SUMMARY:Matilda at Clear Space (Spotlight on Young Performers)
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl\, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood\, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin\, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world. \nMatilda is a little girl with astonishing wit\, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher\, the highly loveable Miss Honey. 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\, 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! \nPacked with high-energy dance numbers\, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress\, Matildais a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination. \n\nAll copy and pics from the website: https://www.clearspacetheatre.org/shows/matilda-spotlight-on-young-performers/
