This weekend our friends visiting from Vancouver treated us to a night out at the Cambridge Theatre to see Matilda The Musical.

Who didn’t love Matilda growing up?

She was sassy, read books and could stand up to the meanest of headmasters. 

The musical does not disappoint the lovers of Roald Dahl’s book – it’s equal parts silly and dark, with the true spirit of kids coming through in every scene. The actors from the first song hold the audience captivated with a great story and crazy song and dance numbers.

Matilda was one of the best shows I’ve seen in London and miles ahead of other theatre adaptations (like Shrek…). GO SEE IT!
