FANTASTIC
Absolutely amazing performance from everyone this evening! Really blown away by everyone's incredible dedication to this amazing musical! This is the 8th time I've seen this show and I will be back again. You are all amazing and should be so proud of the work you achieve! Congratulations to everyone

WORTH SEEING!!
This show was made by the fact Bertie Carvel played a superb Miss Trunchbull. I'd see it again just to watch him play her!!!!! At times we wondered what some of the kids were singing about but the story was definitely easy to follow.

MATILDA THE MUSICAL
I really enjoyed this show. The performers were fantastic, especially the lead actress. The songs were catchy and very entertaining. Cambridge Theatre is a lovely venue, but I would recommend getting seats as close to the front as your budget allows. We were relatively far back and some of the dialogue was quite difficult to hear. I think the people at the back would have seriously struggled to hear everything, even though those seats were selling for £25- £30. Overall though, it was a great night out.

I was bored witless watching this show. Roald Dahl it was not The songs were tuneless and bland. I do not understand what all the hype is about As a devotee of Roald Dahl books I thought this show was 2nd rate. Miss trunchball was miscast as a man and not a woman and the girl who played Matilda on the night we saw the show was inarticulate.

WHERE IS MATILDA?
I just saw this production and I have to say I thought it was awful. Where was Matilda? The girl playing Matilda had the figure of a teenager, she was very curvaceous and couldn’t act or sing in tune. It was so weird!!! My children were very disappointed. I was expecting the show to be amazing after reading the reviews. Very bad casting for Matilda and it ruined the whole show.

TERRIBLE RIP OFF
Boring boring boring absolute waste of money paid £75 per ticket x 7 =£525 for my granddaughters birthday. Had 2 people watching over us the whole show slightest noise telling us to be quite baring in mind we had 4 years old with us seats were loud and squeaky. My 6yr old granddaughter said fake as soon as the show started, as characters looked nothing like in the movie. Paid £63 for 4 glasses of Prosecco and 1 ice lolly and ready salted crisps. Everything was over priced. I get it was central london actaully ridiculous prices. The only staff member that was friendly was the man on the door welcoming us.

SO BORING
It was putting me to sleep. Left after intermission. Kids were good but anything involving adult characters was horrible. Songs are garbage. How this trash gets good reviews is beyond me. Was a waste of money

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...
