About the Show
Directed by Karen O'Baker Porter
Music Directed by Chris Bott
Book by Dennis Kelly
Music & Lyrics by Tim Minchin

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and
psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her
schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first
term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each
other's lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also
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 thinking up new punishments for
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!
