Maltilda.. Outstanding performace The show is a must.. All deserve igh praise. However although we had good seats. The kids in front would not stay seated and blocked most of our view which was annoying.. However the health and safety bit where trunchball threw the kid and it landed was a dummy and a warning should of been given. Someigjts were flashing at times so not recommended for epilepsy sufferers. My son has many needs, autistic add partly sighted but he throughly enjoyed it. Thank you for such a lovely evening.

Very talented performances The stage, these KIDS!!! Are just amazing
The songs, the funny caracters, all of it just great!
We were on the dress circle middle 4th row, and we could see everyone
The theater is not too big, so even my youngest child, could see it clearly

Splendid Must see it. One of the best shows in London
Fadi, 29 Oct 2024
Great cast A fantastic show for the whole family to enjoy. Even those of us with no children in tow thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Nice It is a bit expensive otherwise the show was good
Akib, 26 Sep 2024
Just wonderful! It was my 3rd time seeing the show. I took my 10 year old niece, she also loved it. I can’t believe the talent of those your young actors, they were amazing as well as everyone else. All round great experience, thank you.
KELLY, 09 Sep 2024
Great A great West End Musical but beware it starts at 7 not 7:30pm like all the others!
David, 06 Sep 2024
Tomorrow's Stars today Just to be clear my scoring system:
1/ Don't go, just don't.
2/ I can't recommend going
3/ I enjoyed it but probably won't go back
4/ I enjoyed it, would go back especially if invited but would probably look elsewhere myself first.
5/ I enjoyed it, would invite/recommend others there myself
It's a fantastically engaging show with incredible kids and the supporting adults aren't bad either. You'll be singing the songs when you leave the theatre and probably for a few days to come

Matilda Not a show I enjoyed,this characterisation was no where near the film, and I think I was looking for more
Stewart, 13 Jul 2024
Fantasic! It was my first musical in London, which I watched with my family, and I was totally amazed by the show! Wonderful!
Morgan, 30 Jun 2024
Amazing Kids and cast were amazing bit sceptical about going but thoroughly enjoyed the whole atmosphere and show
Daniel, 15 Jun 2024
Legendary musical Acting, music everything was perfect. Matilda was so cute and clever.
Kyoungwoo, 08 Jun 2024
Excitement, enjoyment ! Lovely portrayal of Dahl's famous Matilda. I felt touched, excited, sadness, reflective while watching the musical. However, I find the punch line music too loud and the lights pyrotechnics too bright. The switching of scenes albeit smooth was quick, too quick to enjoy the moment with the scene, understandable to keep to time. Maybe review to reduce some aspects of scenes. The change of scenes in itself are marvels, so I would slow that down a little bit. I didn't like it that Miss Trunchball was a man, may confuse children but of course this is the UK with pantomimes. I understand for the drama effect but we could have a woman like the librarian 'in size' prep up for the role.

