Defy the Odds with Matilda - Book Your Matilda Tickets in London

Matilda the Musical’ takes you to a magical world where some of the ‘biggest’ changes are being made by the ‘smallest’ of heroes. Currently playing at the Cambridge Theatre, Matilda revolves around dancing in the face of injustice and defying expectations. Book Matilda London tickets and delve deeper into the beauty of the modern musical theatre.

Inspired by Matilda The Musical, written by Roald Dahl, this performance is not typically for ‘children’. Instead, it is a sharp composition about a little girl who shares a knack for telekinesis and ‘larger than world’ love for books. Caught between the unacceptable actions of tyrannical Miss Trunchbull and her family, Matilda falls back on her cleverness, courage, and a pinch of naughty ideas to change her destiny. Taking the world (and West End) by storm, Matilda London show has bagged seven Oliver Awards, proving its excellence alongside other hits such as Cabaret and Hamilton.

If you are questioning ‘why should I watch Matilda?’, well, it’s because of the powerful storytelling that teaches you to take a stand for yourself! With songs like ‘Revolting Children’, ‘When I Grow Up’, and ‘Naughty’, Matilda will make you feel empowered, a little braver, and empathetic while leaving the auditorium. An amalgamation of bravery and brains, Matilda in London makes our hearts skip a beat.

So, what else are you waiting for?
