Roald Dahl’s cheeky little heroine leaps from the West End stage to the big screen in this charming musical.


Everyone's favourite little rascal is back, and this time she's got a few musical numbers up her sleeve! Young newcomer Alisha Weir takes on the role of Matilda Wormwood - a little girl with a sharp mind, a vivid imagination, and the worst parents in the world. While her parents prioritise trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes over caring for their child, Matilda is a quiet observer who seeks escapism through her beloved books and plotting cheeky acts of rebellion. 

Filled with show-stopping performances and plenty of charm, Matthew Warchus' on-screen adaptation of the award-winning West End musical features a vibrant cast of incredible British talent, including Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough as Matilda's neglectful parents, Lashana Lynch as the inspirational Miss Honey, and Emma Thompson as the villainous Miss Trunchbull.
