The Guardian
"A work of genius - the best British musical in years."
Inspired by the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical is the multi-award-winning musical from the Royal Shakespeare Company - a captivating masterpiece that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. Unloved by her cruel parents but adored by her teacher Miss Honey, she discovers her gift for telekinesis and dares to take a stand against the tyrannical headmistress Miss Trunchbull, changing her own destiny in the most extraordinary way.
With book by Dennis Kelly and music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won over 100 international awards, including a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards. Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn, it is a joyous celebration of the rebel in all of us. Book your tickets now.
