Gala Premiere of Matilda The Musical

An alert to those who hoarded a series of Roald Dahl books during your childhood, you’re in for a real treat! Matilda The Musical – a stage adaptation of the novel Matilda has arrived in Singapore. The Singapore season marks the first time the hit musical has ventured to Asia. Matilda The Musical was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and played to sold-out audiences at the RSC’s The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in England for 12 weeks from November 2010 to January 2011.

 
The musical follows Matilda Wormwood, a precocious 5-year-old girl who loves reading and learning, but is unloved by her parents who pay her little attention. She is also bullied by her formidable school headmistress Miss Trunchbull. She overcomes her obstacles with the help of her class teacher Miss Honey and the Librarian Mrs Phelps. Together they give her the confidence to embrace her special gift. 

 
Inspired by the beloved book by the famous author Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical has taken both London’s West End and Broadway by storm, garnering five-star reviews across the board. While the musical does follow closely to the original plot in the novel, the musical gives an alternate refreshing twist to the book. An example would be that the infamous child-tossing Miss Trunchbull is played by a man in the play!

 
I love the vivid stage sets which feature the wacky props like swings and colourful alphabet letters hung up all around the stage. With an awesome cast of young performers, Matilda inspires and delights audiences both young and old.

 
I had the pleasure to attend the Gala Premiere of Matilda The Musical all thanks to Base Entertainment Asia. This musical brought back some of my childhood memories! I would recommend this show to everyone, as it is a musical with fresh twists and is a delight to watch. Fans of the book will not be disappointed with this brilliant production

 
Charming, funny and full of hope, Matilda the Musical will delight little ones and transport you right back to your childhood. The musical brings the magic of Roald Dahl’s fictional world to Marina Bay Sands from now till 17 March 2019.
