Why watch Matilda The Musical?
- An adaptation of Roald Dahl’s famous children’s book, Matilda is a multiple award-winning musical.
- Matilda is the tale of a brilliant little girl with telekinetic powers. She has an unhappy life with her parents and the show follows her in her attempts to turn her life around.
- Recipient of five-star reviews from all major publications, Matilda is a shining example of just how powerful and entertaining theatre can truly be.
- Matilda is an enchanting tale that delves deeper into Roald Dahl's themes of self-empowerment and finding one's true self thanks to the stellar writing of Dennis Kelly and the direction of Matthew Warchus.
Matilda features the spectacular combination of Dahl’s plucky heroine, a moving script by the Bafta-nominated writer Dennis Kelly and hilarious words and music by Australian comedian Tim Minchin. He makes this a treat your children will remember forever. The beautiful set is wonderfully utilized by the show’s director Matthew Warchus, who has created a musical rich in stage magic that appeals to every age. In fact, adults will enjoy and appreciate the show’s clever humour and wordplay just as much as kids.
The production design by Rob Howell and choreographed by Peter Darling play a huge role in making Matilda what it is. Hugh Vanstone created the show’s extraordinarily atmospheric lighting, helping set the perfect mood for every story beat.
Storyline
Matilda’s parents believe she is a nuisance while she thinks they are only interested in watching the television. Life at school isn't much better thanks to the monstrous headmistress Miss Trunchbull. The headmistress terrifies both students and teachers alike until one day Matilda discovers she has a very special power. She decides it's time to teach the grown-ups a lesson. She also develops an unlikely friendship with her teacher Miss Honey, who admires Matilda’s intellect and almost magical abilities. As the plot progresses, the musical explores the relationship between Matilda and Miss Honey, and Matilda’s desire for freedom.

The musical is excellent, and the children are outstanding actors. They are so synchronized and engaging. Definitely a recommendation to watch!

Matilda was brilliant, my 9 year old absolutely loved her first west end experience. Headout made it super easy to find and book our tickets. There wasn't many seats left when I was looking, so I chose the Upper Circle, not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either, mid range at £95 each. We were all so incredibly happy with the view. I will always look to book the upper circle again when visiting this theatre, it was the perfect mix of value for money and obtaining the best view.

The musical was colorful and engaging. Very refreshing style of settings and even the young audience. The actors especially the child actors and fantastic and keep the play very crisp and lively.
NataliyaOct, 2024
we liked the play and the actors. However, the experience itself was a big surprise. I have to say that I am european and we are not used to eating in a theater. In some cinemas it is ok, but it is a No-Go in a theater. So, we were very surprised to see that quasi all people were eating crisps, home made sandwiches, bananas, sweets, etc etc etc. A family in front of us were constatnly eating the forst part and at the break they bought op corn and were eating that during the second part. I would like to say that this alters the whole experience because of the smell and escpecially the noise, where the music and the words were mixed with eating, packaging noise. A big cultural gap. Now we know : ) The play was great in itself - thank you very much.
