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.”

Hamilton
Kimberley Arnett
The performance took you on a journey through the late 1700s America, capturing the life of Alexander Hamilton until his death in 1804. The stage set... the ambience... every scene made you feel like you were right there in every room with him. Overall the musical was captivating and very entertaining from start to finish. Cudos to the cast for a job well done!

Disney's Hercules
Nneka Alleyne
Staff were incredibly friendly, visible and helpful for navigating the theater. The production faced a technically issue about two minutes into the show, leading to a delay of approx. 40 minutes. While this was unfortunate, crew kept us in the loop and once the show resumed it ran smoothly. It was a phenomenal show with incredibly talented actors.

Mamma Mia!
Tiffany J Mockford
My daughters and I were so excited to see Mamma Mia on our first trip to London! We met our aunt, and a dear family friend, before the show for a Mamma Mia high tea and then we watched the musical. The theatre is gorgeous, and the cast had such energy. We loved it.

Amazing! We came all the way from France just for this, and we really don't regret it. The staging is incredible. It goes without saying—you English are the best when it comes to theater.

ABBA Voyage
Nicole Sibbe
The concert was just amazing—the special effects alone were sensational. I’d go see it again in a heartbeat. It’s just great how ABBA pulled it off, and the organizers too.
