Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Using her astonishing wit, intelligence, and abilities, Matilda dreams of a better life and isn’t afraid to turn things upside-down to get it with the help of her friends. Captivating the hearts of young and old alike, this musical revels in the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination. Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs, and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress, Matilda is a joyous girl-power romp you won’t want to miss.

San Diego Musical Theatre

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee takes us on a journey with an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents as they participate in the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
