A Little Magic Goes A Long Way!

Roald Dahl's beloved tale of a remarkable child with extraordinary abilities has been enchanting audiences at the Cambridge Theatre since 2012.

Combining the talents of Tim Minchin and the Royal Shakespeare Company, this extraordinary show has won seven Olivier Awards and has captured the hearts of young and old theatergoers alike, making it one of the most sought-after tickets in London!

Don't just take our word for it - Matilda's appeal is worldwide, with tours and engagements taking it all over the globe from Broadway to Australia to the Philippines, Korea and beyond.

What is the story?

Matilda, the central character, is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence for her young age - and not to mention, psychokinetic powers.

She's despised by her own hideously selfish parents, but finds a kindred spirit in her shy schoolteacher Miss Honey. Miss Honey also has demons to face - in the form of the outrageously callous headmistress Miss Trunchbull.

Over the course of her first term at school, both teacher and pupil have a profound effect on each other's lives, as they both try to foil the dastardly plans of Trunchbull, and Matilda's parents.
