Matilda The Musical has, over the years, become a timeless classic in London's West End. It has captivated audiences, both young and old, with its endearing story of resilience, wit, love, and the transformative power of knowledge. It is like going back to a piece of your childhood again. Playing at the prestigious Cambridge Theatre, this delightful production, adapted from Roald Dahl's beloved children's book, is sure to mesmerise you with its talented cast, heart-warming story, amazing set design, and a soundtrack that you’ll be humming long after the final curtain call.

Lyn Gardner,
The Guardian5/5
“If anything, it is actually richer than Dahl's novel. It captures all the original's delicious nastiness, particularly in depicting Matilda's school, Crunchem Hall (motto: "children are maggots"), run by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull, but it also celebrates the solace of books and the transforming powers of the imagination.”
Sam Marlowe,
Time Out4/5
“With hindsight, Kelly and Minchin's musical, born of the 1988 novel by that master of the splendidly grotesque Roald Dahl, is a little too long and, dramatically, a tad wayward. But like the curly-haired little girl in the famous nursery rhyme, when it is good, it is very, very good. And it's even better when it's horrid.”
Charles Spencer,
The Telegraph5/5
“Matthew Warchus’s thrilling, warm-hearted production, exuberantly designed by Rob Howell and with pin-sharp choreography by Peter Darling, constantly combines comedy with a sense of wonder.”

Everything. This is my 3rd time watching the show and the first time for my LO. I thought with so many kids it will be noisy but it wasn't. Enjoyed it yet again.

A truly fun night! The guys were, of course, incredibly handsome with sculpted bodies, and they were also amazing dancers, full of energy and charisma. The moment that struck me the most was the act with the female dancer and the aerial rope—elegant, powerful, and moving. A perfect mix of sensuality and talent!

TINA: The Tina Turner Musical
Anke Hoppe
It was a great experience all round, even if you didn't speak English very well. You knew the theme and the music lightened it up. It was a pity that we were only allowed to take pictures at the very end. I would have liked to have recommended this musical to my friends in Germany.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Sandra Petra Heiden
Moulin Rouge is simply a great musical, I deduct one star because I think that you have to be able to see everything from all seats and that wasn't the case for us (Grand Circle D1-4, E1-4)!
Otherwise, production, actors, quality, there is nothing to complain about, an absolutely breathtaking experience!

ABBA Voyage
Markus Johannes Karl Junker
The show is very nice, but overpriced for the money. The sound was not optimal, especially at the beginning. In between too. The synchronization between sound and lip movement was also sometimes off. But as an ABBA fan, you can overlook this and are happy to have seen your favorite stars. The atmosphere is very nice and the light show is gigantic.

Hamilton
Valeria Ziulina
Absolutely loved the show, it was just perfect! The staff was friendly and helpful, the seats and the view were great. It was my forst time seeing Hamilton and I really enjoyed watching it from Royal circle. I could see the whole stage and enjoy the choreography while also being emotionally involved with the characters.
