EPHS Production of Matilda

Eden Prairie High School presents Matilda, a musical based on Roald Dahl’s classic book. Performances will be in the EPHS Performing Arts Center

November 8th & 9th and November 14th through 16th all at 7pm plus a matinee at 1:00pm on Saturday, November 16th.

The musical features memorable characters like Matilda and her classmates Amanda Thripp and Bruce Bogtrotter, and, of course, the terrifying headmistress, Miss Truchbull. The Trunchbull and the exaggerated characters of Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood, Matilda’s self-absorbed parents, are products of Dahl’s subversive humor, and composer Tim Minchin’s clever and dynamic music enhances the fun with songs like “When I Grow Up” and “Revolting Children.”

Matilda’s storyline showcases reading as a superpower and ultimately proves that being young doesn’t mean you have to put up with someone else trying to control your story. She sings, “If you’re little, you can do a lot; you mustn’t let a little thing like little stop you.” To overcome the tyranny of Miss Trunchbull, Matilda and her classmates discover, “Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” Watching them carry out the naughtiness of their revolt will entertain and inspire audiences!

Eden Prairie’s production will feature over 80 students in the cast, pit orchestra, and tech crew. With additional students who have worked on set, props, and costuming crews, over 100 students will be part of this production.
