Matilda – The Musical premiered in musical form in 2010 with the Royal Shakespeare Company tryout in Stratford. After initial positive feedback, a West End production opened on November 24, 2011, and won seven Olivier Awards, a record number for a single show. The musical is scheduled to debut on Broadway March 4, 2013, with an official opening April 11. Written by Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, all who get the musical is based on the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl, who penned such literary classics as "James and the Giant Peach" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

Matilda Plot Summary
To change the world, it takes a little genius and maybe a little magic, too. At least according to Matilda Wormwood, a young book lover who is wise beyond her years and discovers she has secret telekinetic powers. A notorious prankster whose intellect is severely underappreciated, Matilda sometimes uses her powers to play tricks on evil Miss Trunchbull, the school headmistress who has a penchant for putting children in a torture chamber.
Set in England, the heart of Matilda – The Musical lies in a young girl’s struggle to find a happy existence while coping with parents who dismiss her as ugly and a cruel headmistress who believes children are maggots. Books, school, and her doting teacher, Miss Honey, provide Matilda with a much-needed reprieve from an otherwise challenging life.
Whether it’s television-obsessed Mrs. Wormwood, sneaky used car salesman Mr. Wormwood, vindictive Miss Trunchbull, or sweet Miss Honey, there’s always someone to root for in this family-friendly show. Everyone with Matilda – The Musical tickets will fall in love with young Matilda’s veracity, sass, and big heart.
