Based on the beloved Roald Dahl book, with music and lyrics from musical comedian Tim Minchin, Matilda The Musical is a delightful production of the well-known tale. If the 86 major international awards (including 7 Olivier Awards!) aren’t enough to persuade you then we don’t know what is!

White Christmas
