Matilda the Musical Tickets

Cambridge Theatre, London

Matilda, the multi-award winning musical and musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's original story performing at the Cambridge Theatre. The musical follows the plight of a sweet little girl of six years old born into a feckless family that really does not understand her. Matilda regularly escapes into her books and becomes a wonderfully prodigious talent, not that her family will ever notice how special their little girl can be. In fact she is practically ignored at home.

Her parents resolve to send her to a school that will hopefully bring her to order. The school is run by the fierce principal Agatha Trunchbull who is a monstrous authoritarian (and a former champion hammer thrower). Under her maniacal gaze Matilda will need all the help she can get if she is to stay out of Chokey!

Fortunately Matilda is aided and abetted by a kindly teacher called Miss Honey, who see the potential in our little heroine – talents that allow this lovely little girl to turn the table on her protagonists.
