The San Gabriel Valley Music Theatre’s 2024 Summer Stock for Students program is proud to present Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical JR. Book by Dennis Kelly, Music & 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!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is 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.
Featuring a cast of over 30 talented, young performers, this production is directed by SGVMT's Artistic Director Bobby Hundley, Music Direction by Julie Welch, Choreography by Anita Fischer, Costume Design by Ray Rochelle, Lighting and Sound Design by Jay Lee, Asst Director/SM Gabriela Sanchez.
