The annual Helpmann Awards recognise distinguished artistic achievement in the Australian live performance sector.

The Australian production of Matilda The Musical opened in Sydney in August 2015 to glowing reviews and has captivated audiences ever since. Currently playing in Melbourne, it moves to Brisbane in November and will play in Perth and Adelaide in 2017.

We’re sending our warmest congratulations to all the cast, creative and crew of the Australian production for their prestigious wins in Tim Minchin’s home country. See a message of congratulations from our Matilda The Musical London cast, who celebrate with team Australia in spirit! #MatildainOz
