Based on the beloved novel by the brilliantly batty Roald Dahl, this larger-than-life Broadway musical follows Matilda, an extraordinary girl with a brilliant mind, vivid imagination, and a spark of magic all her own. Constantly belittled by her prickly parents and terrorized by her tyrannical headmistress, she refuses to let their small-mindedness hold her back.
With the help of her loyal friends and her kind-hearted teacher, Matilda dares to take a stand, using her wit, courage, and a touch of mischief to turn her world upside down. Bursting with unforgettable songs, dazzling dance numbers, and pure theatrical magic, Matilda the Musical is a joyous celebration of cleverness, courage, and the extraordinary power within us all.
Run Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
