Matilda Cancels First Week of Previews
 |
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Matilda has cancelled the first week of previews at the Cambridge Theatre following problems that have delayed the installation of the show. The keenly-anticipated production had been due to begin performances on Tuesday 18th October 2011. The first preview will now take place a week later on Tuesday 25th October, with the opening night pushed back to Thursday 24th November from Tuesday 22nd November. People who have booked for the cancelled preview performances will be offered alternative performance dates. |
Pre-Opening Challenges Cause DelaysMatilda’s Executive Producer, André Ptaszynski, said: “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. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to people who had booked for these early performances and we are working hard to ensure that the re-booking or refunding process is as quick and as easy as possible.” Starring Paul Kaye and Josie Walker |

Her mother would rather go ballroom dancing than spend time with her daughter, whilst her father gloats endlessly about his latest dodgy deal down at the garage. Life isn't much better at school, where the monstrous Miss Trunchbull punishes the children with relish. Then, one day, Matilda discovers she has a very special power and decides it's time to get her own back and teach the grownups a lesson! Many of Matilda’s Stratford cast will reprise their hilarious roles in the West End, including Paul Kaye (Mr Wormwood), Bertie Carvel (Miss Trunchbull), Josie Walker (Mrs Wormwood) and Lauren Ward (Miss Honey). |
