Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of
childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who
dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences
rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the
grown-ups a lesson.
Matilda has astonishing wit,
intelligence… and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but
impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. 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!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers
and catchy songs, Matilda JR. 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.
