West End Smarter-Than-Ever Sensation Matilda The Musical Announces Extended Run at the Liverpool Empire

Theatre producers have officially broken their silence today, confirming that the multi-award-winning Royal Shakespeare Company production of Matilda The Musical will land at the Liverpool Empire Theatre for a massive four-week engagement next season. Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, the spectacular staging has become a global phenomenon, celebrated for its anarchic energy, ingenious set design, and sharp musical numbers. Tourism leaders have hailed the announcement as a monumental win for the city’s theatre economy, predicting it will draw tens of thousands of family tourists and musical theatre enthusiasts to Lime Street from across the North West. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale to the general public later this month, with theatre bosses bracing for record-breaking box office demand.
