Due to the abuse she faces Matilda often plays pranks on people aided by her telekinetic powers.

Incredible performance by the actors, stagecraft and set. A great musical! We came away totally blown away by the performance of Arabella S., who plays Matilda. This little girl is dazzling.

I loved everything about my experience except that the theater didn't have wifi so it was difficult to open the link to my ticket.

Fun play! A wonderful option for children. I made the mistake of taking my husband, he did not enjoy as much as I did. Live and learn.

The theatre is so atmospheric and personable. The show was wonderful this time as it was when I took my daughter 10 years ago. This time I took my son with Down's syndrome for his 12th birthday treat. The food and drinks are very expensive but I guess being in central london, it's to be expected. We all particularly loved Mr Trunchballs & Bruce's performance. Also Mrs Wormwood was exceptional. Will definitely return 😄
