Book by Dennis Kelly, Music & Lyrics by Tim Minchin, Orchestrations & Additional Music by Chris Nightinga
Based on the 1988 children’s novel of the same name by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Matilda’s precocious nature, brilliant mind, and gift of telekinesis, help her to overcome life’s obstacles. Only her gentle schoolteacher, Miss Honey, sees Matilda for the extraordinary little girl she is. Together they design a world where kindness, love, and the beauty of childhood are celebrated, winning out over the cruel verbal and emotional abuse from some of the adults toward a few of the children. High energy music, dance, and Roald Dahl’s magic touch humorously illuminate the darkness in humanity and create a uniquely delightful experience.
ROALD DAHL’S MATILDA THE MUSICAL is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
