The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced that its multi award-winning production of Matilda The Musical will make its North East debut at Sunderland Empire.
The show, based on the Roald Dahl book, will run from Tuesday 8 May – Saturday 2 June 2018.
“I - like millions of others - feel like Dahl is in my blood, because I grew up with his books. So to have contributed to a piece of work that brings one of his most famous stories to life is one of my life's great joys. I’m utterly thrilled that audiences in cities all across the UK and Ireland will now share and be part of Matilda’s story.”
