Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical

The story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony® Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece 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 little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. Neglected by her parents but encouraged by her kind teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda discovers the courage to stand up to the fearsome headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, and inspire those around her.

Featuring the popular musical theater songs, “Naughty,” “When I Grow Up,” and “Revolting Children.”

Presented in partnership with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.

Featuring Young Artists of PMT Conservatory in collaboration with the CAPA Orchestra.
