Matilda is a musical about an extraordinary girl -- a genius born into a less brilliant family who dares to take a stand and change her destiny.The Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. Matilda is a little girl who is unloved by her cruel parents but has astonishing wit, intelligence and special powers. She impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey who not only to recognizes but also appreciates Matilda's extraordinary personality. Unfortunately, however, at school Matilda has to contend with Miss Trunchbull, the schools mean headmistress who rules the school with cruelty and fear. Faced with injustice both at school and at home, Matilda decides she needs to fight back and teach the grown-ups a lesson. The musical is packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs. Children and adults alike will enjoy this story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.Barnstable Comedy Club is hosting the event and will handle concessions.
