Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical

Matilda is a girl with astonishing wit, intelligence, and psychokinetic powers. She is unloved by her cruel parents, and her school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and loves to punish those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and she could be her classmates’ saving grace! Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special girl with an extraordinary imagination.
