Meet Elyza: Matilda The Musical's Newest Cast Member!

A revoltingly good addition to the company of Matilda The Musical at the Cambridge Theatre, London. Exclusive: The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced new casting for the Award-winning ‘Matilda The Musical’, including our very own Elyza who will be making her West End debut this Autumn as the role of Lavender!

After only signing with South Coast Kidz through the ‘SCK x adf’ collaboration in April 2024, it wasn’t long before Elyza was submitted via Spotlight and invited to audition for Matilda The Musical. She then went back & forth to London over the next couple of months for auditions, recalls, and then made it down to the final 8! A couple of days later, we received a very exciting phone call to confirm that Elyza had successfully landed her dream role of Lavender & that she would be joining the company this Autumn.

Elyza is really enjoying the rehearsal period so far, and she can’t wait to get on stage this September! Here are a couple of photos of Elyza’s journey of becoming a ‘Maggot’ so far 📚🦎🎭
