Once you indulge in the adapted musical over a few glasses of Eggnog this Christmas, you’ll likely want to revisit the songs again for New Year. We reveal every track within the Matilda the Musical soundtrack and confirm where you can watch the adaptation over the holiday season, including Netflix, and where you can listen to the soundtrack.
Veteran actor and British treasure Emma Thompson is on board the adaptation to play the horrid headmistress Miss Trunchbull, alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi star Lashana Lynch as the loveable teacher Miss Honey.
Directed by Matthew Warchus with a screenplay by Dennis Kelly, Matilda the Musical is based on the 2011 stage musical of the same name by Warchus, Kelly, and Tim Minchin, which, in turn, is based on the 1988 novel by Dahl.
