ABOUT ROALD DAHL’S MATILDA THE MUSICAL:
Based on the famous Roald Dahl book of the same name, Matilda the Musical tells the story of a little girl named Matilda, who loves reading and has a brilliant mind. Although Matilda’s family doesn’t appreciate her gifts, her enrollment at Crunchem Hall Primary School introduces her to the exceptionally kind Miss Honey, who immediately recognizes her potential. However, the school is run by a wicked headmistress, a former Olympian hammer-thrower named Agatha Trunchbull. Through her experiences with the Trunchbull, Miss Honey, and the other kids at Crunchem Hall, Matilda will learn to accept her unique gifts, and that “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.”
