Matilda
Matilda the Musical is a stage musical based on the 1988 children's novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. It was adapted by Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin. The musical's narrative centres on Matilda, a precocious 5-year-old girl with the gift of telekinesis, who loves reading, overcomes obstacles caused by her family and school, and helps her teacher to reclaim her life. After a twelve-week trial run staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) at Stratford-upon-Avon from November 2010 to January 2011, it received its West End premiere on 24 November 2011 at the Cambridge Theatre and its Broadway premiere on 11 April 2013 at the Shubert Theatre.
Matilda has received widespread critical acclaim and box-office popularity, winning seven 2012 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musicalat the time, the most such awards ever won by a single show.[3] At the 2013 Olivier Awards, the show jointly held the record with the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time[5] before both were overtaken by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in 2017 with 9 awards,[6] however Matilda still holds the record for most Olivier awards won by a musical, tying with Hamilton in 2018.
