About the Show
Rebellion is nigh! Matilda JR. is a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination. This story of a girl who dreams of a better life—and the children she inspires—will have audiences cheering for the “revolting children” determined to teach the grown-ups a lesson.
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and extraordinary powers! Though unloved by her cruel parents, she quickly impresses her schoolteacher, the kind and caring Miss Honey. But school isn’t all smooth sailing—Miss Trunchbull, the tyrannical headmistress, despises children and delights in inventing harsh new punishments for anyone who breaks her rules. With courage and cleverness in equal measure, Matilda just might be the saving grace her classmates need.
Packed with high-energy dance numbers and unforgettable songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl-power romp. Children and adults alike will be inspired and delighted by the story of a remarkable little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
