SYNOPSIS:
Matilda the Musical is about a gifted, book-loving girl who, despite neglect from her selfish parents and cruelty from her school's tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, discovers her own powerful telekinetic abilities and uses her sharp mind and courage to stand up to injustice, help her beloved teacher Miss Honey, and change her own destiny for a better life. It's a story celebrating imagination, intelligence, and the power of the small but mighty to overthrow oppression.
