\u2019s \u2018Heartbreak House\u2019, William Douglas\u2019 \u2018The Reluctant Debutante\u2019 and \u2018Billy Liar\u2019 by Keith Waterhouse. Currently, the Cambridge Theater plays host to the world famous musical \u2018Matilda\u2019, based on the book by Roald Dahl.<\/p>\n
