Matilda The Musical Tickets

Matilda is a multi-award-winning musical from the Royal Shakespeare Company, inspired by the beloved book by the ingenious author Roald Dahl and has been delighting London’s audiences for over a decade.

The Story of Matilda the Musical


Matilda the Musical is a heartwarming and whimsical stage adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved children's novel, brought to life on stage. The story follows an extraordinary young girl called Matilda Wormwood, a precocious and intellectually gifted girl who faces neglect and mistreatment at the hands of her shallow and self-absorbed parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood, and the tyrannical school headmistress, Miss Trunchbull.
Matilda’s awful parents are only interested in watching TV and her school life isn’t much better with the terrifying headmistress Miss Trunchbull who makes the children’s lives a misery every day. Luckily one day Matilda discovers that she has superpowers and she decides it’s time to teach these grown ups a lesson they will never forget! With a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, we see Matilda take a stand to change her own destiny.

The Music of Matilda the Musical


Tim Minchin's music for Matilda the Musical is a dynamic blend of catchy tunes and witty lyrics that tell Roald Dahl's whimsical tale perfectly. Including songs such as the empowering 'Naughty' to the reflective 'When I Grow Up, the hilarious 'Revolting Children' and 'Quiet'. Minchin's diverse musical styles, from rock to Broadway, ensure there's something for everyone in this delightful score."

The Creatives behind Matilda
