Award-winning West End show Matilda The Musical, which was set to play at Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur from June 2-14, has been postponed to March 9-21, 2021 due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The Royal Shakespeare Company musical, inspired by the 1988 children's book by British author Roald Dahl, was one of the highlights of Istana Budaya's 2020 season. The show, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and based on Dahl’s famous book, adapted by Dennis Kelly, won multiple awards when it opened in London in 2010, including seven Olivier Awards (in 2012).
