The Royal Shakespeare Company’s smash hit production of Matilda The Musical, based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book, will visit Milton Keynes Theatre from Wed 28 Oct – Sat 14 Nov 2026.
The internationally renowned musical continues to play to packed houses in the West End at the Cambridge Theatre and has been seen by 12 million people across 100 cities around the world.
This anarchic production, about a strong and determined heroine with a vivid imagination, has won over 100 global awards, including 24 for Best Musical. A film adaptation made by the core creative team received its World Premiere at the London Film Festival in October 2022 and can now be watched on Netflix.
“ It’s great to get the chance to bring this little girl’s story to people in their home cities and towns, and to all those theatres where theatre really matters,” said writer Dennis Kelly.
“When we first started working on the show, our aim was to make a lovely little jewel of a musical for the RSC’s Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon,” Composer and lyricist Tim Minchin recalled, “We never imagined that all these years later it would still be running in the West End, have been made into a film, and is now about to embark on its second tour of the UK and Ireland.
"I’m deeply proud of Matilda The Musical, and every single talented person who continues to work on it with passion and enthusiasm.”
