The smash hit musical hits the road again!

The Royal Shakespeare Company's critically acclaimed adaptation of one of Roald Dahl's beloved stories is back on tour, marking its 15th anniversary.

This internationally renowned musical continues to enchant audiences both nationally and worldwide, having won over 100 awards, including 24 for Best Musical.

Matilda, who lives with her unappreciative brother and parents, harnesses her telekinetic powers to take a stand against her cruel principal, with the support of her compassionate teacher.

Additionally, a Netflix film adaptation created by the original creative team premiered at the London Film Festival in October 2022. 

Composer and lyricist Tim Minchin said: “When we first started working on the show, our aim was to make a lovely little jewel of a musical for the RSC’s Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. We never imagined that all these years later it would still be running in the West End, have been made into a film, and is now about to embark on its second tour of the UK and Ireland. I’m deeply proud of Matilda The Musical, and every single talented person who continues to work on it with passion and enthusiasm.”
