The musical played a sell-out Christmas season from 9 December 2010 (previews from 9 November) to 30 January 2011 at the RSC’s temporary Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The musical is directed by Matthew Warcus with design by Rob Howell, choreography by Peter Darling, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, musical supervision and orchestration by Christopher Nightingale and sound by Simon Baker. Special effects and illusions are by Paul Kieve.
Matilda is produced in the West End by the Royal Shakespeare Company with Andre Ptaszynski as executive producer.
