SHOW DESCRIPTION

Raold Dahl's MATILDA THE MUSICAL JR.
A DST Youth Production (Ages 8-18)
Co-directed by Noah Sucato and Alexis Archer
Choreographed by Alexis Archer
Stage-managed by Rylie Clore
September 23 - October 9, 2022

The children are rising up! Join the revolt!
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. 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!

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN - Actors of all races, ethnicities, sizes, abilities, and genders (conforming and non-conforming) are highly encouraged to audition. What role(s) are you interested in? *

Any role

MATILDA - 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.

ERIC - A student at school with Matilda.

AMANDA - A student at school with Matilda.

BRUCE - 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.

HORTENSIA - One of Matilda’s schoolmates.

ALICE - One of Matilda’s schoolmates.

TOMMY - One of Matilda’s schoolmates.

LAVENDER - 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 - One of the kids at school with Matilda. He is enthusiastic, sweet, and always in a bit of a panic.

MR. WORMWOOD - 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.

MRS. WORMWOOD - 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 - Matilda’s brother. He is not very bright, though he is the apple of his father’s eye.

MRS. PHELPS - The kindly librarian who loves hearing Matilda’s stories.

ESCAPOLOGIST - A character of Matilda’s creation. Everything this character does is grand and exaggerated.

ACROBAT - A product of Matilda’s imagination.

MISS HONEY - A teacher at Matilda’s school. She is kind, is generous, and really cares about the children despite her own desperate circumstances.

AGATHA TRUNCHBULL - 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. The Trunchbull can be played by a male or female (though the character is female).

RUDOLPHO - Mrs. Wormwood’s self-obsessed dance teacher.

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

ENSEMBLE - Ensemble roles include Russians, Little Kids, Big Kids (including Big Kid 1, Big Kid 2, and Big Kid 3), Kids, Mums, Dads, the Cook, and the Mechanic
