standout musical of the decade’.
With a book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda the Musical has captured the hearts and minds of children and adults alike, while effectively tickling their funny bones. “This is a fabulous family musical, but certainly isn’t just for kids,” Mrs Bezzina continues. “Kelly and Minchin’s work has been praised for developing the scope of Dahl’s original story, while creating lovable and hateable characters, funny and witty dialogue, and a plethora of memorable, hummable, and toe-tapping songs. It is a show that will highly entertain the children in the audience and offer plenty for the adults to enjoy too.”
