‘Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty,’ so sings the cast of Matilda the Musical, giving very questionable advice right as we head into the Christmas season.
Despite encouraging some children to find themselves off the Nice List, Matilda the Musical transforms Roald Dahl’s beloved classic into an all-singing, all-dancing feel-good spectacle, awarded 4 stars by Metro.co.uk.
The music comes from Aussie comedian Tim Minchin, who brings Matilda Wormwood’s life from the West End to the big screen.
While it’s out in the cinemas from today (November 25), when is the film going to dance its way onto Netflix?
When is Matilda the Musical on Netflix?
Well, it’s not great news for fans in the UK. There’s currently no release date for the film’s Netflix debut over here.
The movie will drop on the platform in the US and globally from December 25, a nice Christmas present for fans overseas.
It’s not all bad news for Brits though, as it’s out in cinemas now.
