This phenomenally successful show tells the story of a little girl armed with an amazing imagination and a love of books.

Matilda's mum and dad think she's a nuisance and her monstrous headmistress spends all day stomping around the school scaring the pupils (and her fellow teachers!).

Only the kindly librarian recognises Matilda's talent, but when the tyrannical Miss Trunchbull tells her off one final time she decides she's finally had enough and unleashes her special powers.

Her classmates join the rebellion and everything quickly descends into anarchy. The children are revolting, and it's time to teach the grown-ups a lesson!

Original songs by comedian Tim Minchin

The soundtrack of original songs by comedian Tim Minchin perfectly captures the wild spirit and defiance of unruly children, and is filled with catchy melodies like When I Grow Up, Revolting Children and Naughty.

Winner of over 100 international awards

Since it opened in 2010 the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Matilda has picked up over 100 international awards including 4 Tony Awards, 7 Olivier Awards and 24 for Best Musical.
