Matilda The Musical announces extension
I am pleased to inform you that following a run of sensational sell-out performances and a record breaking 7 Olivier Awards, the RSC's production of MATILDA THE MUSICAL has now been extended until 17th February 2013.
It has also been announced that some casting changes will take place in the next few months. Bertie Carvel who picked up the Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical on Sunday will be leaving the show and will play his last performance as Miss Trunchbull on 1st July 2012.
His replacement is still to be announced.
At the same time, Hayley Flaherty and Steve Furst will take over as Miss Honey and Mr. Wormwood, respectively, from mid April.
Roald Dahl's magical story about a girl with extraordinary powers has been a favourite novel for millions of people across the world since it was published in 1988.
The show leads the 2012 Olivier Awards nominations by being nominated for 10 awards, the maximum number a musical can be recognised for. The final results will be announced very soon.
MATILDA THE MUSICAL is currently booking until 17th February 2013 at Cambridge Theatre.
