Matilda the Musical – Live in Blenheim 2026

Get ready for a night of mischief, magic, and music! Matilda the Musical brings Roald Dahl’s beloved story to life in a hilarious, high-energy production that’s perfect for the whole family.

Meet Matilda – a little girl with a big brain, a wild imagination, and a knack for standing up to bullies. She’s ignored by her awful parents and terrorised by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull, but with courage, cleverness, and a few surprising powers, Matilda shows everyone that even the smallest person can make a big difference.

Packed with catchy songs by Tim Minchin, dazzling choreography, and laugh-out-loud moments, this show will have you cheering for Matilda and her classmates as they take on the grown-ups and rewrite their own destinies.
With an all-local cast, this Blenheim production will be the must-see event of 2026 – a joyful celebration of bravery, friendship, and finding your voice.

Book early – this one will sell fast!
