The story

The story tells the life of a young girl, Matilda. The musical begins with her birth and moves on to describe her unhappy upbringing as she lives with her TV-addicted family and bears their constant abuse. She is an intelligent child who loves reading even though her family believes that it is a complete waste of one’s time. Due to the abuse she faces Matilda often plays pranks on people aided by her telekinetic powers. Matilda even plays pranks on her school’s headmistress, Mrs Trunchbull whom she believes to be a bully. Soon, she develops a strong friendship with her teacher Miss Honey, who admires Matilda’s intellect and almost magical abilities. The story progresses to explore the relationship between Matilda and Miss Honey, and Matilda’s desire for freedom. To watch it all unfold, book Matilda The Musical tickets now.

The tickets bought was not a good value as the aeat had limited view and was not mentioned when I bought it. We could not see most of the play which was very frustrating for us.

Overall it was a nice experience. But the text from the children, especially during the singing, was very difficult to hear and to understand. Perhaps due to the location of my seT (2nd ring)

The actresses and actors were mind-blowingly good. The experience was once in a lifetime and I'm grateful I got to show my kids what other kids are capable of. Well done cast and crew!

the performances, the lyrics and the stunts were great. But : (1) there were short periods of mic cut-out (2) there were short periods of feedback squeel (3) the acoustics/sound quality when working was not great. Hard to distinguish the individual words in the fast lyrics as a result. I do not remember this problem when I saw Matilda before some 10-15 years ago.
