Matilda The Musical Tickets - London

The Incomparable Story From The Imagination Of Roald Dahl Explodes Into Life On The West End Stage! Book Matilda the Musical tickets on Theatre Tickets London.

The RSC's hit production of Matilda The Musical in London continues to delight audiences at the Cambridge Theatre. Roald Dahl’s delightful tale about a gifted child with an extraordinary imagination was first published in 1988 and has been brilliantly adapted for the stage.

The plot focuses on the title character, a young girl blessed with extraordinary intellect from an early age – so much so that she can pinpoint the wrongdoings in grownups and read her way through the local library at a breakneck pace. Then, whilst at school, her powers go way beyond mere intellect, as Matilda is granted the miracle of psychokinetic powers and uses them to teach those around her a lesson.

Matilda has been finely tuned up for the musical on stage by Dennis Kelly (author of the musical version). The original creative team behind the musical for RSC has regrouped to present it in the West End. Matthew Warchus (Director), Tim Minchin (music and lyrics), Peter Darling (Choreography), Rob Howell (Design), and Paul Kieve (Illusions and special effects) have all scored a golden goal with the stage production of Matilda The Musical.

FAQ's About Booking Tickets To Matilda The Musical

Are Tickets To Matilda The Musical Good Value?

The Cambridge Theatre is not one of the largest in the West End, and there are three tiers of seating. The best seats are located in the stalls and dress circle. The price of tickets to Matilda will depend on where you wish to sit, but, for Monday to Wednesday performances, there is often a good value to be found in all price bands. At weekends and during peak periods such as school holidays, prices can be quite expensive due to sheer demand!

Do They Ever Discount Matilda The Musical Tickets?

The theatre rarely sells discount tickets to Matilda; however, the price can often fluctuate due to supply and demand. Weekday performances in off-peak weeks can occasionally bring savings. There are also different price bands in all three tiers of the theatre, so studying the seating plan before booking can often be beneficial. Tickets in the stalls row L, or dress circle row D, can pay dividends as they are on the cut-off point for the price bands, and savings of up to 30% can often be achieved on the rows in front with more or less the same view!

Should I Avoid Upper Circle Tickets To Matilda?

There are very few seats that feature a restriction in the upper circle. Good value for money can usually be found and deliver savings, and last-minute bargains. Row G of the upper circle is often interesting as it is the first row of the cheapest section of the theatre, but there is a corridor in front, meaning that a clear view of the stage is almost guaranteed.

When Is The Best Time To Book Tickets To Matilda The Musical?

Matilda is a family show, so it is advisable to avoid school holidays and weekends if possible.

If you must book for a weekend, then the Sunday matinee is usually marginally cheaper than Saturday shows.

The musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's much-loved tale of Matilda is the brainchild of Tim Minchin and Dennis Kelly. The production was first performed on stage at the RSC Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon in 2010 and opened in the West End at the Cambridge Theatre the following year.
