What’s On at Cambridge Theatre

The Cambridge Theatre is currently home to the Royal Shakespeare Company's musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved children's book Matilda. With whimsical, catchy songs from Australian comic Tim Minchin, this classic story of a plucky young girl who finds her voice has been inspiring the next generation of theatregoers for over a decade and has even been made into an acclaimed film! Nothing beats the breathtaking live experience, however, and tickets for Matilda the Musical are one of the most popular options for families who want to introduce their children to the magic of an all-singing, all-dancing West End show.

About the Cambridge Theatre

The Cambridge Theatre opened in 1930, a particularly busy year for West End theatre openings with the nearby Prince Edward Theatre, Phoenix Theatre and Leicester Square Theatre all opening their doors to the public. Situated in the heart of Seven Dials, the Grade II listed Cambridge Theatre was designed by architects Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie. The architects were praised for taking inspiration from the modern, expressionist style that was particularly prominent in Germany at the time consisting of simple, clean, and sophisticated design techniques.

Notable productions at the Cambridge Theatre include the Madness musical Our House, Jerry Springer: The Opera, and a popular revival of Grease. The theatre also hosted the UK premiere of the hit Broadway musical Chicago in 1979. The show would later return to the theatre in 2006 as part of a hugely successful West End revival that commenced performances at the Adelphi Theatre in 1997.
