Matilda The Musical is coming to Sydney in August 2015

 

Matilda the Musical, featuring lyrics and music by Australia’s Tim Minchin, will make its Australian debut at the Sydney Lyric Theatre in August 2015. Based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book Matilda, the show tells the story of a young girl with big dreams who decides take charge of her life. Minchin is delighted to be bringing the show home. ‘Working on Matilda has been one of the greatest thrills of my life, and I’ve been aching to let her loose on audiences at home. Most of us grew up reading Dahl – the Australian sense of humour gels so well with his dark, iconoclastic tone.’ The show has been a standout success in both London and New York, winning a total of 47 awards including several Oliviers and Tonys. TIME Magazine ranked it as the number show for 2013.
