Description:

Auditions for "Matilda" the musical. Seeking cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the breakdown below. About the project: The Tony Award-winning 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 with astonishing wit, intelligence, and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other’s lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. 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. Additional info: Please note: there is a production fee. Show dates are September 6th-8th, with a special school showing on September 5th. For more important info please see the attachment. If you are interested, please apply.
