Matilda The Musical

9 December 2026 - 17 January 2027

Donald Gordon Theatre

Following the sellout success of its first tour in 2018/19, Matilda The Musical, the multi-award winning musical from the Royal Shakespeare Company, inspired by the beloved book by Roald Dahl, is heading back out on tour across the UK and Ireland.

In celebration of 15 years on stage since opening at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, and following performances in 100 cities across 17 countries worldwide, Matilda now returns to Wales Millennium Centre.

 

"SIMPLY UNMISSABLE. There’s never been a better time to see Matilda"

Huffington Post

With book by Dennis Kelly, music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and directed by Matthew Warchus, Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.

Winner of over 100 international awards, including 24 for Best Musical, the ‘unique and unforgettable’ (Rolling Stone) global phenomenon, Matilda has now delighted over 12 million audiences worldwide.

Age guidance: 6+ (no under 2s). Please note that all under-16s must be seated with an adult aged 18 or above.

This production features flashing lights, lasers and loud sound effects. Latex balloons are popped onstage and stage haze (smoke) is used.

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes (including 1 interval)

A chilled performance takes a more casual approach to noise and movement in the auditorium, but the performance itself is unchanged. This performance is ideal for people who feel more at ease knowing they can go in and out of the auditorium during the show as the auditorium doors will be left open and the house lights will also remain on.
