Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical Book by Dennis Kelly Music and lyrics by Tim Minchin Directed by Matthew Warchus ★★★★★ Times, Daily Telegraph, Evening Standard, Sunday Telegraph, Daily Mail Following a sensational sell-out season at The Courtyard Theatre, the RSC's production of MATILDA THE MUSICAL transferred to London's Cambridge Theatre. Roald Dahl's much-loved story bursts into life on stage in this brand new musical version by Dennis Kelly and award-winning musician and comedian Tim Minchin. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination. Her parents think she is a nuisance and she thinks, quite rightly, they are only interested in watching telly. Life is not much better at school, where the monstrous headmistress Miss Trunchbull terrifies both students and teachers ALIKE. Then one day Matilda discovers she has a very special power and decides it's time the grown-ups were taught a lesson. Be warned, the children are revolting. ★★★★★ ‘THE QUEST FOR A GREAT NEW MUSICAL IS OVER London (and before long, presumably, the world) has just that in Matilda’ Evening Standard ★★★★★ 'Utterly exhilarating. Matilda explodes onto the stage' Independent ★★★★★ 'Gleefully nasty. An evening of unadulterated bliss' Guardian ★★★★★ 'Hilarious, moving, glorious' Daily Telegraph ★★★★★ ‘Giddily enjoyable. Roars of approval shake the theatre’ Sunday Express ‘Killer songs. Heart-tugging & inexpressibly moving’ Sunday Times ‘Dark, daring and a lot of fun’ Financial Times
