Co-Artistic Directors Eddie Perfect and Ali McGregor announced on stage during The Last Galah that next year’s Festival will be bigger than ever before as Matilda The Musical will run before, during and after the 2017 Adelaide Cabaret Festival opening on 20 May 2017 in the Festival Theatre.
2016 Helpmann Award Nominations topped off the week as the news that the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Australian Production of Matilda The Musical received a record thirteen nominations including one for Tim Minchin for Best Original Score.
Matilda The Musical is based on the beloved novel by best-selling author Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr. Fox). It is the story of an extraordinary girl who armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
Having proven an enormous success internationally, where productions continue to play to packed houses and capture the imagination of young and old alike, Matilda The Musical opened to unqualified rave reviews in Sydney last year. The Daily Review described the production as “nothing short of a miracle”. The Australian said the show “makes you want to punch the air with delight.” and Time Out Sydney pronounced the show “a freaking masterpiece.”
Matilda The Musical is directed by Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus (God of Carnage), who helms this production with a book by Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly and music and lyrics by Australian Tim Minchin.
The set for the Australian production was built right here in Adelaide by Adelaide Festival Centre workshops.
The New York production of Matilda The Musical opened on 11 April 2013 at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre to rapturous reviews and was celebrated on 10 “Top Ten” lists for 2013, including TIME Magazine’s #1 Show of the Year.
