North Shore Music Theatre

This summer, the North Shore Music Theatre (NSMT) is thrilled to present two spectacular productions as part of its 2023 Kids Shows lineup, offering affordable access to quality children's programming for all ages. 

First on the schedule is "Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical, JR.," brought to life by the talented students of NSMT’s Summer Education Program. Scheduled for July 28, 2023, with performances at 10am and 1pm, this enchanting musical tells the story of Matilda, a brilliant and resilient girl with astonishing wit, intelligence, and special powers. Despite being unloved by her cruel parents, Matilda finds solace in her schoolteacher, Miss Honey. However, the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, is a formidable obstacle with her disdain for children and penchant for harsh punishments. Matilda's courage and cleverness may just be what her fellow students need to overcome Miss Trunchbull's tyranny. Tickets are available for all seats at $15, ensuring that this magical story can be enjoyed by families at an affordable price.

Following Matilda, the NSMT’s Summer Education Program Students will present "THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL: Youth Edition" on August 25, 2023, with shows at 10am and 1pm. Dive into the undersea world of Bikini Bottom in this dynamic one-hour stage musical, where SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends face the total annihilation of their world. Amidst chaos and danger, an unexpected hero steps forward to save the day, proving that the power of optimism can indeed save the world. This one-of-a-kind musical adventure features an incredible score by renowned artists including Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic At the Disco, David Bowie, and more. With all seats priced at $15, families are invited to join SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and the rest of the Bikini Bottom gang for a musical experience like no other.

Both productions are presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI), ensuring audiences will enjoy high-quality performances.