Super! Great actors, children are Amazing, lots if humour and a jugé life lesson
Emilie, 04 May 2024
superb entertainment absolutely brilliant show - attended with 2 teenage grandchildren & they were mesmerised
Bryn, 20 Apr 2024
A fantastic show Matilda is such an amazing show with so many best bits. Personally I loved Mr and Mrs Wormwood - deliciously over-acted and very funny. The staging, lighting, acting, singing were all brilliant and the child actors were superb.
Sarah, 28 Mar 2024
Out of this World I was enthralled from start to finish by the talent and professionalism of all the children. It was so entertaining and my Grand-Daughter was mesmorised with all the singing and dancing routines. It was First Class and I could see it again and again and still be overwhelmed by it all. The stage effects were unbelivable and so effective. Please convey my comments to all concerned.
Carol, 25 Mar 2024
Absolutely blown away I had high expectations going in to this show, between it being a much loved children's book and music from one if my favourites, Tim Minchin, I expected a lot. I was not disappointed and completely blown away. For a cast of young actors, the skill and professionalism shown was outstanding. The quality of production was phenomenal, the acting superb,everything was amazing. Highly recommend everyone to go see it.
georgie, 22 Mar 2024
Fantastic experience Took my 2 daughters aged 11 and 16 as a birthday treat. They absolutely loved every minute of it
shondell, 24 Feb 2024
Magical See it! So wonderful.
Nicole, 02 Feb 2024
Great fun for everyone! This is such a fun show for theatre lovers of all ages. Amazing songs and a brilliant story. Great staging and effects. I would definitely recommend.
Sarah, 28 Jan 2024
Absolutely Fabulous Would recommend this show to any and everyone it was amazing. The children were fantastic (as were the adults) but Bruce and of course Matilda stole the show for me.
This was a christmas gift for my granddaughter (12) and it was the best presant she received.
We took our own snacks and drinks but splashed out for a programme as a keepsake of the event. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and had upgraded our seats before we arrived for no apparent reason so that was a bonus.
Really reasonable price for a different kind of pure entertainment.
All Absolutely Fabulous
Johanna, 25 Jan 2024
One of the best musicals in London It was my third time to Matilda but the first with my family. The kids absolutely loved it although they don't speak a word of English. The acting, the songs, the music and the lighting were superb. The kids laughed out loud and so did we!
Thibaud, 08 Jan 2024
Great! Lovely execution of the story! A must see, enjoyed it very much!
Sabine Victoria, 04 Jan 2024
Fun, funny and feel good. A great show with a fantastic cast. Clever song lyrics and story to give the adults a chuckle. Loved the simple but clever staging and the physical action too. We really enjoyed ourselves! A great night out. Left feeling very cheerful!
Christine, 03 Jan 2024
Wonderful The story is amazing but how the preforming it on stage is excellent! I was really blown away with the actress that played Matilda….. so young and already so great! Amazing. Loved it so much!
Elly, 03 Jan 2024
Matilda is a star The performers playing Matilda & Miss Trunchbull are spectacular and what makes the show as good as it is. I wasn’t too impressed at the start but it really grows right through to the end.
Bryn, 27 Dec 2023
A must see for anyone Brilliant
Simon, 17 Dec 2023
Unreal! Fantastic production. Well directed and produced. Acting was brilliant and the lighting and sound effects were amazing. Our seats on the upper circle were spot on. Brilliant view. Cant recommend this show enough. Myself and my daughter have watched Matilda several times on TV (were both adults!) and the show and performance didnt disappoint. Well done to everyone involved.
Emer, 02 Nov 2023
Brilliant performance We took our daughter for her 9th birthday and she absolutely loved it, as did we
Nick, 25 Oct 2023
A must see ! Funny, Nice story, amazing show, you’ll regret if you don’t go see the show….
Anja, 15 Oct 2023
My 7 year year old absolutely loved this show After taking my daughter to this show and not having seen the movie, it was absolutely brilliant. The actress playing Matilda was amazing. She made her day.
Karla, 14 Oct 2023
Outstanding! This site was phenomenal and totally exceeded all expectations. There were certainly some stars-in-the-making on stage tonight.
Caryn, 14 Sep 2023
Amazing! Blown away by the children’s acting and sing skills. It was if they been doing it for years. Very talented people.
Debbie, 14 Sep 2023
Standing Ovation Great performance enjoyed by all. Standing ovation even the upper tiers.

