London Teater: Matilda den musikalske

Saw this shis a few years ago and it was fabulous..great magical effects and strong storyline similar to book and film..took the grandchildren to see it and it was totally different..quite weak...changed the story..ridiculous beginning about being pregnant??? Silly story about an escapologist?Absolutely no special powers or effects from Matilda which is the whole point of the story..English accents from Matildas parents..sorry but disappointing for a west end show

An Incredible Matilda Experience ✨ What an incredible experience seeing Matilda! 🎭✨ We made a full day of it, starting with a visit to Chinatown for some food before heading to the theatre, followed by a trip to Oxford Street. It was such a lovely way to spend the day in London. The theatre was really easy to get to and the seating was good. The theatre itself was decorated around the theme of the show, which made the whole experience feel magical from the moment we arrived. The food and drinks inside were quite expensive, but I think this is pretty standard for theatre and West End prices. If you want to save a little money, I’d recommend getting some food and drinks beforehand. Then came the show, and honestly, what a performance! The whole cast were absolutely brilliant and incredibly talented. Miss Trunchbull was especially fantastic during this performance and was definitely a standout for me. Bruce was another highlight and gave such a memorable performance. Matilda herself was clearly a very talented young performer, and what an amazing performance she gave. The whole cast really brought the show to life, and you could see how much talent went into the production. Overall, it was everything I hoped a West End show would be magical, entertaining and absolutely brilliant! ✨ I would highly recommend seeing Matilda. You definitely won’t be disappointed! ❤️🎭

Terrible! Misses the point of Matilda completely, turns it into a drag artist sideshow! Offending for young eyes and impressionable minds. My daughter kept asking when relatable lovable parts in the movie were going to come up, they never came. It’s so disjointed from the original it’s unrecognisable to even call it Matilda. Save your money, and rewatch the film at home you’ll enjoy it much more than this rubbish.

Amazing show, easy to get in with our Viator tickets. The children and Trunchbull were a delight, and so was the rest of the cast!

Sorry to have to say but this musical was just awful. You could barely understand Matilda’s words. The actors, both the children and adults literally screamed their lines the entire performance. And, the man who plays Mrs Trunchbull blows this incredibly loud whistle for a prolonged time, and repeatedly during the show. My ears felt like they were on fire. I wanted so badly to leave during the intermission, but stayed to see if it got any better. Unfortunately it did not. I saw many others not return to their seats after the intermission. Save your money for another show. This one seriously disappoints.

It’s a brilliant show, full of drama, great tunes and clever staging. At times the story becomes a little dark and Miss Trunchball can be a bit aggressive so suggest not for too young a child. There are flashing lights and loud noises at times too.

We were in the upper seating, it was hard to see and hear. I am sure the play was wonderful, we couldn't understand many of the words from being far and also had to stand or lift up to see some acts. I wish it was better explained in buying the tickets. The theater itself was clean, well-managed with staff, The seating between us in upper and the floor level was full of students who were loud and misbehaving. Actually, tossing items over the ledge to the lower guests, ice. what have you. I am sure they wished us full paying customers were in those seats when the guests downstairs spoke up.

This show was absolutely fantastic to watch, some great humour added in and the young lady who plays Matilda is absolutely incredible.

We saw this show yesterday afternoon 2pm (12 April 2025) and It was exquisite. The young girl who played Matilda was excellent. Cannot believe how good she was in that role. Very well rehearsed and not a line out of place. Congratulations young lady. You have a bright future ahead of you !! The cast was brilliant too.

I was very disappointed watching Matilda. I didn't understand the plot and was told by friends that it was about little girl who knew how to do magic but what I discovered was the story was very complicated disjointed the sound was very poor so the wording was muffled and I found it quite hard to follow I didn't enjoy it however with that being said I thought Matilda herself was very good actress a lot of lines a lot of movement and dancing and she had a lot of stamina as did all the cast. I wouldn't advise to go and see this it just seemed like a lot of screaming kids running around.
