Matilda the musical.

Matilda musical gets 10 theatre award nominations.
Matilda the Musical has swept the nominations board at country's biggest theatre awards.

The amazing show was named in every possible category at the Laurence Olivier Awards - giving it 10 nominations in all. The musical comes from the book written by Roald Dahl, where there is a little girl, who happens to be a genius but she has the worst parents ever.

Earlier this month the production won four awards, including best new musical. The award-winning-shows auditions for the New York production are scheduled to start next month.

        Matilda is currently played by four different actresses, who take turns in the role.
