Director's Note

Matilda, Jr is a slightly pared down version of the original Broadway full production.  While some of the numbers are shorter or cut for time, the essence of Matilda’s journey is captured in full.  Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, we hope to take you to the colorful world of a child who deals with conflicts in her life better than most.  Leading to her triumphant conclusion.

This sweet, exceptional young girl finds the courage to stand up to her obnoxious parents who find her just a nuisance.  Her next challenge is to face the child-hating headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who makes her school experience unfathomable. When she finally stands up to her and reveals her secrets, she will earn the respect of every other kid in school….and finally be accepted.

I hope children are inspired by Matilda, Jr and the conviction it takes to be yourself and find the right path to follow.

Enjoy the show!

Liz Boyer Hunnicutt
Director
