The Story

The story tells the life of a young girl, Matilda. The musical begins with her birth and moves on to describe her unhappy upbringing as she lives with her TV-addicted family and bears their constant abuse. She is an intelligent child who loves reading even though her family believes that it is a complete waste of one’s time. Due to the abuse she faces Matilda often plays pranks on people aided by her telekinetic powers. Matilda even plays pranks on her school’s headmistress, Mrs Trunchbull whom she believes to be a bully. Soon, she develops a strong friendship with her teacher Miss Honey, who admires Matilda’s intellect and almost magical abilities. The story progresses to explore the relationship between Matilda and Miss Honey, and Matilda’s desire for freedom. To watch it all unfold, book Matilda The Musical tickets now.

Great experience! The show is perfect for any age really. Expect the full house plus some people being let in after the show had begun. It was a bit frustrating but still, we loved it!

Each child performed beyond our expectations. We loved each scene with children and youth (*When I Grow Up was a nice surprise). Estella Evans as Matilda was brilliant. (What a debut!) We appreciated the comfortable, spacious, and elevated seating. Ticketing was quick and easy. We absolutely loved everything from the quaint theater to the spectacular show. Seating was great.

Amazing performance by all actors and especially impressed by the kids and the girl who played Matilda. I am also very impressed by how you had constructed and utilised the stage.
