I first encountered Matilda when I was in grade school, and I remember turning pages with delight, enthralled by this little girl whose world was full of cruel adults, awkward children, wondrous moments of magic, and wildly creative stories. There’s a lot of darkness in this tale, and the musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic leans into that dark. But at the center is a little girl who discovers her power in the midst of (or because of) injustice and stands up to the tyranny of the Big Bad Guys. 

Because of the stories she reads, Matilda is able to envision a world different from the one in which she lives. As her awareness of right and wrong grows, so do her actions, and what begins as questioning patterns turns into breaking rules and standing up for what’s right. Matilda’s little actions of rebellion embolden others, ultimately sparking the change that shifts the world. 

So it is my pleasure to welcome you into this world of Matilda, where stories have power, the bad guys are clearly the bad guys, and the good guys–regardless of size–come into their power and triumph. It’s a story we all can celebrate right now.

AN EXTRAORDINARY GIRL WITH ASTONISHING WIT CHANGES HER DESTINY!

 

Through dazzling performances and pumped-up musical arrangements, the twisted genius of Roald Dahl comes to life on stage in this story of an extraordinary girl. Armed with a sharp mind and vivid imagination, Matilda dares to take a stand against the nasty, name-calling, bullying adults in her life and change her story. Youth and grown-ups will be captivated by this hit musical that celebrates the power of imagination and the importance of becoming your own person. Get ready for a little revolution!

Matilda is a fantastical story of extreme light and dark, and a powerful girl who knows the difference. As we wonder what makes the story resonate with so many, it’s helpful to remember where the story comes from and who has told it so far.

Matilda was originally a book, written by Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl is best known for being a prolific children’s author, with famous works like James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and many more. Many of Roald Dahl’s books were written for children, but he began his writing career with short stories geared toward adults. His body of work draws largely from his lived experiences. In fact, the first short story he ever published was about his experience crashing a plane as a fighter pilot. Roald Dahl didn’t usually write about his own life so literally, but many characters and themes in his books (and especially in Matilda) can be traced back to the strict schools and strange experiences of his childhood.

 Dahl was born in September of 1916, in the United Kingdom. He lost his father at a young age, and his mother sent him to a series of strict boarding schools. In these settings Dahl rebelled, and he became known as boisterous and untamed. Disenchanted with school, Dahl elected not to go to university. Instead he traveled the world before enlisting in the Royal Air Force as a fighter pilot in 1939. After a crash landing left him too injured to continue flying, Roald Dahl was posted in Washington D.C. and supplied information to MI6, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service.

Roald Dahl was encouraged by a friend to write about his plane crash, and the story was his first piece of writing to be published. After this success, Dahl continued writing. Through the 1940’s and 1950’s, the majority of his writing was meant for adult readers, including one novel and many short stories.  

In 1953, Dahl met actress Patricia Neal, and the two fell in love. Their marriage resulted in five children, whose experiences also contributed to Dahl’s children’s books. In 1960, one of Roald and Patricia’s children was struck by a car and sustained serious head injuries. Desperate to help, Dahl worked with others to invent the Wade-Dahl-Till valve. The device worked to save his son’s life, relieving pressure that had built inside his head. It was after this experience that Roald Dahl started to write more books for children and fewer for adults.

After thirty years, Roald and Patricia divorced. Dahl remarried Felicity Crosland later in life, and together they started Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity. The Marvellous Children’s Charity persists today, providing support and health care for children with complex illnesses.

Roald Dahl wrote Matilda in 1988, two years before he passed away at age 74. 

Matilda struck a chord with many readers, and it didn’t take long after it was published for other artists to want to tell the revolting tale. In 1990, the book was adapted into a musical called Roald Dahl’s Matilda: The Musical Play by the Redgrave Theater in the United Kingdom. This adaptation was directed by Graham Walker, with music and lyrics by Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley.

The story was adapted again less than a decade later, this time as a movie. Danny DeVito was drawn to the book when his daughter brought it home at ten years old. He knew right away that it would make an excellent movie, and he got to work. Matilda was released in 1996, directed by and starring Danny DeVito. He and his then wife Rhea Perlman played opposite each other as the infamous Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood, Matilda’s negligent parents. Matilda was played by Mara Wilson, who would become lifelong friends with Danny and Rhea.

In 2010 the book was adapted by Dennis Kelly into another musical, simply called Matilda. Kelly was approached by the Royal Shakespeare Company in the United Kingdom and asked to write the musical. Musician and comedian Tim Minchin helped with the music and lyrics. The pair worked well together, and before long they had written a hugely successful musical. Matilda opened on the West End in 2011 and made its Broadway debut two years later.

Dennis Kelly and Tim Minchin created a critically acclaimed piece of art that has spoken to millions of people. At the onset though, neither of them thought of themselves as likely candidates to do so.

While theatre was an important element in Dennis Kelly’s early life, he didn’t try writing plays until his late twenties, with his first play being produced at thirty. Much of Kelly’s work is in-yer-face theatre, a form of theatre known for being confrontational and abrasive, meant to disrupt audience expectations. The Royal Shakespeare Company approached Dennis to ask him to adapt the book Matilda into a musical in 2009. He wrote three drafts before seeking out Tim Minchin for help with the music and lyrics.

Tim Minchin attended the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts and spent his twenties acting, writing music, and playing in bands. Minchin moved to Melbourne with his wife, Sarah Gardiner, in 2002. There he continued playing gigs and writing new material diligently. In 2005 he was launched into minor celebrity when his musical comedy routine ‘Darkside’ became a smash success. Over the next five years, Tim Minchin would tour the world, making audiences laugh and cry with his sharp wit and wild piano playing. When he was asked to write music for Matilda, he was both honored and incredulous. He agreed to take the project on, and wrote songs alongside Dennis Kelly. Together they created one of the most impactful and celebrated musicals of a generation, winning seven Olivier Awards and five Tony Awards.
