Matilda the Musical in London ✨ What a wonderful night! The theatre was alive with laughter, applause, and pure joy. It was heartwarming to see so many people gathered together, sharing the magic of live performance. In a world that often feels so individualistic, moments like this remind me of the beauty of coming together to enjoy art, music, and storytelling. An unforgettable evening full of energy, talent, and delight. 🌟🎭

The actors in the musical were amazing. The children performed absolutely wonderfully—their expressions, their movements—and of course, Matilda was shining. Altogether, it made for a truly excellent musical that children loved. The scenes and stage design were also great: colorful and with incredible attention to detail.

The performance was very well acted and choreographed and performed! However, we were seated in the very back upper row, and had difficulty understanding a lot of the words. It also was possibly a pronunciation difference between American English and British English! We still really enjoyed the show!

Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book and film, this musical delights kids and grown-ups with clever humour, catchy tunes, and a defiant young star in London.

Winner of 100+ awards, including 24 for Best Musical, with book by Dennis Kelly and music by Tim Minchin, critics call it hilarious, moving, and glorious (The Daily Telegraph).

Matilda the Musical at the Cambridge Theatre is now the 15th longest-running show in history. The musical made its Broadway debut in 2013.

The production uses 8,320 balloons yearly, 100 tubs of chocolate spread, and 86 sound effects; each show is a playful feat of stage magic.

Expect high-energy choreography, bold staging, and favourites like “When I Grow Up”, “Naughty”, and “Revolting Children”. Book your tickets to Matilda The Musical in London today.

The story

In a quiet English village, young Matilda Wormwood stands out, not for trouble, but for her brilliance, quick wit, and love of books. Neglected by her brash parents and ruled by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull at school, Matilda discovers a spark of something truly extraordinary. As tensions rise, she hatches a bold plan to outwit the adults and rewrite her own fate… but how far will her courage take her?
