SUMMARY:Roald Dahl’s MATILDA the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl\, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare anarchy of childhood\, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. \nMatilda is a little girl with astonishing wit\, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher\, Miss Honey. During her first term at school\, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing\, however – the school’s mean headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, hates children and just loves to punish those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts and could be the school pupils’ saving grace! \n\n\n\n\nThis production is not available for School Field Trips.
