Description

Actors for productions of “Matilda” and “Scrooge!”. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below.

About the project:
“Matilda”: Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish 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!
“Scrooge!”: In 1970, renowned writer/composer/lyricist Leslie Bricusse adapted Charles Dickens’ tale A Christmas Carol into a hit screen musical Scrooge, and in 1992 he adapted it into a full-scale stage musical. Keeping the original songs, including the Academy Award nominated “Thank You Very Much”, this rousing stage version includes six new songs. Scrooge! The Musical tells the timeless story of redemption and love through a beautiful musical score and heartwarming drama.
