The Cambridge Theatre, I think.
I'm no expert on musicals...indeed, I hate the wretched things!..but I understand 'Les Miserables' opened at the Barbican Theatre on October 8th 1985 before moving to the Palace Theatre. Click http://www.colmwilkinson.net/lesmis.htm for more information. (Sorry to disagree, AB!)
Is the Cambridge theatre the one on Cambridge circus? If so I'm sure it was there in the late 70's.

and a link will take you to the official 'Les Mis�rables' website, specifically to the page therein which lists all the opening nights since the start on 17th September 1980 in Paris. The very next entry on a long list says it then opened on 8th October 1985 at the Barbican Theatre, London.

(If it didn't even open in Paris until 1980, AB, a late 70s opening in London is a non-starter, I'm afraid. I'm not going to hunt any further, but I don't know whether it ever went on at the Cambridge either.)

Ok I believe you. Memory not what it was.
