Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical

Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical

The story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

can we hear a sample of the Performance Tracks before purchase?

We are trying to decide what resources to use with our show and would like to hear a sample of the Performance Tracks. I have downloaded the Syphonia onto my laptop to listen to the sample there. Just trying to get a feel for the sound.

Any suggestions for the short term hospital (Gurney style) bed in the opening sequence of "Matilda the Musical?"

We are at our wits end. We have a more modern gurney reserved for the show from the local EMTs, but it is very modern looking and heavy. We have asked at our local theaters we normally borrow or rent props from - but to no avail. Any suggestions how to make one or borrow/rent?
