To be honest, I don't even know how to put into words just how thrilled I am with *Matilda*. The musical was simply wonderful from start to finish and an absolute highlight for me! I was particularly impressed by the child actors. It’s truly incredible how much talent, energy, and self-confidence they bring to the stage. Matilda herself was simply amazing—such an impressive performance! But every single member of the ensemble was fantastic, too. Ä A very special highlight for me was “Revolting Children”—simply phenomenal! The energy on stage, the choreography, and the entire ensemble were out of this world. Everything else was just perfect for me, too: the music, the staging, the set design, the humor, and at the same time, the beautiful emotional moments. Every single actor was great and helped make the evening so special. I was also very happy with my seat in the Upper Circle and had a great view of the stage. Plus, every single member of the theater staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. An all-around wonderful evening of musical theater and definitely a show I’d watch again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it!

The matinee musical was very much enjoyed by our grandkids of 5 and 8. We had upper circle seats , in fact the very last row but the view and acoustics were still very good. Would highly recommend

Lovely little venue with a good view. The cast of the show were great, Matilda herself was amazing. I was really impressed with her, for her age she's going to be a star! She already is, all the kids were brilliant in fact they all were. 5 stars from me.

First of all, we’ll never forget the support the Headout team gave us so we could see this show. They helped us exchange our tickets and were a huge help. Matilda’s voice and performance were unforgettable.

Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book, Matilda the Musical delights audiences with clever humour, a defiant young heroine, and a powerful story of standing up.

Winner of 100+ awards (including 25 for Best Musical), critics at The Daily Telegraph accurately hail the production as "hilarious, moving, and glorious."

Playing at the Cambridge Theatre, it is now the 10th longest-running musical in West End history, cementing its status as a modern theatrical classic.

The playful, precise staging requires 8,320 balloons and 100 tubs of chocolate spread yearly, alongside 86 complex sound cues per performance.

Expect bold choreography and fan-favorite songs like “When I Grow Up” and “Revolting Children.” Book your London tickets today!

The story

In a quiet English village, young Matilda Wormwood stands out, not for trouble, but for her brilliance, quick wit, and love of books. Neglected by her brash parents and ruled by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull at school, Matilda discovers a spark of something truly extraordinary. 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?

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

Great performers, amazing set design, and a beautiful theater with super-friendly staff. Unfortunately, we made a mistake when booking, but the team made it possible for us to see the show anyway so we didn't waste our money on the tickets. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for that!! For tourists whose English isn’t very good, the musical *Matilda* is only somewhat suitable. There’s a lot of dialogue—but we were still thrilled.
