2024 High School Project
ROALD DAHL'S MATILDA THE MUSICAL
Book by Dennis Kelly | Music & Lyrics by Tim Minchin
Orchestrations and Additional Music by Chris Nightingale
Directed by Megan Watson

On the heels of last year’s sold-out run, the Grand Theatre’s renowned youth mentorship program, the High School Project (HSP) will be presenting the Tony and Olivier award-winning Matilda The Musical, with book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin.

Once upon a time, Matilda Wormwood, an under-appreciated child with an extraordinary mind, sets about to change her own story, and bring hope to the lives of those around her.

But when her scheming, neglectful father enrolls her in Crunchem Hall Elementary School, under the authoritarian leadership of Ms. Trunchbull, Matilda's magical mind is called toward a different, revolting, adventure.

Matilda, based on the beloved children’s book by Roald Dahl, has been staged from the West End to Broadway, toured around the world and now lands at the Grand Theatre. Matilda and her classmates remind us that all stories can be rewritten; you just have to be a little bit naughty!
