"Welcome to the deliriously amusing, malevolent, heartwarming, head-spinning world of Matilda The Musical. You won't want to leave." - Bloomberg News
The Tony Award-winning Matilda The Musical is the story of an extraordinary girl who dreams of a better life. Armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, Matilda dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Rolling Stone calls the show "hands down the best musical of the season." Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, Matilda has won 47 international awards, and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages on Broadway and in London's West End. The Wall Street Journal says, "The makers of Matilda have done the impossible - triumphantly! It is smart, sweet, zany and stupendous fun."
"Once in a blue moon, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in Broadway. Matilda The Musical is that show." - New York Post
"Matilda is the best musical since the Lion King!" - Time Magazine
"The best family musical in years." Chicago Tribune
Multi-layered vocals go with the gobstopping staging by director Matthew Warchus ('God of Carnage,' 'Ghost'). There are laser beams, trampolines and confetti cannons. The production design is an eyeful, thanks to Rob Howell's clever costumes and scenery that's crammed sky-high with Scrabble tiles, blocks and books. Hugh Vanstone lights it with style.
With its pizazz, humor, style, intelligence and all-around entertainment quotient, 'Matilda' is, far and away, the best new musical I've seen this season. I recommend it for children and smarter adults.
