The theater company said the musical, much like the beloved film, follows Matilda, a girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers, who impresses her schoolteacher. Matilda faces many challenges along the way, including the cruelty of her parents and the school’s headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who hates children.
