MetroWeekly - Recommended

"...Adapted from Roald Dahl’s novel by writer Dennis Kelly and composer Tim Minchin, and directed by Matthew Warchus, Matilda registers almost as a circus act, particularly in Act One, which flits from one exaggerated, eccentric scene to the next. There’s a dose of melodrama one moment, some cheap laughs the next, then a high-wire trick, before another bout of melodrama. It’s catnip for kids, who gleefully step right up to see the assortment of freakish adults — including Matilda’s stupid, vain, unloving parents (Cassie Silva and Quinn Mattfeld) — on display."

MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"...Undeniably, Matilda the Musical is fun, fun, fun for all, big and small. Tim Minchin’s rockin’ music and lyrics are clever and catchy, they’ve been stuck in my head for days, and book-writer Dennis Kelly has kept close all the very best parts of Roald Dahl’s beloved classic. Without a doubt, the cast of kids is the best part of Matilda the Musical and, happily, they are featured most prominently."
