Get ready for a delightfully rebellious adventure with Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR.! Featuring clever kids, unforgettable characters, and a heartwarming message about courage, friendship, and standing up for what’s right, this lively musical celebrates the extraordinary power of imagination and believing in yourself.
Matilda, a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers, lives with cruel parents who find her to be a nuisance, a lousy little worm, and a bore. When Matilda enters her first term at school, she captures the attention of Miss Honey, a kind teacher, and the two form a wonderful friendship. Unfortunately, the school is ruled by a tempestuous and mean headmistress named Miss Trunchbull, who hates children and delivers cruel and unjust punishments to all her charges. Matilda is determined to change her story, but will her cleverness and courage be enough to withstand the reign of Miss Trunchbull.
Matilda JR is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
