Music and lyrics by Tim Minchin
Book by Dennis Kelly
Directed by Emily Hamel
Produced by Clint Hames and Laura Hames
The story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
Matilda the Musical, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly, 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. She learns to overcome the obstacles caused by her family and school, and helps her teacher to reclaim her life.
The Chilliwack Players Guild is holding open auditions for the show on November 2nd and 3rd, 2024.
