Matilda The Musical Tickets - Cambridge Theatre

The Cambridge Theatre is not one of the largest in the West End and there are three tiers with the best seats being located in the stalls and dress circle. The price of tickets to Matilda will depend on where you wish to sit but for Monday to Wednesday performances there is often good value to be found in all price bands while at weekends and during peak periods such as school holidays ticket prices can be quite expensive due to sheer demand! 

The theatre very rarely discount tickets to Matilda however the price of tickets can often fluctuate due to supply and demand and therefore weekday performances in off peak weeks can very often bring big savings. There are also different price bands in all three tiers of the theatre so studying the seating plan can often be beneficial as booking tickets in the stalls row L or dress circle tickets in row D can pay dividends as they are just on the cut off point for the price brands where there can often be a difference of up to 30% on the row in front with more or less the exact same view! 

As the Cambridge Theatre is not a massive venue and there are very few seats that feature a restriction to the view the Upper Circle seats to Matilda The Musical can often offer consumers good value and deliver savings. Row G of the upper circle is particularly interesting as it is the first row of the cheapest section of the theatre but has a corridor in front meaning that a good view of the stage is pretty much guaranteed no matter who sits in front of you. 

As Matilda is a family show then it is advisable to avoid school holidays and weekends if possible. To find the best deals for cheap tickets to Matilda it is recommended to look at the weeks that follow on from school holidays or during the quiet months of November, January and February that regularly produce big savings for this show. If you have to go at the weekend then the Sunday matinee is usually marginally cheaper than the Saturday shows especially during the quieter months and may produce value. 

The musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's much loved tale of Matilda is the brainchild of Tim Minchin and Dennis Kelly. The production was first performed on stage at the RSC Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon in 2010 and opened up in the West End at the Cambridge Theatre the following year.
