Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's
unloved by her cruel parents but impressed by her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first
term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate
Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing,
however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to
punish 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!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a
young actress, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled
and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
