Matilda, Jr.


  • Cain Center for the Arts 21348 Catawba Avenue Cornelius, NC, 28031 United States (map)

by Dennis Kelly
Music and lyrics by Tim Minchin

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda Jr., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. 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!

In the Cain lobby, we will be accepting donations to the Lawren Knowles Memorial Ronald McDonald House Supply Drive. Patrons will receive guidance on a “wish list” and most pressing needs.
