News & Features

About matilda on broadway, video & photos.

Based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book of the same name, Matilda follows Matilda Wormwood, a bright little girl who immerses herself in books. Matilda is discarded and belittled by her dimwitted parents—her father insists on calling her a boy and harps on her “stupidity” for preferring reading to watching the telly—and her hostile headmistress, the outrageous and wicked Miss Trunchbull. Reclusive, but with an ever-growing imagination and sharp mind, and with a caring protector in her teacher Miss Honey, Matilda dreams of a better life, daring to take a stand against unjust forces and to grasp her destiny in her own, tiny hands.

"Once in a blue moon, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in Broadway. 'Matilda The Musical' is that show. " The New York Post Elisabeth Vincentelli

"Broadway can add yet another blockbuster to its roster of kid-friendly shows. 'Matilda,' based on Roald Dahl’s 1988 children’s novel, is wickeder than 'Wicked,' as beastly as the beasts in 'The Lion King' and as crowd-pleasing as anything on the Great White Way. " NY1 Roma Torre

"Rejoice, my theatergoing comrades. The children’s revolution has arrived on these shores, and it is even more glorious than we were promised. " New York Times Ben Brantley

Did you know

• Trivia Mara Wilson , who played the title character in Matilda (1996) , turned down a cameo role, saying she didn't want to fly to England just for one day of filming. Similarly, Pam Ferris (Miss Trunchbull in the original) was also offered a cameo but supposedly turned it down as it clashed with rehearsals for a stage play.
• Goofs Early in the movie, Miss Trunchbull is referenced as having competed at the Olympics after having also been the 1959 English champion in Women's hammer throw. This was not an Olympic event until 2000, making it unlikely Agatha Trunchbull competed at that level. Given the character, however, it might be presumed that it was all fabricated.

Mrs. Phelps : Is it a bully? Because you know, the best way to deal with bullies, is tell someone. Straight away. They thrive on... silence.

• Crazy credits The Roald Dahl Story Company logo appears in the form of a golden ticket inside a Wonka candy bar (from Dahl's novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory").

“I love the dark humor in this show, the score is amazing, and the characters are complex,” Downey said.

The musical will be performed at Royal River Community Players in Yarmouth from May 17 to 26.

Based on the popular novel by Roald Dahl, “Matilda the Musical” tells the story of a young girl who, after being mistreated by her parents and older brother, turns to the magic of books as a means of escape. The show has been praised for its rich storytelling, enchanting characters and empowering message that anyone can overcome adversity with courage and determination.

“The bonus for me is that half the cast is around age 10, and I love teaching, directing and working with kids as well as adults,” Downey said.

Selected from over 60 auditioners, the cast includes a dynamic mix of seasoned and emerging local talents, RRCP Executive Director Chris Sullivan said. Advertisement

The staging of the show is unique to other adaptations audiences may have seen elsewhere because of the Yarmouth theater’s small stage. It will allow for the audience to feel fully engulfed in the story, he said.

“Everyone’s favorite parts are still there, but Downey makes it original by creating an immersive experience,” he said.

Downey said she is eager to present a show that resonates with, and inspires, the audience by involving them right from the start.

“I hope audience members walk out the door of this show remembering that no matter what your age, if you stick up for what you know is right, you can win,” Downey said. “Even if that means you have to be a little bit naughty.”

Performances run for two weeks, with Friday and Saturday shows at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale for $22 at royalrivercommunityplayers.com .

New musical based on Horizon scandal is ‘deep dive into the crushing heartbreak’

Writer of Make Good: the Post Office Scandal says postal workers’ interviews helped describe ‘the power of the state coming down on you’

The creators of a new musical about the Post Office Horizon scandal are appealing to postal workers to form part of the choir for the production, which they say can help heal communities affected by the issue.

Make Good: the Post Office Scandal is based on interviews with two post office operators from Shropshire whose lives were ruined when Fujitsu’s flawed computer software Horizon made it appear there were shortfalls in their accounting.

Jeanie O’Hare , who wrote the script, said: “They have been our guide to make sure we are doing the story right – not only technical stuff but the deep dive into the crushing heartbreak, the shame and what it feels like to be an ordinary person and the power of the state is coming down on you.”

Co-produced by Pentabus and New Perspectives, the show will tour village halls around Shropshire initially, to audiences of 100-120 people.

O’Hare – who commissioned the hit Matilda, the musical before becoming chair of playwriting at Yale School of Drama – said the story offers a chance for the community to have a “conversation with itself”.

She said: “The subpostmasters actively created community – that is their superpower and song the best analogy for that. They create warmth, community and support and that’s what we all need. We are going back into the communities where the damage was done.”

Olivier-award nominee Jim Fortune, who wrote the music and lyrics, said they would love the show’s choir to be made up of those affected by the scandal, which impacted at least 900 post office operators and is the subject of a government inquiry .

“Our dream is to build a choir for this show from within the communities, especially postal workers,” he said. “If they want to join our choir, they’d be very welcome.”

Fortune said that the idea of people being in confrontation with technology is a theme throughout the musical, with the production’s band being made up of analogue equipment, including a typewriter, a dial-up modem, and “stuff before the cloud and clever computer programmers made everything ‘better’”.

O’Hare said: “This was during the era when that terrible catchphrase ‘computer says no’ was in the ether. People were coming up against these magical machines and they weren’t able to argue their position as a human being.

“The focus on the show was always what was happening to the subpostmasters and their families but Horizon is very present as a force operating on their lives that doesn’t have to answer for itself.”

Fortune said, despite being a musical, it will still be hard hitting and that song is often the most powerful way to unpack traumatic events.

He said: “I think song is protest and it is the only and best way that I would know how to deal with emotions and politics at this level – just because we’re doing it in a theatre, doesn’t mean we’re doing Grease.”

O’Hare believes that the story, which captured audiences in the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office , has resonated so much because many people recognise the plight of postal workers.

“The subpostmasters are the canaries in the coalmine,” she said. “They were right there as we moved into the digital era from the analogue era. All the mistakes that developed as digital technology unfolded have played out and affected their lives.”

Fortune added: “It means so much to us culturally that there’s a huge sense of betrayal.”

The Make Good creative team didn’t want to say whether former Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells, or former business improvement director Angela van den Bogerd , will feature in the musical but said discussions were ongoing.

O’Hare said: “There are people who are caricatures already but we are in the middle of the conversation on how named those people will be.”

Make Good will tour from October to December for six weeks, starting at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on 18-19 October. Further venues, including a London run, will be announced.
