Matilda the Musical
Based on Roald Dahl's much-loved children's book from 1988, 'Matilda the Musical' burst onto the West End in 2011 after it premiered at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2010. The show picked up a record-breaking 7 Olivier Awards in 2012, and the Broadway production took home 4 Tony Awards. These are on top of a Critic’s Circle Award, an Evening Standard Award and WhatsOnStage Awards. Matilda is the tale of a small girl with a big imagination who soon learns she has very special, magical powers. Whilst Matilda's parents have no time for her, she finds joy in life by being 'a little bit naughty' and in her books. Life isn't much better at school, where the monstrous headmistress Miss Trunchbull conducts an incessant reign of terror until one day the kids, including Matilda, choose to fight back. Tim Minchin and Dennis Kelly’s musical is catchy, fun and an inspiring story about fighting through the hardships life throws at us.
