What a cute little theatre! The décor is absolutely adorable, with alphabets all around, setting the perfect tone even before the show begins. We were seated in the front row, incredibly close to the stage, which made the experience extra special. We could see every expression so clearly, and it really brought the performance to life. The kids were simply outstanding—hats off to them! Every child was so expressive and confident. It’s truly amazing how such young performers could deliver such a brilliant show, remembering all their dialogues perfectly and performing with so much emotion. There was a small glitch during the show when the main character, Matilda, couldn’t continue due to medical reasons. However, the replacement Matilda was no less impressive—such a cute, expressive little girl who stepped in seamlessly. We absolutely loved the performance. A magical, joyful show and a must-watch, especially if you love theatre filled with charm, talent, and heart.

We absolutely loved the Matilda The Musical show. The cast was incredibly talented and energetic, and we honestly did not understand how the 2.5 hours passed so quickly. It was entertaining from beginning to end and both adults and kids really enjoyed it. The venue is in a very central location, which made it easy to reach. The ticket check process was smooth and quick, and the hall was nicely air conditioned, which was very comfortable especially on a warm day. Definitely a great experience and highly recommended for families visiting London.

I am sure I have rated this wonderful show before however google seems to be asking me again. Therefore I will take the opportunity to say this is the ONE do not miss show in London. I’ve seen Les Miz and Phantom and MJ etc, however if you want your heart filled with joy and to expel tears of laughter and joy then please go and book your tickets. Being both a Roald Dahl fan and theatre goer; this is a match made in heaven. Thought provoking (dysfunctional family) and poignant yet hilarious and sad. I must have seen this half a dozen times and I think my life will continue to be better with every watch. After a hospital appt this is the greatest tonic in the world. All ages will delight and there is NOT ONE bad seat in the whole theatre. I mean that honestly having gone round the whole theatre at the end . To not see this is to deprive oneself of awe and wonderment. The kids, grandparent (whomever) will walk in and see the set and just be blown away. Tim Minchins tracks are nothing less than 10/10. So I beseech you, don’t dawdle, shilly shally, or delay……. BOOK for the family TODAY. Warmest regards Oliver Nash Author of The Primate Puzzle children’s Book raising money by funds and awareness for the greatest kids hospital in the world (in my humble opinion of course)

Such a beautiful and emotional experience! Even though I’ve seen the movie countless times and know the story by heart, I still found myself in tears. The atmosphere was so moving, and the cast brought so much heart and emotion to every moment. Truly unforgettable! Emilia Shefford (Matilda) was truly amazing and Jon Robyns (Miss Trunchbull) was hilarious!
