Roald Dahls Matilda the Musical (PG)

Director Matthew Warchus. Comedy/Drama


Matilda Wormwood is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination — and the worst parents in the world. On meeting her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales. Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull. As well as kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are story-loving librarian, Mrs. Phelps, and Matilda’s newfound school friends. Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical is an inspirational musical tale of an extraordinary girl who discovers her superpower and summons the remarkable courage to help others change their stories, and takes charge of her own destiny.

Starring Alisha Weir, Emma Thompson, Lashana Lynch


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

A lively version of this story

Wonderful! true to the story- great songs and not too many! Emma Thompson's Trunchball is awfully pitch perfect . Very enjoyable !

Typical of Roald Dahl's work, but hard to watch at times. Certainly inventive, but enjoyable? Not sure.
