It has been 15 years since it opened at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon and the musical was a sell-out success when the Royal Shakespeare Company first toured it in 2018/19.
Since then, it has been performed in 100 cities across 17 countries worldwide, won more than 100 international awards, including 24 for Best Musical, and delighted over 12 million audiences worldwide.
A 'unique and unforgettable' global phenomenon, according to Rolling Stone magazine Matilda will be returning to Birmingham Hippodrome from Wednesday July 1 to Sunday August 2. Tickets are set to go on sale later this month.
