Matilda the Musical is adapted from Roald Dahl's much-loved children's book and follows the fortunes of the gifted and extraordinary child, Matilda Wormwood, whose parents enroll her to go to school at the horrible Crunchem Hall. Armed with intelligence, wit, and telekinetic powers, Matilda soon realises that it's time to rise up and revolt against the domineering headmistress, Miss Trunchbull.
The hugely popular and successful show is now in its 12th year of performances in the West End and has won 101 awards around the world, including Tony, and Olivier Awards, and has been seen by more than 11 million people across 90 cities worldwide.
Booking & Theatre Info For Matilda The Musical
The Cambridge Theatre is a medium size West End theatre located on Earlham Street in Covent Garden and has three levels of seating with a capacity of 1242 seats.
The theatre benefits from having very little restricted view seating thanks to there being no support pillars or obstructive rails within the auditorium and with its plush seating and carpeting, the Cambridge Theatre is considered to be one of the most comfortable venues in the West End.
Premium seating can be found in rows B and C of the Dress Circle providing excellent elevated views of the stage and also in the centre of the Stalls section for a more immersive theatrical experience!
Value for money can be found in the Upper Circle which offers excellent views of the stage, and the front section is an excellent vantage point that does not feel distant from the stage. The second and third rows in the centre provide the clearest views and are often discounted making them ideal for bargain hunters or patrons on a budget looking to secure cheap Matilda tickets.
