I’ll admit that I didn’t have any prior knowledge of Matilda prior to watching the Broadway performance. I knew that the book and the movie were beloved by audiences of all ages. Now I understand why.

Matilida on Broadway

I brought my 10 year old son with me and we were both blown away by the talents of kids in the show. They offered great dance numbers and songs with humor and high energy.

Matilda the Musical 6

The lead Matilda that evening, Jaime MacLean, was a phenomenal actress. Her ability to memorize and deliver her lines with such authority and conviction made me question her age. Her character is incredibly smart, brave, and bold who doesn’t let her circumstances keep her down.

The Plot

Winner of 70 international awards including 4 Tony Awards ® and a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards ® including Best Musical, MATILDA THE MUSICAL is based on the beloved novel by best-selling author Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr. Fox). It is the story of an extraordinary girl who dreams of a better life. Armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, Matilda dares to take a stand and change her destiny.

The production has sets and costumes by Tony Award® winner Rob Howell, with choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Tony Award® winner Hugh Vanstone, and sound by Simon Baker.
