Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical

SEASON 17

Inspired by the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical tells the story of an extraordinary young girl with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind. Armed with courage, intelligence, and a little bit of magic, Matilda dares to change her own story—and inspires everyone around her to do the same. Featuring a thrilling score by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly, this Tony Award-winning musical is a joyous celebration of resilience, rebellion, and the power of storytelling.
