About the Musical

Matilda The Musical Jr. is a specially adapted version of the much-loved stage show, based on Matilda by Roald Dahl. It tells the story of an imaginative and determined young girl who, despite a difficult home life and a formidable headmistress, discovers her own strength and voice. With themes of resilience, creativity, and friendship, it’s perfectly suited to young performers and audiences alike.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International.
