Drury Lane Theatre Presents: Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical Tickets

First off, I have seen and been following the show MATILDA since it's debut in Stratford in 2010. I being inspired by how miraculous the story intertwines, the music, dancing and just the unique show itself - how it is deep but heartwarming. What makes the show miraculous is the factors that made it an Awarding-Winning Musical. When you take out those factors and create your own ''image'' it faulers with emotion and magic. First off, the opening scene is a birthday scene with a ''birthday table'' in the script. No table at all. Having a table is part of the fun part of the scene. The table is the ''prop''. The kids stood isolated vs at a table together upping one another how they are a ''miracle.'' The other scene was hideous in "When I Grow Up" where adult characters would lip sync a child's voice. It had no emotion. Normally, this is another magically and emotional scene. You see, the scene calls for swings and builds into this beautiful swing playground scene. The swings as it was written symbolize ''childhood'. What happens when you take those items out? It becomes very awkward. Having the center of the scene's prop creates the emotion of the scene. It would be the first time I did not get teary seeing this scene which is normally very moving. Normally adults walk out teary thinking of their youth, and children walk out pondering about their adulthood or ''when I grow up". Everything means something on the stage. It's like having no table an chair in the "Empty Chairs and Tables" scene from Les Miz. The dancing and talent were beautiful. The MICHAEL character came off very annoying and stupid ever more so. The kid actors and Matilda's were miraculous adorable and talented. The show itself was dark with women dressed in dark vintage wear and black Funeral like dresses and veils. The cast came out in street wear at the bows. It just seemed off. It was good thanks to the wonderful cast but lacked depth from the directional point. If your going to do an Awarding Winning show that has won based on is beauty, and direction, don't need to change it to loose the emotional appeal and magic. This was the first time I saw this production that I wasn't moved but the talented cast made me move with their talents.

It was a great experience and the performance was delightful, well done! Also we got to our seats with no problem! Everyone at the Drury Lane was very nice.

We took 3 of our grand children and they loved the production. What a great time. It was great to introduce them to the arts. We had seen beauty and the beast there a couple of months back. Both were great thank you

What a wonderful musical. Everyone was full of energy and the performance was magnificent.

Matilda the Musical was MORE than we expected. I took two teenage grand girls to see it and they were amazed. The talent of the entire cast was excellent! The music and dancing was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

Rip-roaring hilarious fun time! Fantastic cast and several rising young stars. The energy of the kids is infectious!

This was an excellent play! I took my daughter who is 6 to see Matilda and she loved it! The actors did a wonderful job bringing the story and characters from the book to life. The singing and costumes were charming as well as the stage props. The effects used for the return of Magnus scene was perfect. All in all an excellent show

There part were upsetting for 7- 8 grades. I had two girls crying. I turn around real fast to make sure they were ok. That no one was hurting them.

I think this show was mis advertised.i paid full price for tickets thinking I was going to get a professional experience. I felt like I was watching my children’s school performance. The young girl chosen for Matilda role was awful. Couldn’t hit a note and could hardly understand what she was saying. I’ve watched many shows at Drury Lane and this was by far the worst. It actually put me off returning to this theater. I have seen mamma Mia, little shot of horrors, 42nd street, all we’re fantastic. This one a big miss.
