Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR.—a gleefully witty celebration of childhood anarchy and the boundless power of imagination! This enchanting story follows a brilliant young girl who dares to dream of a better life and inspires her classmates to stand up for themselves, leaving audiences cheering for the "revolting children" who turn the tables on the grown-ups.
Matilda may be small, but she’s mighty, armed with sharp wit, fierce intelligence, and even a few extraordinary powers. Neglected by her ridiculous parents yet encouraged by her kind and courageous teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda faces off against the terrifying Miss Trunchbull, a headmistress who delights in cruelty. With courage and cleverness, Matilda just might become the hero her classmates have been waiting for.
Packed with show-stopping dance numbers, unforgettable characters, and songs you’ll be humming long after the curtain falls, Matilda JR. is a joyous theatrical adventure for audiences of all ages!

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
Matilda Wormwood
The hero of the show. She’s brilliant, resilient, creative, and kind, despite growing up in difficult circumstances. Her parents treat her poorly, but Matilda escapes into a world of books, which puts her reading level far above the other children in her class, and she develops a bit of magical power in an effort to defeat Trunchbull.
Eric
A student at school with Matilda.
Amanda
A student at school with Matilda. Her most featured moment is when Trunchbull throws her through the air using her pigtails.
Bruce
One of Matilda’s schoolmates. He has the bad luck to get caught after eating Trunchbull’s cake. Bruce goes through quite a transformation throughout the show.
Hortensia, Alice, Tommy
Alice, Hortensia, and Tommy are classmates of Matilda
Lavender
One of the kids at school with Matilda. She is kind and bright (though not as brilliant as Matilda) and quickly decides that Matilda is her best friend.
Nigel
One of the kids at school with Matilda. He is enthusiastic, sweet, and always in a bit of a panic.
Mr. Wormwood
Matilda’s father. He is egotistical, rude, and not very bright, not to mention a liar. Though Mr. Wormwood is not a good person and he is mean to Matilda, his harebrained schemes can be hilariously funny,
Mrs. Wormwood
Matilda’s mother. Like her husband, she dislikes Matilda and does not understand why her daughter loves to read. Mrs. Wormwood is selfish, obsessed with her own appearance, and believes everything she sees on TV. Her dancing lessons with Rudolpho are the most important part of her day.
Michael
Matilda’s brother. He is not very bright, though he is the apple of his father’s eye.
Mrs. Phelps
The kindly librarian who loves hearing Matilda’s stories.
Escapologist
A character of Matilda’s creation. Everything this character does is grand and exaggerated – he’s performing for the cheap seats!
Acrobat
A product of Matilda’s imagination.
Miss Honey
A teacher at Matilda’s school. She is kind, is generous, and really cares about the children despite her own desperate circumstances.
Agatha Trunchbull
The quintessential terrifying tyrant. As headmistress, she runs her school like a dictator, making up arbitrary rules to suit her every whim and dreaming up creative punishments. The Trunchbull can be played by a male or female (though the character is female). She is the villain.
Rudolpho
Mrs. Wormwood’s self-obsessed dance teacher. This is a hilarious featured role for a comedic performer who moves well.
Sergei
A customer swindled by Mr. Wormwood. Though he shows up looking for payback, Matilda has had quite enough of revenge, and Sergei lets the Wormwoods escape.
Ensemble
MANY Ensemble roles include Little Kids, Big Kids Mums, Dads, the Cook, and the Mechanic.
