Rebellious, clever, and a little bit magical, Matilda Wormwood is not your average girl. With a love of books, a sharp mind, and courage far beyond her years, she dares to stand up to the dreadful Miss Trunchbull, the terrifying headmistress who rules with fear. Along the way, Matilda discovers the power of friendship, imagination, and her own extraordinary gifts.
Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs, and plenty of heart, Roald Dahl’s Matilda JR. is a joyous, family-friendly musical that celebrates the power of stories and the courage to change your destiny. This is a must-see production that will delight audiences young and old — expect laughter, inspiration, and a little bit of magic!
