Matilda, one of Roald Dahl's all-time classics, will be returning to the big screen later this year with a musical twist thanks to Netflix. The stage show, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, first opened on stage in 2010.
Since then, the Royal Shakespeare Company production has been performed worldwide and has received countless awards, including seven Olivier Awards and five Tony Awards. Now, those who missed it on stage will be able to catch it on screen thanks to streaming giant Netflix.
The musical adaptation has been directed by Matthew Warchus and written by Dennis Kelly. According to Shortlist, Matilda is the second-most popular Roald Dahl book, being beaten to the top spot by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
