National Youth Theater (NYT) is thrilled to announce its upcoming spring production of Roald Dahl’s Matilda, The Musical.
Matilda, The Musical celebrates childhood chaos and the power of imagination. The story focuses on Matilda, a bright girl with extraordinary intelligence and psychokinetic powers. Despite neglect from her unkind parents, she finds warmth and support from her compassionate teacher, Miss Honey. Matilda faces challenges at school, especially from the cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who relishes punishing students. However, Matilda’s bravery and cleverness make her a hero to her classmates. With Miss Honey’s support, Matilda’s unique abilities may help them overcome difficult situations and create a brighter future.
This talented cast, comprised of ages 8-19, will present the show on March 28-30 at the Lone Star College Tomball Performing Arts Center, located at 30555 Tomball Parkway in Tomball.
