By: Chloe Rabinowitz Jan. 31, 2020
Casa Mañana continues its 2019-20 Children's Theatre season, presented by Happy State Bank and sponsored by Frank Kent Cadillac, with Roald Dahl's Matilda: The Musical, March 20-April 5, 2020. Tickets are on sale now.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however - the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts and could be the school pupils' saving grace! Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl and winner of 4 Tony® Awards, Matilda the Musical revels in the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination. This show is suitable for all audiences.
