The Broadway production of Matilda The Musical will hit the road in the United States next year.
The show, with music and lyrics by Australian comedian-composer Tim Minchin, will begin a national tour in May 2015 at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.
It will later move on to San Francisco, Seattle and Dallas.
The Broadway musical is based on Roald Dahl's book about the precocious Matilda Wormwood, an English girl who loves to read despite the disdain of her sleazy parents. She is befriended by a kindly teacher, but opposed by her fearsome headmistress.
Matilda The Musical is written by playwright Dennis Kelly, and directed by Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus.
The show, which was a hit first in London, won four Tony Awards in 2013.
