About Matilda the Musical
The stage adaptation opened in 2010 at Stratford-upon-Avon’s Courtyard Theatre for a limited season before transferring to the West End in October 2011. The musical has been running at London’s Cambridge Theatre since, only closing due to the pandemic, and will reopen this September – shortly before celebrating its 10th anniversary. Matilda the Musical has received widespread critical acclaim and multiple awards, including seven prestigious Olivier Awards. It has had many productions around the world and is set to be adapted into a Netflix film.
