Berkeley Playhouse To Present Roald Dahl's MATILDA THE MUSICAL

Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical is directed and choreographed by Dane Paul Andres and Cat Reyes, vocal directed by Camden Daly, and conducted by Jessica Igarashi.

This Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical based on the beloved children's book is a captivating tale that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination, and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. Matilda is a young girl in England with incredible wit, intelligence, and psychokinetic powers, but is constantly underestimated by her family and bullied by mean headmistress Miss Trunchbull. Matilda finds hope in her schoolteacher Miss Honey, who appreciates the child's extraordinary personality. Will Matilda find the courage to stand up to her foes, changing her life and her fellow pupils' for the better?
