Inspired by the brilliantly dark imagination of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award–winning musical Matilda celebrates the wild spirit of childhood, the limitless power of imagination, and the uplifting journey of a young girl determined to change her destiny. The show has earned 47 international awards and continues to captivate audiences of all ages around the globe.

At the heart of the story is Matilda, a remarkable girl blessed with extraordinary intelligence, sharp wit, and even mysterious psychokinetic abilities. Neglected by her cruel parents, she finds comfort and encouragement in her kind-hearted teacher, Miss Honey. As their friendship grows, Miss Honey begins to see and nurture Matilda’s exceptional gifts.

But school is far from easy. The fearsome headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, despises children and rules with intimidation and harsh punishments. Armed with courage, cleverness, and a fierce sense of justice, Matilda may be the very hero her classmates need.

Note: The Children's Cast will alternate between performances.
