Matilda The Musical

Matilda the Musical  is based on the 1988 novel Matilda by Roald Dahl. The musical’s narrative centres on Matilda Wormwood, a young girl who is incredibly and magnificently intelligent but constantly belittled and mistreated by her parents and the terrifying headmistress at her school.
