Inspired by Roald Dahl’s genius, Matilda The Musical is a Tony Award-winning masterpiece celebrating childhood rebellion, imagination, and a girl’s fight for a better life. Matilda, an extraordinary young girl with intelligence, wit, and psychokinetic powers, is unloved by her cruel parents but admired by her kind teacher, Miss Honey.
