FANTASTIC SHOW

my daughter and myself watched the show on dec 8th a show not to be missed well done to everyone

5.0 star rating Gareth Herring from London,

DAHL WOULD BE PROUD OF THIS

This is one show about which the adjective 'unmissable' is truly deserved. Every single cast member's performance was flawless, but particular mention has to go to those who played Trunchball (mesmerising!), Matilda (incredible!), Mr Wormwood (despicable!), and Rudolpho (incomparible!) We took a group of 40 teenagers from Cornwall up to London to watch this, and it was worth every mile on that coach. The staging was so well-judged, imaginative and slick that it brought real magic back to the theatre. I'll be going again.

PERFECT

We went as a family to see the performance on New Years Day, my birthday. We thought it was perfect. Matilda was dazzling, quite remarkable that a 10 year old could capture the whole audience and hold it in the palm of her hands. Memorable songs, great crackling tension, a super-baddie and an all round attack on every sense. I didn't want it to end. We want to go again, very soon.

5.0 star rating Holly from London,

MAGICAL

It was absolutely magical, we had Georgia Pemberton as Matilda, and she handled the role with the grace and brilliance of any adult performer. Every single member of the cast performed at their best and it was absolutely incredible, it left me in tears of absolute elation and I would recommend this to EVERYONE

What we thought

colourful Clever UNMISSABLE

Loud, colourful, and full of ridiculous expressions and playground jokes, from its set through to the dancing!

I'm afraid it's true, the kids are revolting - but don't be too alarmed, we mean 100% revolution and 0% revulsion. The school-aged portion of Matilda's cast are causing a revolution in musical theatre, singing and dancing their way to West End stardom...
