Calling all young performers! Step into the extraordinary world of Matilda Jr. the Musical, a heartwarming and high-energy production based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book. Despite being misunderstood by her neglectful parents and facing the cruelty of her school’s headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, Matilda discovers she has a special gift that helps her stand up for herself and her friends. With the support of her kind teacher, Miss Honey, she learns to embrace her strength and intelligence, proving that even the smallest voices can create big change.
