The RSC production is set to return to the Cambridge Theatre from the 16th September.

It has been confirmed that the Royal Shakespeare Company’s musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic story will return to the West End in September, with tickets going on sale from Monday 10th May.

This announcement also means that Matilda the Musical will be able to celebrate its 10th anniversary in the West End this Autumn, having won numerous awards including 24 for Best Musical. The show is currently the sixth longest running show in the West End and the 16th longest running musical in West End history.

Talking about the news, Catherine Mallyon, RSC Executive Director 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 ten 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 is 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.

The show was written by Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin. The creative team includes direction by Matthew Warchus, designs by Rob Howell, choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker and the special effects and illusions are by Paul Kieve. Full casting for the production will be announced soon.
