Matilda Wormwood is a remarkable 5 year old, but nobody seems to notice. Not least her family, who are far more interested in what’s on the television. Her father is a dodgy rogue trader dealing in second-hand cars, and her mother is unhealthily obsessed with the tarantella. Matilda can’t help but feel slightly short-changed.
At her new school, Matilda and the other pupils live in fear of the terrifying Miss Agatha Trunchbull. This horrid headmistress rules with an iron fist and a rotten programme of phys-ed. Only Matilda’s favourite teacher, Miss Honey, provides any relief from the Trunchbull’s petrifying patrols of Crunchem Hall.
When Matilda discovers her abilities are a little more magical than most, she sets out to start a revolting revolution of her own!

'An evening of unadulterated bliss. Writer Dennis Kelly and composer and lyricist Tim Minchin go to the top of the class with this anarchically joyous, gleefully nasty and ingenious musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's story'
'Utterly exhilarating. Matthew Warchus's colourful riot of a production achieves an even dizzier balance between gleeful, grotesque, fun and heart-tugging poignancy, brilliantly drilled dynamism and warm, unforced charm'
'The quest for a great new musical is over.'
'Smart, quirky and sublimely good fun. A moving and subtle spectacle which will have kids in stitches and adults in tears. It is guaranteed to delight anyone who's ever been a child. I can't wait to see it again'
'An absolute cracker of a show, bursting with dynamism, fizzing with verve. Irresistible and ingenious'
'Hilarious, moving, glorius. Matthew Warchus's thrilling, warm-hearted production, exuberantly designed by Rob Howell, with pin-sharp choreography by Peter Darling, combines comedy with a sense of wonder. This show indeed has something miraculous about it.'
'Giddily enjoyable. Roars of approval shake the theatre.'
