MATILDA THE MUSICAL TOUR
The award winning Matilda the Musical is embarking on its first UK & Ireland Tour opening at Leicester Curve in March 2018 with more dates still to be announced
Roald Dahl's Matilda is the story of a very bright and rebellious little girl who has special powers. Her parents, Mr and Mrs Wormwood, have no time for her and treat her as a nuisance so she spends most of her time reading books from the library while they ignore her and watch the television.
Things are no better for her at school despite the care and support of the lovely Miss Honey who is her teacher. It is here that Matilda has to contend with the terrifying and cruel headmistress Miss Trunchbull.
Matilda fights against the injustices at home and at school and eventually decides the grown-ups should be taught a lesson. In the process of doing this she discovers her supernatural powers.
With a book by Dennis Kelly,Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus is the director, Tim Minchin wrote the music and lyrics, and Peter Darling the choreographer. The creative team includes set and costume designer Rob Howell, lighting designer Hugh Vanstone, and sound designer Simon Baker, with Orchestrations & Additional Music by Christopher Nightingale with Paul Kleve who provides special effects and illusions.
