A perfectly mischievous family favourite

Matilda is the perfect example of children's theatre in London that adults will love too, boasting mischief, mayhem and a huge heart. Get your little miracles engrossed in the magic of theatre with tickets to this modern family favourite at the Cambridge Theatre.

The musical delights audiences with the story of a young girl and her remarkable, magical gifts. Despite having awful parents who belittle and ignore her, Matilda’s determination leads her to the lovely Miss Honey... all while avoiding headmistress Miss Trunchbull’s terrifying temper!

Roald Dahl’s much-loved children’s book is given a boisterous musical makeover, with comedian Tim Minchin’s songs - including “When I Grow Up” and “Revolting Children” - injecting a witty breath of fresh air into the tale.

Since bursting into London in 2011 with a technicolour set and incredible cast of young actors, Matilda has caught the imaginations of audiences worldwide, earning 7 Olivier Awards and a celebrated Broadway season.

Snatch up Matilda tickets and you’ll be utterly enchanted, whether you’re 6 or 60. Borrowing the best parts of Dahl’s dark humour and adding some hilarious new twists, this musical adventure is a truly irresistible treat.

Lovely production but it feels like they missed out something such as the bit where the dad was suppose to sign the paper so miss honey can adopt matilda. Also, they could of play a bit more with matilda telekinetic scene.

Great show with a lot of heart, some impressive and fun innovative staging, a great child cast and a good mix of humour for both children and adults. Although the songs are lyrically great, maybe slightly less memorable than some other big shows, but still great.

This was my third time seeing Matilda. It's a brilliant show and the young cast, in particular, are all so talented but it was Bruce Bogtrotter who stole the show for us! The set is so creative and the School Song is outstanding in terms of choreography.

I shamefully waited far too long to watch Matilda! It's an absolutely enchanting show which combines the spirited humour and heart of the book with Tim Minchin's unique brand of mischief. A complete joy from start to end that made my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.

This show is quality entertainment. My friends and I had grown up with the book and film as a shared favourite and it was so great to see it brought to life as a musical. The choreography is fabulous, it has a great energy, and the humour is well delivered making it funny for both adults and children in the audience.
