Matilda Musical Description

The musical is based upon the novel created for the kids by Roald Dahl. The songs and music were made by Tim Minchin, while Dennis Kelly adapted the scenario. The West End premier of the performance came only after its trial run in 2010-2011. It lasted for twelve weeks and was staged at Stratford-upon-Avon. Thus, in 2011, the West End version took place at the Cambridge Theatre. A bit later, in 2013, the audience saw the Broadway production at Shubert Theatre.

All the versions have turned to be extremely popular. That’s why the musical received several awards, including seven Oliviers obtained in 2012 for the Best Musical. It was the biggest number of such awards received by one show. The following year, the performance managed to get five more Tony Awards, among which there were one for the Best Book of a Musical. The musical is still famous enough. You can see the performances in London and in New York. Besides, the touring versions were also created, such as Australian and the US ones.
Release date: 2013

Global Reach and Recent Milestones.

In recent years, Matilda the Musical has deepened its global legacy. By 2025, it had been translated into over ten languages, with official productions mounted in South Korea, Japan, Spain, Argentina, and the Philippines. The show’s enduring appeal lies in its balance of biting satire, heartwarming resilience, and explosive choreography. Notably, in April 2025, the West End production celebrated a rare achievement—its 5,000th performance at the Cambridge Theatre. The event featured emotional appearances by Tim Minchin and Dennis Kelly and included performances by former Matildas from every generation. It reaffirmed the musical’s unmatched status in modern British theatre. Meanwhile, the 2025–2026 UK and Ireland tour promises to reignite the love for Roald Dahl’s rebellious heroine. With a refreshed visual design and new choreography being developed, the production aims to captivate both returning audiences and a new wave of young theatergoers.
  • Over 13 million people have seen the musical worldwide.
  • It remains one of the top-grossing stage musicals of the decade.
  • The 2022 Netflix film adaptation further boosted international ticket sales.
