At the undergraduate level it's generally better not to specialize too much. If you think you want to go into theoretical physics at this point, that's great, but you don't want to specialize so much that you close other doors. I think a lot of people start out in undergraduate physics wanting to go into something theoretical, but then as they learn about the problems being worked on in other areas and the opportunities they come with their interests can sometimes change.

An undergraduate degree in physics will get you where you want to go.
