Peoples Theatre is delighted to announce that, for the very first time, they will be producing Matilda the Musical Jr. The multi-award-winning musical marvel based on the beloved Roald Dahl book.
Matilda is the tale of a brilliant little girl with telekinetic powers. She has an unhappy life with her parents and the show follows her in her attempts to turn her life around.
Matilda’s parents believe she is a nuisance while she thinks they are only interested in watching the television. Life at school isn’t much better thanks to the monstrous headmistress Miss Trunchbull.
The headmistress terrifies both students and teachers alike until one day Matilda discovers she has a very special power. She decides it’s time to teach the grown-ups a lesson. The musical explores the bond between Matilda and Miss Honey, and Matilda’s desire for freedom.
This is an enchanting tale that delves deeper into Roald Dahl’s themes of self-empowerment and finding one’s true self. Adults will also enjoy and appreciate the show’s clever humour and word-play just as much as the children, with catchy original songs, it’s pure magic from scene to scene !!!

*** All children over the age of 1 year will need their own ticket for the show***
