The RSC’s MATILDA THE MUSICAL to reopen in the West End this September

The West End production of the RSC’s Matilda the Musical will return to the Cambridge Theatre from 16 September 2021, it has been announced today.

This Autumn marks 10 years since the award-winning show opened in London, with the current booking period running until 13 February 2022.

RSC Executive Director, Catherine Mallyon, said: “It is fantastic to see London’s West End re-opening and for our company, freelance colleagues and creative team to be back at the Cambridge Theatre, preparing for performances in the autumn. We all know how challenging the past year has been, and that makes this moment even more special and important. We will not only celebrate 10 brilliant years of Matilda The Musical in the West End, but also that our audiences can join us once again to experience the power of live theatre.”

Matilda The Musical, based on Roald Dahl’s much-loved 1988 book, premiered at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2010, before transferring to the West End in October 2011, where it opened to critical acclaim.

The upcoming film adaptation is helmed by the same core creative team as the theatre production, with direction by Matthew Warchus, screen adaptation by Dennis Kelly, and music/lyrics by Tim Minchin.

The stage production is designed by Rob Howell, with choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker and special effects and illusions are by Paul Kieve.
