Matilda The Musical to tour Australia in 2027

The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Matilda The Musical is scheduled to return to Australia in 2027. The tour will begin at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre in October 2027, before traveling to the Sydney Lyric and QPAC’s Lyric Theatre in Brisbane.

Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, the musical features music and lyrics by Australian composer Tim Minchin. The production returns to Australian stages more than a decade after its original national tour, which ran from 2015 to 2017 and saw over one million theatregoers. That previous run earned the production a record 13 Helpmann Awards in 2016.
