Matilda The Musical theatre breaks
Show synopsis
Roald Dahl's stories have been must-reads for almost every British child since the early 1960s; now you can see Matilda — among the best loved of those stories — brought to life onstage at the Cambridge Theatre.
Featuring an incredible cast including Steve Furst and Bertie Carvel and music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, Matilda The Musical is a laugh-out-loud family musical suitable for the young, the old, and everyone in-between.
The well-loved story sees a brilliant but tragically-overlooked little girl take on a world of villanous grown-ups with a little bit of help from her enormous brain, her newly-discovered magic powers and a kind-hearted teacher named Miss Honey.

Matilda The Musical reviews
Show and Stay review
Tim Minchin’s scintillating music is faultless
The casting is pure gold, with vivid and heartfelt performances from all. Paul Kaye is suitably despicable as Matilda’s oily car-salesman father Mr Wormwood, perfectly complemented by Josie Walker’s brash ball-dancing Mrs Wormwood. The child cast is astonishingly good from start to finish — spirited, plucky and likeable without being too sickly sweet. Stealing the show, though, is Bertie Carvel as the grotesque hammer-throwing Miss Trunchbull, played with a marvellous mixture of menace, whimsy and caricature that brings to life Roald Dahl’s legendary villain. » Read the full review
