In a hospital, while other parents adore their newborn children, Mrs.Wormwood is distraught to learn she is pregnant and in labour. To her husband Mr.Wormwood's confusion, she gives birth to a girl, Matilda. Despite her parents' constant disdain, Matilda becomes a sweet child who loves reading and visits the mobile librarian Mrs.Phelps daily. Upon discovering that Matilda has not been properly schooled, teacher Miss Jennifer Honey and an inspector visit the house to suggest Matilda be sent to Crunchem Hall. Angry about being fined for not sending his daughter to school, Mr.Wormwood warns the severe headmistress, Miss Agatha Trunchbull, about Matilda. In retaliation, Matilda mixes green hair dye into his hair tonic. After opening at the RSC's home in Stratford-upon-Avon, the musical transferred to the West End's Cambridge Theatre. Matilda won seven Olivier Awards in 2012 — alongside Hamilton and Cabaret, it’s the biggest overall win of any London musical. Even though you can now catch Matilda on the big screen, there’s nothing like seeing the musical in London live. What is Matilda The Musical about? Edwards, Matt (18 March 2017).

The casting is first class, there is not a bad link anywhere in the production and what can I say about Emma Thompson, she is one gifted actress and always commands the screen, never more so than here. She would say that actors don't saves lives and it's just a job, but she does it SO well, in the world of awards she totally deserves one for this and ALL her work. Miss Honey had a beautiful voice and amazing actor too, the child lead was equally as outstanding. On 16 March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show suspended performances, returning to the Cambridge Theatre from 16 September 2021. [18] On 12 November 2021, a 10th anniversary performance celebrated 10 years since the show opened in the West End which featured a pre-show speech by Kelly and Minchin with many of the creatives and previous cast in attendance, including 42 previous Matildas.
