Sections available in the Cambridge theatre

Cambridge Theatre Stalls Seating Plan

Stalls

  • 500 capacity
  • Rows A-S

  • The best views are central in Rows E–K, offering proximity without neck strain.
  • Side seats near the front can feel angled, slightly limiting sightlines of the stage corners.
  • The Stalls provide the most immersive sound and connection with the actors.
  • Seats towards the rear are still good, but may feel a little less intimate compared to the front and mid-rows.
Cambridge Theatre Royal Circle Seating Plan

Dress circle

  • 400 capacity
  • Rows A-J

  • Front rows A–C provide clear, elevated sightlines, especially good for choreography-heavy productions.
  • Side seats can sometimes feel angled due to the curve of the auditorium.
  • Offers an excellent panoramic perspective of the stage, balancing detail and scope.
  • Very popular for musicals and family audiences wanting both clarity and comfort.
Cambridge Theatre Grand Circle Seating Plan

Upper circle

  • 300 capacity
  • Rows A-M

  • Best value in the first few rows (A–C), which give a solid view of the full stage at a lower price point.
  • Higher rows can feel distant, and facial expressions may be harder to catch.
  • Limited legroom in some seats due to the theatre’s older design.
  • Great option for budget-conscious theatregoers who still want to enjoy the spectacle.

Value for money seats

  • Upper circle (Rows A–C): Among the cheapest seats, yet they provide wide sightlines without feeling too far away. A smart choice for families or groups on a budget.
  • Dress circle (Rows D–F, central): Slightly cheaper than the front rows but still provide excellent visibility of the stage, making them a good balance between price and experience.
  • Rear stalls (Rows P–U): These rows are less expensive than the front and middle stalls but still capture the atmosphere and sound well, particularly for musicals where immersion matters more than close-up detail.

Best views of the stage

  • Stalls (Rows E–K, centre): These seats are the sweet spot in the theatre, giving an ideal balance of proximity, sound, and sightlines. You’re close enough to catch actors’ expressions but far enough back for the whole stage to be in view.
  • Dress circle (Rows A–C, centre): Elevated above the stalls, these seats are excellent for musicals like Matilda, where choreography and staging details are best appreciated from above. Central seats ensure a full, uninterrupted view.
  • Upper circle (Front rows A–C, centre): Even though further back, these rows offer a surprisingly clear, elevated view of the stage. They’re best for panoramic staging and large-scale numbers rather than intimate detail.

Accessible seating in the Cambridge theatre

  • Step-free access is available to the stalls via the main entrance on Earlham Street.
  • Wheelchair spaces are provided in Row J of the Stalls, with companion seats alongside.
  • Accessible toilets are located close to the Stalls seating area.
  • Assistance dogs are welcome and can stay with owners during the performance or be cared for by staff.
  • Infra-red hearing systems are available for those with hearing impairments; headsets can be collected from the foyer.
  • Lift access is not available to the Dress Circle or Upper Circle, making the stalls the recommended section for guests with mobility needs.

Frequently asked questions about the Cambridge theatre seating plan

Where are the best seats in the Cambridge theatre?

The best seats are in the Stalls, particularly Rows E–K in the centre, which offer the perfect combination of proximity, clear sightlines, and balanced sound. Dress Circle front rows (A–C) are also highly recommended for an excellent panoramic view.

Which seats in the Cambridge theatre provide value for money?

For good views at a lower cost, choose the Upper Circle front rows (A–B), which give a wide perspective of the stage without feeling too distant. Side seats in the Dress Circle can also be cheaper but still provide clear sightlines for large-scale productions like Matilda the Musical.

Is there wheelchair accessibility in the Cambridge theatre?

Yes, step-free access is available to the Stalls, with wheelchair spaces in Row J. Accessible toilets and infra-red hearing systems are also provided. The Dress Circle and Upper Circle are not wheelchair accessible due to the lack of lift access.

Which section should I choose for musicals vs. plays?

For musicals with lots of spectacle and choreography, the Dress Circle front rows give a stunning overview of the stage. For plays or dialogue-heavy shows, the Stalls are preferable as they allow you to catch every detail of the performers’ expressions.

Does the theatre offer facilities for the hearing or visually impaired?

Yes, infra-red hearing systems with headsets are available from the foyer. Assistance dogs are welcome inside the auditorium, or staff can look after them if needed.
