What is Matilda The Musical about?

Matilda The Musical is based on Roald Dahl’s story about an extraordinary little girl with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, who is neglected by her parents and bullied by the fearsome headteacher Miss Trunchbull, but discovers she has special powers and bravely decides to stand up for herself and the people she cares about to change her own destiny.

What are the performance times and running time in Dublin?

In Dublin, evening performances typically start at 7:30 pm with regular 2:30 pm matinees on selected midweek and weekend days, and the running time is about 2 hours 35 minutes including one interval, so you can comfortably plan your travel, dinner, and childcare around a full afternoon or evening at the theatre.

Is Matilda The Musical suitable for children and families?

The age guidance at Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is 6 years and over, under 16s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, and no children under 3 are permitted in the auditorium; the show is family friendly but can be quite loud and intense at times, so it is best for school-age children who can sit through a full-length musical.

Are there any content warnings for the Dublin performances?

The Dublin run uses strobe and flashing lights, smoke and haze, and loud sound effects, and the production in general features bright lighting, lasers, and balloons that may be popped onstage, so it is helpful to consider this if anyone in your group is sensitive to light, sound, or special effects.

How much do tickets for Matilda The Musical in Dublin cost?

Tickets at Bord Gáis Energy Theatre start from around €29.80 for the lowest price bands and increase for better seat locations and more popular dates, so you can pick from cheaper seats further from the stage or pay more for central and closer views on peak performances.

How can I get cheaper tickets for Matilda The Musical in Dublin?

To keep ticket prices down, try to book early while the lowest-priced seats are still available, look for Tuesday to Thursday performances instead of Friday nights and weekends, be flexible with your date and time so you can choose shows that still list the lower “from” price, and consider seats a little further back or to the sides rather than only the most central premium areas.

Are there accessible or chilled performances in Dublin?

The Dublin run includes a chilled performance on a selected date, along with other access performances such as additional relaxed or specially supported shows, giving audience members with sensory sensitivities or other access needs a more comfortable and flexible theatre experience.

Can I combine Matilda The Musical with a hotel or short break?
