Roald Dahl’s MATILDA the Musical

October 9-25, 2026

Book by Dennis Kelly
Music & Lyrics by Tim Minchin
Based on the book, Matilda by Roald Dahl
Family Audience

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.

Matilda 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!

This production is not available for School Field Trips.

Tigger: A New Musical

May 7-23, 2027

Based on the book, “The House at Pooh corner” by A.A. Milne
Book & Lyrics by Janet Stanford
Music & Additional Lyrics by Deborah Wicks La Puma

The Hundred Acre Wood enjoys a time of general calm. Everyone knows their place and function in the group and is satisfied with how things are. Christopher Robin is absent in mornings because he’s off being taught his Three R’s although none of his friends can really grasp what this entails. Kanga and Roo, once newcomers themselves, are now established members of the community. Rabbit continues to be bossy organizing search parties and people while Pooh and Piglet are their usual selves, being pulled into other adventures or playing Poohsticks in which they race to see whose stick goes first in the water under the bridge. Eeyore continues sad and under-appreciated. Everyone is content in their roles, that is until the unexpected arrival of a Tigger! TIGGER the Musical is a delightful musical tale about learning how to accept and appreciate newcomers to our community.

This production is available for School Field Trips!
