Based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda Jr. is a bold, mischievous, one-hour musical where brains beat brawn and kids call the shots.

With the help of the kind Miss Honey, these “revolting children” prove that even the smallest voice can spark a revolution. Bursting with high-energy numbers and cheeky humor, it’s a joyful celebration of courage, curiosity, and a little well-earned chaos. | Buy Tickets | |
