Matilda the Musical is a captivating new musical masterpiece, which is inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl and original songs by comedian, Tim Minchen.

The musical revels the elements of childhood and the power of imagination as it tells an inspiring story of a girl who dares to challenge her destiny.

Matilda the musical London cast includes Lily-Mae Evans, Emma Moore, Kitty Peterkin and Savannah Read and David Shannon sharing the role of Miss Trunchbull.

Gina Beck as Miss Honey. Marianne Benedict as Mrs. Wormwood and Tom Edden as Mr. Wormwood.

Matilda the musical had already been the winner of more than 85 international awards. These awards including 16 awards for best musical.

More and more people come to see the London show and there’s standing ovations after each performance from day one as it continues to captivate minds and delight audiences of all ages.

My personal opinion on this stage performance is it truly captures the essence of the   story and provides new depth to the story and characters that I haven’t seen before.

I did enjoy it for the story and I did like the style of the characters, but for the production itself, I wasn’t to impressed.
