Matilda The Musical has entered its fifteenth year in London, making it the 10th longest running musical in West End history.

With tickets now on sale through January 2027, the multi-award-winning production has now been seen by over 12 million people across 100 cities worldwide.

The show also heads on its second major UK and Irelannd tour this month, opening in Leicester Curve on 6 October 2025. 

A tonic for audiences of all ages, this anarchic production about a strong and determined heroine with a vivid imagination has had more than 10,000 performances worldwide and won 101 international awards including 24 for Best Musical.

Tamara Harvey and Daniel Evans, RSC Co-Artistic Directors, said:

"After its premiere 15 years ago in Stratford-upon-Avon, Matilda Wormwood’s genius is still teaching us that 'even if you’re little you can do a lot’.

"As the show reaches many new milestones, the RSC is incredibly proud of the ongoing success of Matilda The Musical. We’re thrilled to see how Matilda’s spirit continues to inspire and bring joy to new generations of children and families in London and in theatres across the country."

Matilda The Musical has become the 10th longest running musical on the West End.
