Matilda The Musical

Wellington, get ready! New Zealand's most revolting children are storming the capital for the very first time. Matilda the Musical arrives at St James Theatre in 2026 — and it's going to be spectacular.

About the Show 🎭

Inspired by Roald Dahl's beloved book with original songs by Tim Minchin, this smash-hit stage spectacular is packed with high-energy dance numbers, unforgettable songs (When I Grow Up, Naughty), and plenty of pranks. The show has travelled to 91 cities worldwide, won over 100 international awards (including 24 for Best Musical), and delighted more than 11 million audience members.

At the heart is Matilda — an extraordinary girl with a vivid imagination, sharp mind, and surprising psychokinetic powers. With her kind teacher Miss Honey and a motley crew of fellow rebels, she takes a stand against the terrifying Miss Trunchbull and changes her own destiny.

Why You'll Love It ✨

Dazzling choreography, clever storytelling, and joyous girl power rebellion make this the perfect outing — whether you're seven or seventy.