Andriana, 03 Sep 2023
Loved Matilda The show was fabulous from start to finish, the children all sang their hearts out
Beverley, 24 Aug 2023
Matilda Saturday Matinee Show didn’t come up to my expectations
grace, 19 Aug 2023
Great! A great musical for everyone!
Sandy, 02 Aug 2023
Just brilliant ! We took our 4yr old granddaughter as she loves the musical film
This was her first time going to the theatre , she was mesmerised throughout the whole show . Being tiny her seat kept folding up but we asked the staff for a booster seat and that resolved the problem . It is definitely worth paying the extra for first row seats in the Dress Circle if you have little ones as you have a clear view of the stage ,
Caroline, 30 Jul 2023
Must see! The show was enjoyable for the whole family with some magical surprises thrown in
Joanne, 22 Jul 2023
Fantastic Acting,dancing,singing and stage props and effects were superb. The cast got a standing ovation which was justly deserved. 5 ⭐️ ??
Catherine, 19 Jul 2023
Great story and excellent cast Loved the show overall - it’s a heartwarming story. A few jokes aimed at the kids in the audience and a few more adult themes hinted at. The volume of the speakers was just a bit too high and actually we struggled to make out the words in places as result of it all just being too loud. Could benefit from paring back rather than adding to it, in terms of the lighting flashes and stuff. The moving chalk etc was subtler and consequently actually much more enjoyable.
Loved the comic Mrs Trunchbull and the very well acted Miss Honey had an angelic voice. Matilda herself was great, a very impressive young actress. Overall a great experience, much recommended !
Mary, 28 May 2023
Fantastic Show There was something for the old and the young with this show.
A definite must to go and see.
It is loud but the kids loved it.
Michelle, 07 May 2023
It’s a must see for sure! The show from the begging to the ending was exciting and emotional. The lighting were impressive. I recommend the seats as high as possible because there is a better view. Well done every one from the actors, to the directors and staff and band. Really good.
DANIELA, 27 Apr 2023
Matilda-Loved It! We met in London for a mother/daughter weekend and decided to get tickets months in advance for Matilda-my daughter's favorite childhood story! Best decision ever! The cast was so talented and the costumes, makeup and special effects incredible! Only surprise to us Canadians was that the standing ovation did not include the entire theatre! There should have been at least 19 curtain calls! Outstanding!
Jacqueline, 24 Apr 2023
The Best Show Ever It was a fabulous show. The staging was incredible and the acting was fantastic especially Matilda and Miss Truchball!! The staff were so helpful and accommodating. Their were long cues for the toilets, but that is expected where their are so many people. I would also suggest that you pre-order drinks and get snacks and drinks when you sit down at the start of the show.
Kate, 23 Apr 2023
Granddaughters birthday treat Took my 6 year old granddaughter she loves Matilda she loved it she had a booster seat we were in the upper circle but good seats clear view excellent show the kids are great in it Matilda is great and Mrs trunchball was excellent definitely recommend seeing this show had a fun afternoon
Christine, 23 Apr 2023
Great Show!!! Very Impressive Show!
Sandra, 08 Apr 2023
Must see show Fantastic show! Superb performances. A thoroughly enjoyable show… Only draw back was the limited room of the seating. Struggled with room for jacket, bag, programmes and bar drinks and snacks. Felt crammed into seats which was a bit uncomfortable.
Julie-Ann, 08 Apr 2023
Great show! Great show, funny, warm, clever and enjoyable!
Rosarie, 07 Apr 2023
In the words of our sometimes moody adolescent, "just wonderful" Thoroughly enjoyable show for all ages, highly recommended. A lovely evening
Austyn, 05 Apr 2023
Funny, flawless, fab. Amazing. The cast were great. The songs, the dancing, the funnies - all spot on.
Marina, 29 Mar 2023
Excellent The cast was incredibly talented, the songs had our daughter singing right along, and the few new songs added were a nice change from the movie. Overall, wonderful experience.
Katie, 23 Mar 2023
Fantastic. Matilda the actress is as extraordinary as Matilda the character The show was stunning. Fast paced and even a little scary at times. How on earth The actress playing Matilda (Victoria Alsina) remembered all her lines is beyond me.
Every member of the cast was amazing.
Brilliant!
Rachel, 10 Mar 2023
Great show Loved the music.
Elli-Louise, 19 Feb 2023
Amazing! Brilliantly acted by amazingly talented children and adults. Great music and lighting.

Extraordinary It was very amusing, but wear warm clothes because the theatre was cold
Naomi, 22 Jan 2023
Matilda! A Must See! Perfect for the entire family. My daughter and I loved everything about the show! What a talented cast.

Eunji, 06 Nov 2022
Marvellous Matilda The show exceeded my expectations. The children were outstanding as we're the rest of the cast. Would return again tonight if I could!
Elizabeth Alison, 15 Oct 2022
Fantastic Amazing show that my children (7 and 11 yrs) enjoyed very much. The music could have been a little quieter at some points.
Khadijeh, 06 Oct 2022
Fantastic production with an amazing cast Wonderful performance featuring a talented cast of all ages. Additional bonus was after the show, all actors were very accommodating with my 5 year old daughter, giving her hugs, signatures and flowers.
If you want a good night in London, Matilda the musical is a must.
Mark, 17 Sep 2022
would see again Wow so amazing. I had listened to this but the live stage version adds so much. Brilliant production. Great for family and children.
Joel, 15 Sep 2022
Amazing performance The show was so bright and like a movie ! The actors and actresses were amazing <3
Rachel, 20 Aug 2022
Watch out for matinee's stand in lead. The show was good,i took my grandaughter for her birthday she enjoyed it but like me was not impressed with Matilda, robot speech and acting, voice like a boy never smiled or seem to enjoy her/himself!
Barbara, 09 Aug 2022
Exciting and fascinating Very well done. Lots of ideas for our own musical productions.
You will be surprised. This is not just for children.
Meriel, 27 Jul 2022
Matilda Technically Sound was terrible. Hard to understand what actors were saying.
Polia, 27 Jul 2022

