Gala Premiere of Matilda The Musical

An alert to those who hoarded and loved reading Roald Dahl books during your childhood. You’re in for a real treat! The multi award-winning production of Matilda The Musical – a stage adaptation of the novel, Matilda has returned to Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.

The musical is about 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 continues to wins hearts and minds of audiences all around the world, and remains one of the brightest lights on London’s West End. 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 colorful alphabet letters hung up all around the stage. With an awesome cast of young performers, Matilda inspires and delights audiences both young and old.

Matilda The Musical brought back some of my childhood memories. It was funny and had a message of hope as its theme. Fans of the book will not be disappointed with this brilliant production. I would recommend this show to everyone, as it is a musical with fresh twists and is a delight to watch.

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 Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands Singapore from now till 07 April 2024.
