Summary
Matilda The Musical follows the story of a young girl who is constantly overlooked and belittled by her cruel parents, the Wormwoods, and her terrifying headmistress Miss Trunchbull.
As she dreams for a better life, her unique abilities see her stand out and fight for what she wants and change her own destiny.
The musical has a book by Dennis Kelly, original songs by Tim Minchin, and is directed by Matthew Warchus.
The show is inspired by the popular children’s novel Matilda by author Roald Dahl.
Dennis Kelly, said: “It’s been a long time coming but I’m delighted that we get to take Matilda around the UK and to Ireland. We have some fantastic theatres in this country and in Ireland, supported by smart, engaged audiences and we can’t wait to bring this crazy, messy, anarchic explosion of a show to them.”
