Upcoming Events
Matilda the Musical at WOH
The children are revolting; they can smell rebellion; they’re counting on a miracle; they’re ready to get naughty: Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical opens at the Waterville Opera House on Friday, April 25!
In this Tony- and Olivier-winning stage adaptation of Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s novel, downtrodden little girl Matilda uses her courage and cleverness – and newfound psychic powers – to rally her classmates against their tyrannical headmistress Miss Trunchbull. Matilda, with the aid of her teacher Miss Honey, must use her wit, gumption, and a fair amount of song and dance to overcome her cruel parents and Trunchbull’s fiendish punishments.
Matilda the Musical opens Friday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. Evening performances follow April 26 and May 2. at 7:30 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinées on April 27, May 3, and May 4. The Waterville Opera House is proud to offer an ASL interpreted performance on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m.
