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.”

The show was amazing. We enjoyed our stay, everything was perfect. It was so worth it, the next time we're in London we would come again and see this amazing show.

ABBA Voyage
Erik Sjodin
I saw ABBA first time in 1973 before they became famous in my hometown Lycksele. This show was excellent good in many ways. Especially the moves from in coordination between movies and the avatars. That made them more real.. A masterpiece from start to the end!! First time i cry in a show like this. Thd sound was better then in reality. Such a great job all of you made for all of us.. MAGIC.

ABBA Voyage
Andreasson Ralf Denny
Best of the best!! Not only was Abba "there" but Céline Dion was in the audience on this wonderful evening. Stylish lighting and incredibly authentic that you could almost believe it was 1974 again. Good recharge before at Snoozbar outside the arena. Worth every €.

The booking experience was both quick and easy. One suggestion is that if you use the underground to Victoria which exit to use from the station as we chose the wrong one and it took some time to find the theatre.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Booked day before for myself and mum as found ourselves in London and fancied a show. Took a chance on Mrs Doubtfire and all I can say is that it was fabulous from start to finish. Such energy and talent by the cast. Loved it.
