Interview with Matilda The Musical’s Rakesh Boury
Mr. Wormwood may be itching to escape to Spain, but Rakesh Boury who plays Matilda’s hilarious but dishonest Dad in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s multi-award-winning Matilda The Musical, enjoys staying closer to home. ‘I just like to wander [around London] and take it all in, from the amazing culture, incredible food and the architecture. I particularly like walking across some of the bridges across the Thames.’ If you spot Boury on the capitals famous footbridges you may see him enjoying a well-deserved ice cream (8 shows a week will build up an appetite, and playing the hot-headed car salesman is sure to make you crave something cold and sweet to cool you off!) ‘I LOVE food… if you wander around Seven Dials enough, you inevitably end up in one of the amazing Ice Cream shops’.
However, it's not all ice creams and cones. We caught up with the talented actor to discuss all things BBQs, teeth, and of course, Matilda The Musical!

London Theatre Review: Matilda a "great night out" and "must-see"
Wow, what a night! So I’ve been busting to see Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre ever since it was announced almost a decade ago and just couldn’t find a child to go with. Don’t wait as long as I did — this is such a great story that's delivered so well and translates beautifully to adult audiences.
