Guide to Cambridge Theatre's seating plan
Stalls
The Stalls section has a total of 498 seats, including accessible seating. There is an aisle in the middle, dividing rows A to S into two halves. The section fans out from the stage, getting wider the further you go back. As the stage is relatively low, you do not have to strain your necks even in the first rows. Although the prices are higher, the views are definitely worth it.
Dress Circle
The Dress Circle, is the smallest section of the theater and has rows starting from A till H. Unlike the stalls, it is split into 3 sub-sections (left, centre, right), courtesy of 2 aisles. Seats in this section, particularly the ones in the middle and front, offer the best views of the stage, some even better than the stalls. Unlike most theatres, this section is actually pretty close to the stage.
Upper Circle
This is the highest section of the theater and the furthest away from the stage, and hence the cheapest. With rows starting from A till M, it is divided into 2 subsections by an aisle cutting the section horizontally. The front part is further divided into 3 subsections by 2 vertical aisles. Although the stage is in full view from here, you do have to lean forward a bit to catch the full action.
Which Seats Offer The Best View?
Given the size of the theatre, all the seats have a full and decent view of the stage. Amongst the 3 sections, the stalls have the best seats in terms of views of the stage. Seats on rows C through G are some of the highly rated ones due to the optimal distance.
The dress circle also offers great views of the stage from seats are 12-23 in rows A-D.
Seats in rows C-F in the upper circle have elevated views of the stage. In this section, it is always recommended to get seats in the front and middle section, particularly between seats Row C-F: Seat 13-23.
Which Seats Offer the Best Value for Money?
In the stalls, the rows L-P provide a good view, while not being as expensive as the seats in the front. In the Dress Circle, seats in rows E-H provide good views at reasonable prices. The cheapest tickets can be found in the Upper Circle, specially middle seats in rows A-F. Consider reserving seats in the middle of the row so that you can get a good look at all the action on stage.

Theatre staff very pleasant, helpful & professional at all times. Theatre was very clean and spacious (even in the cheapest seats) normal london prices, nothing too expensive. It’s about a 10 minute walk from Leicester Square/Covent Garden/tube area.
