Roald Dahl's “Matilda The Musical,” a Tony Award-winning masterpiece, celebrates childhood anarchy, the power of imagination and follows the inspiring story of Matilda—a girl with wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. Unloved by her cruel parents, Matilda impresses her teacher, Miss Honey, and faces challenges at school with the menacing headmistress, Miss Trunchbull.
Packed with energy, and catchy songs, Matilda is a joyous romp that thrills audiences of all ages with the story of a special girl and her extraordinary imagination.