Amanda, 05 Jun 2022
Beautifully crafted Beautifully crafted performance. Everything flowed so gracefully-the choreography, the music and the movement. Loved the art and stage scenes too! Brilliant!
Hetal, 24 May 2022
Unbelievably amazing!!! A state of the art musical for anyone and everyone!!! It was definitely beyond my expectations. Those kids are incredibly talented!
Luana, 20 May 2022
Brilliant My son (aged 7) was a little tired through the first half but he was on the edge of his seat for the whole of the second half - the “Revolting Children” number was particularly brilliant and Matilda herself was absolutely amazing!
David, 01 May 2022
Very enjoyable The children in the show were fantastic
Mairead, 23 Apr 2022
Brilliant show This was the first time I had taken my daughters (aged 7 and 8) to the theatre . They loved it! The show was brilliant. We are already planning our next trip.

Phenomenal Cast were brilliant, script was brilliant, Just a delight to watch
Rob, 18 Apr 2022
Average Not really true to the movie or book, both of which I’m a big fan. Was an average musical but a little disappointed with the story line
Leticia, 12 Apr 2022
Just a good second time around, recommend to everybody Wonderful show, it's so good to be back in London and visiting the theatres again. Matilda is suitable for all ages, wonderful songs, great storyline. Took my 15 year old granddaughter as our birthday treat and she loved it 10/10 was her comment.
Lindy, 09 Apr 2022
Matilda review Amazing show from start to finish. loved the Trunchbull! very talented cast and crew
Yvonne, 08 Apr 2022
entertainment for my family Good show for all of my family. My teenage daughters knew the story and appreciated the difference to the film. My 12 year old boy couldn’t take his eyes off it, otherwise I don’t know what was in his head. My wife who’s English isn’t so good enjoyed the spectacle but couldn’t follow the story. I enjoyed a show that I wouldn’t have chosen thinking of myself alone.
Roger, 06 Apr 2022
Amazing! We loved the show from start to finish! Matilda was amazing and overall 5*. A must watch!! Highly recommended.
Tajinder, 31 Mar 2022
Brilliant show but spoiled by the barre and eaters The show is brilliant. The decor too.
The adults actors were amazing. Strong voice on key.
Kids were pretty good too but not always loud enough and on key.
Amanda, 27 Mar 2022
Fantastic show overall Fantastic acting especially the kids
Set was fantastic
Elaine, 25 Mar 2022

Jordan, 05 Feb 2022
outstanding performance Great for a family evening out
Terry, 29 Jan 2022
All you want to see great acting,singing dancing, lights show As above
simmy, 29 Jan 2022
Show full of highlights! The kids were fantastic. I expected a little bit more of magic from Matilda. She was a fantastic actress, singer and performed very well but sometimes I wished she could smile a little more during the story telling so that the publikum could feel the enthusiasm. She was sometimes too serious for me. The show was really amazing. Congratulations again for the children. I also missed the red ribbon on matildas hair. I would definetly recomend it!
Isabel, 19 Jan 2022
Funny and gripping brilliantly performed A thrillling show fantastically performed with great choreography and a very skilled cast. Brilliant
Lucy, 17 Jan 2022
Great kids playing Great show , recommended for anyone
OLEG, 19 Dec 2021
Splendid It was an exciting show in terms of acting and dancing. A bit funny also. It was too loud, and bright for me. In my tickets it wasn't mentioned that it might be too loud or bright, I think it should be there in case of anyone can be triggered by that.
Sarah, 10 Dec 2021
Wonderful Great story, great kids, great villain. What more can you want?
Dean, 07 Dec 2021
Smart, funny and incredibly engaging show! 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The music was wonderful, the actors were incredible. We already loved the story, but the musical took it to another dimension. We will definitely see that one again!
Jennifer, 27 Nov 2021
