What Time Will ‘Matilda the Musical’ Be on Netflix?

Matilda the Musical was a hit on both West End and Broadway, and now a movie version is finally coming to Netflix, just in time to inject a burst of joy into your Christmas Day.

Directed by Matthew Warchus, with a screenplay written by Dennis Kelly, Matilda the Musical is an adaptation of the 2011 stage musical of the same name by Warchus, Kelly, and Tim Minchin. And of course, it’s all an adaptation of the book many of us remember from our childhoods. The genius little girl named Matilda has been enchanting generations since 1988, when Roald Dahl first wrote about a girl who was so freakin’ smart, she could move things with her brain.

Starring Alisha Weir as Matilda, and Emma Thompson as Matilda’s famously mean principal, the Trunchbull, Matilda the Musical is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. Sure, you can’t live up to the ’90s Danny DeVito movie, but just wait until you hear this music.
