Matilda (Maddie Wheeler) is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers, said a school press release. She's unloved by her cruel parents (Connor Gray and Louisa Moosebrugger), but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey (Abby Hughes).

Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other's lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality.

Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull (Ryan Hayes), hates children and just 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!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
