Musikalen Matilda

This is always my dream to watch Matilda since I was little. Having a chance to come to London, it is a MUST to watch Matilda!!! From the very first moment, I felt pure excitement sitting in Stalls S20. The seat was perfect, which I found out that actors walked right past me, and I could see every smile, every fierce look, and every little gesture up close. It made me feel like I was part of the story, not just watching it! Even the scary Miss Trunchbull was thrilling, when she stormed out right next to me, I screamed inside, but I also laughed because it was so dramatic and fun (e.g. she said she doesn't like kids!)! The whole show was a wild ride, like one minute I was giggling, the next I was gasping in surprise, and then my heart melted with tenderness. The most jaw-dropping moment was when Trunchbull swung a little girl by her pigtails, and then the lights went out, and suddenly the girl was flying in the air and straight down that catches by the boys down there ! I was stunned because it was pure magic! But the part that truly filled my heart with happy tears was the song "When I Grow Up." I sang that song as a child in my choir and drama class, and now, sitting there watching the children swing and sing with such hope, I realised: I am finally the grown-up I once dreamed of being. Instead of feeling sad, I felt so proud and grateful for every step of my journey, it made me smile and cry at the same time, in the best way possible. And the ending? Oh, it was beautiful! Matilda and Miss Honey were so brave and kind to each other. Their love and courage shone like sunshine. When they finally found their happy family, tears of joy rolled down my cheeks. This musical wasn't just entertaining, it was a big warm hug for my soul!!! It reminded me that life is full of wonder, that even small people can do big things, and that growing up is something to celebrate. I left the theatre with a huge smile on my face and a heart so full of happiness. If you ever get the chance, go see it please!!! I promise it will make you laugh, cry, and believe in love and courage all over again!

I already knew the story from the book and the film, but seeing Matilda on stage was a completely different experience. Every single performer was incredibly talented, and the energy they brought to the stage was remarkable. The choreography, live music, and set design all came together beautifully, making every scene feel magical. The show lasted around two and a half hours, yet I wasn’t bored for a single moment. The performances were so engaging that time flew by. The cast’s professionalism and passion were evident throughout, and the children in particular were absolutely outstanding. If you’re visiting London, this is a musical I would wholeheartedly recommend. It exceeded my expectations and reminded me why live theatre is such a special experience.

We konden de tickets in de headout-app laten scannen bij de ingang. We werden naar onze plaatsen gewezen. Het was een fantastische ervarig! Mathilda is echt een hele leuke musical voor het gezin. Wij gingen met 2 kinderen van 12 en 13. Ook hun vonden het een hele leuke ervaring. Headout, bedankt voor de goede beschrijving in de app en de mogelijkheid dit via jullie te boeken.

This is the first musical I have ever gone to a theatre in London. For me the Matilda Musical was astonishing. The Concept was so pure and the production of the theatre is amazing. The children's acting was so realistic. The actor who played Miss Trunchbull was so funny. I recommend this musical to everyone.

The atmosphere was electric. The performance was out of this world. Everyone looked like they were having such a good time. Whilst all the cast were amazing, Mathilda was outstanding. She just stole the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and would definitely go again.

De musical was een spetterend spektakel van begin tot einde. De acteurs waren fenomenaal. De live muziek, de lichteffecten, de bewegende decors, alles was geweldig. Een super ervaring tijdens ons kort verblijf in Londen. Zeker een aanrader.
