Gina Beck joined the company as Miss Honey the year before, and continues in the role, while Isobel Hubble and Francesca McKeown have joined Sara Munday and Olivia Wells in sharing the title role of Matilda.
The piece is written by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, and was developed and directed by Matthew Warchus. The production is designed by Rob Howell, with choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker and the special effects and illusions are by Paul Kieve.
The London production of Matilda is booking until 20 October 2019 whilst the UK and Ireland tour will be playing in cities across the country until 17 August 2019.
