Matilda Cancels Previews

The first five previews of the RSC production of Matilda the Musical at the Cambridge Theatre have been cancelled and the opening night put back until 24th November. Previews will now begin on 25th October.

People who have booked tickets for the cancelled previews will be contacted to arrange tickets for alternaitve performances.

A considerable amount of strucutural work is required to house the show at the theatre and this has taken longer than expected.

Andre Ptaszynski, Executive Producer, explained, “Every musical theatre production of this scale goes through similar challenges during this pre-opening period, but Matilda has a cast made up of three different teams of young actors and four young actresses in the title role. This means that, unlike other shows, we cannot extend everyone’s working hours, take shortcuts and reduce the number of dress rehearsals to meet the date of the first preview.”
