‘Sometimes You Have to Be a Little Bit Naughty if You Want to Change Your Story’
The Lyceum will be filled by the smell of rebellion when Lower School students present Roald Dahl’s Matilda Jr. from Tuesday February 28th to March 3rd. Based on the beloved book “Matilda” by Roald Dahl and adapted from the award-winning full-length musical, the production tells the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
“One of my favorite moments early on in the show is when Matilda sings, ‘Even if you are little you can do a lot’. It’s such a powerful reminder for each of us, tall and small, to take ownership in how we can create our reality,” says Ms Bishop, Director of Performance. “Through the process of putting on this musical, these students are doing just that: they are joining together and working hard to create this extraordinary show and we think they deserve a standing ovation for all their work.”
Tickets for the school production are now on sale and can be purchased in school or on the school’s Box Office page.
Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR. is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized materials are supplied by Music Theatre International 423 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019, 212-541-4684, mtishows.com.
