The award-winning Matilda the Musical will be staged by Masquerade Malta at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in April, and tickets are now available. It is already set to be one of the most sought events of the cultural season.

In fact, following a successful Early Bird offer for bookings made in December, Masquerade Malta is now offering a 10 per cent discount on seats in the stalls and dress circle booked until the end of January - giving fans of this iconic Roald Dahl experience the chance to make their ticket money go further.

"We want as many people to see it as possible, as we have no doubt they will fall in love with it," says director and producer Anthony Bezzina, adding that the show remains one of the West End's most popular productions for both critics and audiences alike.  "Both fans of Dahl's seminal story and those who are unfamiliar with it will have much to savour in this funny and touching adaptation. As rehearsals get under way, we are very excited at the opportunity to present it to audiences and encourage you to book your seats now!"

Matilda the Musical will be performed on Friday 17 April at 7.30pm, Saturday 18 April at 7.30pm, Sunday 19 April at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, Saturday 25 April at 2.30pm and 7.30pm and Sunday 26 April at 2.30pm. Booking is open now on www.mcc.com.mt. Ticket prices start from €25, and tickets in the stalls and dress circle will be available at a 10 per cent discount throughout January.
