Academy Spring Production 24-25: Matilda the Musical

The academy's spring production is 'Matila the Muscial'.  

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

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!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

This production will be running for two consecutive nights - 2nd & 3rd April 2025. Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7:00pm for family and friends. This production will also include two matinee performances for local primary schools to attend at 2pm on each day

We are so proud here at HARI of how incredibly dedicated our cast and crew are.
