See the musical that has received rave reviews, called "more glorious
than promised" by the New York Times and named by Time Magazine as the #1 show of the year. MATILDA the Musical comes to the Fox Theater Oct. 21 through Nov. 1. It's the first national tour of MATILDA, produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Dodgers.
Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, MATILDA continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages on Broadway and in London's West End.
The winner of 50 international awards, including four Tony Awards, is the story of an extraordinary young girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
The show has been called "deliriously amusing" and "heartwarming." The Wall Street Journal says "The makers of MATILDA have done the impossible - triumphantly! It is smart, sweet, zany and stupendous fun."
Show times are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $25 to $88. Part of the U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fox.
