Matilda Comes To Singapore
If you’ve never read the book or watched the movie, here’s a breakdown of the plot.
The musical follows Matilda, a precocious 5-year-old girl who loves reading and learning but is suppressed by her TV-obsessed parents who pay her little attention and bullied by her formidable school headmistress Miss Trunchbull for being too smart.

Be prepared to delight in the witty musical numbers featuring beloved hits such as ‘Naughty’ and ‘When I Grow Up’, it’s no surprise that the musical has bagged a trunkful of awards, including five Tony Awards and seven Olivier Awards.
