Matilda is the musical of Roald Dahl’s story about an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny,

Matilda Wormwood Is a courageous young schoolgirl with a thirst for knowledge who possesses astonishing wit, intelligence, psychokinetic powers and an extraordinary imagination; everything she sees, hears and reads about is an opportunity to learn.

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. But together they must overcome obstacles, such as the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules.

Trying to save the day, Matilda and Miss Honey overthrow the system, creating a brand new world for them.

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, this is a musical that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. This joyous girl power romp will thrill children and adults alike!

Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet!

Deloris Van Cartier, a famous disco singer, is put into witness protection in a convent. While struggling through the restrictions of her new lifestyle, she finds comfort in the church's choir and while there ends up inspiring the church and community.

Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community. The nuns also help give her a bigger purpose in her life, showing her a genuine love and affection that was missing prior to her arrival at the convent.

The choir’s success keeps growing, contributing towards a fund to remodel the church. They are also asked to perform for the Pope. However, in working with the church, Deloris blows her cover and soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

With music by Alan Menken this is an uplifting musical that is filled with powerful, soul-stirring gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story that will leave audiences breathless!

Sister Act is a joyous show that uses music to bring different communities, and lifestyles, together, and is a sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship! Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
