Cambridge Theatre | Matilda The Musical Seating Guide – Best Views & Ticket Deals

Smart Seat Selection for Matilda at Cambridge Theatre

Discover the best seats for Matilda The Musical with our expert breakdown of Cambridge Theatre's seating chart. From budget-friendly upper circle spots to premium stalls tickets, we'll help you find the perfect balance of view and value for this award-winning West End production.

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Upper Circle Rear Rows J-M ($75-$95): Elevated view with good overall stage visibility. Row J offers better sightlines than rear rows, though some minor overhang from the dress circle may affect the very top of the stage.
• Tip: Row J at $95 is the sweet spot in this section - only 4 rows back from the upper circle front with a $26 savings over front rows.

Sweet Spot Seating (Best Price-to-View Ratio)

• Upper Circle Front Right Row E ($121): Excellent central view at mid-price point. The Cambridge's upper circle has a steep rake, ensuring clear views over patrons in front.
• Dress Circle Right Row H ($121): Closer to stage with more intimate feel. Side view but minimal obstruction with good sightlines to most stage action.
• Stalls Left Row S ($121): Rear stalls still provide good proximity to stage. Slightly angled view but full stage visibility at lower price than central stalls.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)

• Dress Circle Left Row G ($137): Prime central location with optimal viewing height. The dress circle is considered the best overall vantage point at Cambridge Theatre.
• Upper Circle Front Rows A-B ($137): Front-row upper circle seats offer unimpeded views, though some may prefer being slightly further back for better perspective.
• Stalls Right Row R ($137): Excellent stalls position with direct frontal view. Slightly better than left stalls due to stage orientation.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• Stalls Left Row O ($174): Mid-stalls position with outstanding proximity to stage. Perfect for those wanting to see facial expressions and details.
• Dress Circle Left Row E ($174): Among the best seats in the house - central dress circle just 5 rows back. Ideal for discerning theatergoers.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Upper Circle vs Dress Circle: The dress circle (mid-level) provides the most balanced view, while upper circle is higher but still clear. Dress circle seats in rows E-H offer the theatre's best overall experience.
• Stalls Considerations: Rows O-S are ideal - close enough for immersion but far enough for full stage perspective. Avoid very front rows which may require looking up.
• Side Seats: Left/Right sections still offer good views at Cambridge Theatre, with only minor obscured areas during extreme stage-edge action.

Our Top Picks for Matilda

Special Notes for Matilda

For this production, sightlines to the top of the stage are less crucial than some shows, making upper circle seats particularly good value. The Cambridge's intimate size (1,200 seats) means even rear positions feel close to the action.
