Matilda The Musical – Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham

Plan your school trip to Matilda The Musical for an inspiring educational experience, free teaching resources and a comprehensive planning guide.

Inspired by the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical bursts into life on stage telling the story of one extraordinary girl, with one extraordinary mind.

Meet Matilda Wormwood. This brave little bookworm uses her intelligence, wit and magical powers to outsmart her uncaring parents and bullying headteacher Miss Trunchbull. Armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, Matilda dares to take a stand and change her own destiny and those around her.

With a book by Dennis Kelly and featuring much-loved original songs penned by Tim Minchin, including When I Grow Up, Revolting Children and Naughty, Matilda The Musical is a joyous story of bravery and rebellion.

This global phenomenon from the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is celebrating 15 years of musical magic in London’s West End, has won over 100 international awards and now returns to the Hippodrome stage next summer.
