ABOUT THE SHOW

Story Synopsis (Matilda Jr.)

Matilda Jr. is the enchanting, high-energy musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s beloved story, licensed through Music Theatre International (MTI). It tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a brilliant young girl with an extraordinary imagination—and the courage to stand up against the unfair adults in her life. Despite the challenges posed by her neglectful parents and the terrifying headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, Matilda discovers her strength and the power of her mind. Along the way, she finds a loving mentor in Miss Honey, friendship in her classmates, and a spark of magic she never knew she had.

Filled with humor, heart, and memorable characters, Matilda Jr. celebrates bravery, kindness, and believing in yourself.

CHARACTER SNAPSHOTS (Matilda Jr. - MTI)

Matilda Wormwood
Gender: Female
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. Character portrayed age: 6 years old. The cast actress must present younger.

Eric
Gender: Male
A student at school with Matilda. He has the very first solo line of the entire show, so make sure to cast a good singer in this role. He also has some featured moments as one of Matilda’s schoolmates, so it’s helpful if Eric is also an expressive actor.

Amanda
Gender: Female
A student at school with Matilda. She has a few solos and lines, but her most featured moment is when Trunchbull throws her through the air using her pigtails.

Bruce
Gender: Male
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 and has some important solos.

Hortensia
Gender: Female
Alice, Hortensia, and Tommy are classmates of Matilda who each sing solos, and Hortensia has a few lines.

Alice
Gender: Female
Alice, Hortensia, and Tommy are classmates of Matilda who each sing solos.

Tommy
Gender: Male
Alice, Hortensia, and Tommy are classmates of Matilda who each sing solos.

Lavender
Gender: Female
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
Gender: Male
One of the kids at school with Matilda. He is enthusiastic, sweet, and always in a bit of a panic. Nigel has a few solos and some great featured moments in the show.

Mr. Wormwood
Gender: Male
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. It’s helpful if Mr. Wormwood seems older onstage and makes a dynamic pair with Mrs. Wormwood.

Mrs. Wormwood
Gender: Female
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
Gender: Male
Matilda’s brother. He is not very bright, though he is the apple of his father’s eye. This is a hilarious supporting role for a younger actor with comedic timing, as Michael’s contributions to the scene usually function as deadpan one-liners.

Mrs. Phelps
Gender: Female
The kindly librarian who loves hearing Matilda’s stories. This is a great featured role for a stronger actress who reads as older than Matilda onstage.

Escapologist
Gender: Male
A character of Matilda’s creation. Everything this character does is grand and exaggerated – he’s performing for the cheap seats! Dance experience is a plus – some solo singing.

Acrobat
Gender: Female
A product of Matilda’s imagination. Dance experience is a plus – some solo singing.

Miss Honey
Gender: Female
A teacher at Matilda’s school. She is kind, is generous, and really cares about the children despite her own desperate circumstances. Strong vocal and acting skills.

Agatha Trunchbull
Gender: Female
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. It’s helpful if Trunchbull is
physically larger than the actors playing children. Strong vocal and acting skills.

Rudolpho
Gender: Male
Mrs. Wormwood’s self-obsessed dance teacher. This is a hilarious featured role for a comedic performer who moves well.

Sergei
Gender: Male
A customer that was swindled by Mr. Wormwood. Though he shows up looking for payback, Matilda has had quite enough
of revenge, and Sergei lets the Wormwoods escape.

Featured Dance and Vocal Ensemble
This will be composed of the older students at Matilda’s school. This group is extremely important to the show and is featured in many vocal numbers.

Standard Ensemble
Ensemble roles include Russians, Little Kids, Kids, Mums, Dads, the Cook and the Mechanic.
