Description:

Sometimes, the only way to change your story is to write it yourself. Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit and intelligence. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the loving Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other's lives. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and 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 fantastic genius of Roald Dahl, and combined with the witty music and lyrics of Tim Minchin, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is a captivating Broadway masterpiece and finally returns to the CWorks stage! Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of this special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

Matilda Auditionees,

Thank you to everyone who auditioned for Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical over this past weekend. We are so proud of the hard work, courage, and determination you all showed us through your auditions, and we appreciate the work and time you put into your songs, dances, and callbacks. 

To those who were cast, congratulations! We can’t wait to start rehearsals with you. Your production fees are now active in your family account. Please pay these before the first rehearsal this Friday. More show and rehearsal info will be sent out this week, so keep an eye on your email.

Due to the large number of students who auditioned for Matilda, we were not able to cast everyone who auditioned. If you do not see your name on the cast list and were not cast in the show, we will be emailing you with helpful audition feedback in the coming weeks, which we encourage you to apply toward future auditions. Please wait two weeks to contact the artistic team with any audition-related questions so that we can focus on the front-end preparation needed to begin rehearsals.
