Matilda the Musical (Touring)
Roald Dahl's bookish rebel takes on her tyrant of a headmistress in the Royal Shakespeare Company's musical, with songs by Tim Minchin. Guided at 6 and up.
Good to know
What to expect
Roald Dahl's story of the small girl with the big brain, staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company with songs and lyrics by Tim Minchin. Matilda reads her way out of a grim family and squares up to a headmistress who terrorises her school. The theatre guides it at 6 and up, and the staging leans on strobe lighting, flashing lights, smoke and haze, so it plays bright and effect-heavy rather than gentle.
