THREE new actresses have been cast in the role of Matilda in the West End production of Matilda The Musical.

Lily-Mae Evans, Kitty Peterkin and Savannah Read join Emma Moore in the role of Matilda. They start this week. Break a leg, girls!

And in other Matilda news…

To celebrate Roald Dahl Day (13 September) this week, Six LEGO Roald Dahl Heroes have been revealed. 

Some of Roald’s fave characters will be displayed at various locations around the UK – James at Cardiff Castle, Sophie at Giant’s Causeway (NI), Charlie at Manchester Central Library, George at Nottingham Railway Station, Matilda at Cambridge Theatre, London and Billy at Eden Project, Cornwall. 

All stand at one metre high (perfs for selfies!) and are built with a total of 102,937 LEGO bricks.

Check out Matilda below! If you see one, take a photo and share it on social media (if you’re over 13 years old) using the hashtags #RoaldDahlHeroes and #RoaldDahlDay.

Let the fun continue in our LOL section…
