‘Matilda’ is coming to Brisbane and Perth

Matilda The Musical, the award-winning show from the Royal Shakespeare Company inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, is currently enjoying a Melbourne season at the Princess Theatre. Last week it was announced that the show will arrive at Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Lyric Theatre in November before heading to Perth’s Crown Theatre in February 2017.

Based on the book by Dennis Kelly and featuring original songs by Tim Minchin, 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.

Winner of 50 major international awards, including 12 for Best Musical, Matilda continues to delight audiences internationally and has already pleased Sydney residents in this production.

The waitlists for Brisbane and Perth tickets are now open. Visit http://au.matildathemusical.com to save your spot.

Interestingly, this will be the first time the Roald Dahl story will be successfully brought to the Perth stage after it failed 17 years ago. Perth-raised Tim Minchin talked to The West Australian about the journey. Read that article at yahoo.com.
