The story of an extraordinary little girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Winner of over 50 major international awards, including 13 for Best Musical, Matilda continues to delight audiences in London.
Matilda is a captivating musical that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination, and the inspiring story of a girl who dared to change her destiny. This magical show is pure escapism for all ages and the lead performance of the young Matilda has to be seen with your own eyes to believe. Never before has such a young talent-filled a West End stage so magnificently.Stadium-selling comedian Tim Minchin provides original songs, prolific Matthew Warchus directs, and the acclaimed writer Dennis Kelly delivers the book. Together they create a stunning new musical, based on the original story by the inimitable Roald Dahl.
Don’t miss today’s tickets to see Room on the Broom, adapted for the stage by critically acclaimed theatre company, Tall Stories.
How the cat purred and how the witch grinned as they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind.
The witch and her cat are flying happily along on their broomstick when a stormy wind blows the witch’s hat, bow and wand away into the night. With the help of a daft dog, a beautiful bird and a friendly frog, her belongings are retrieved. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK! - it snaps in two!
When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?
