As tensions rise, she hatches a bold plan to outwit the adults and rewrite her own fate… but how far will her courage take her?

The atmosphere was electric. The performance was out of this world. Everyone looked like they were having such a good time. Whilst all the cast were amazing, Mathilda was outstanding. She just stole the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and would definitely go again.

Matilda de Musical was een aangename verrassing. Vanaf het begin is de voorstelling vrolijk, energiek en vol enthousiasme. De cast straalt plezier uit en weet het publiek moeiteloos mee te nemen in het verhaal. De zang is werkelijk uitstekend. Alle nummers worden erg goed gezongen en de kwaliteit van de vocale prestaties ligt op een hoog niveau. De rol van Matilda wordt fantastisch vertolkt; een hele goede Matilda die zowel ontroert als overtuigt. Ook Bulstronk is geweldig neergezet en zorgt voor veel indruk, terwijl Miss Honey warm, geloofwaardig en prachtig gezongen wordt. Daarnaast verdienen alle kinderen op het podium een groot compliment. Ze spelen, zingen en dansen met enorm veel energie en talent, wat de voorstelling extra bijzonder maakt.

We had a fantastic time at Matilda. I took my teenage daughter, and it completely won both of us over. The staging is incredibly clever, the music is sharp and catchy, and the young cast brings an unbelievable amount of energy and talent to the stage. It balances the dark, whimsical humor of Roald Dahl perfectly with a lot of heart. It’s one of those rare productions that is genuinely brilliant for both adults and teenagers alike. The show itself was an absolute highlight—highly recommended!

This was fantastic. I went with my two boys aged 9 and 8. It was the 8 year olds birthday. They really enjoyed the show. We had partially obstructed seats but even allowing for that it was amazing. The staff were very helpful and the theatre very comfortable. Treats very expensive (2 tubs of ice cream for £11) and security on the way in was a bit confusing. But didn't take from how good the show was. Already planning on our return visit (might pay for the better seats though!)

I was delighted by the children, very professional, very talented. Ther were a couple of standout players, the dad and the teacher. I thought the audio was poor. TOO LOUD! But overall for a Sunday matinee to was good fun. BTW please check for me if my card cleared. I lost my bag that day and put a stop on the card. Please reapply it if possible
