Auditions – London
SHAREWe are always looking for children for the West End production of Matilda The Musical at the Cambridge Theatre, London, and we have a rolling programme of auditions.
WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE NEXT AUDITIONS FOR MATILDA AND HER CLASSMATES?
Auditions will be held in London during April and May 2025.
IMPORTANT DATES
Rehearsals – June to August 2025
Performances – September 2025 to March 2026
All children must be available for the entire rehearsal and performance period. No holidays will be allowed during this period and parents must be able to bring their child to all rehearsals and performances.
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO AUDITION?
We will audition children for the role of Matilda who are aged 8 to 12 and under 4’3” tall. Her classmates need to be aged 8 to 13 and under 4’10” tall with brilliant dancing and singing skills! Boys must have unbroken voices.
WHAT WILL I HAVE TO DO IN THE AUDITION?
You will be asked to perform a short poem, speech or monologue. We will also ask you to sing something and you will be taught a dance from the show.
WHAT IF I LIVE OUTSIDE LONDON?
We need to cast children for all the roles within travelling distance of the theatre so they can live at home and attend their own schools. You need to live within one hour of Central London.
WHAT TO DO NEXT?
If you’d like to audition, you will need to complete an online form. Before starting the form, we’d like you to make two or three 30 second films on your phone. These are sometimes called a self-tape. The quality doesn’t matter, and please, no longer than 30 seconds.
1 A 30 second speech, poem or monologue
2 A 30 second song (unaccompanied)
3 A 30 second dance (optional)
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
