ORLANDO, Fla. — Tickets are now on sale for the return of “Matilda the Musical” at Theatre South Playhouse in Dr. Phillips.
The professional production will run from Nov. 6 through Nov. 22. The musical previously played sold-out runs at the theater in 2019 and 2023.
Based on Roald Dahl’s children’s book, the musical follows Matilda, an intelligent young girl who uses her imagination and courage to challenge the adults controlling her life.
Hillary Brook will direct the production, with choreography by Sterling Lovett, restaged by Chris Payen, and musical direction by Seth Durbin.
Brook said the production will offer a new interpretation of the story without relying on projections or special effects.
“All of the magic will be found within our remarkable cast,” Brook said.
The cast includes returning local performer Jonny Jones as Miss Trunchbull and young actors from across the Orlando area.
Theatre South Playhouse will present 15 performances during the three-week run, including afternoon and evening shows. An industry night performance is scheduled for Nov. 16.
Individual tickets start at $40. Discounts are available for seniors, arts industry employees and theme park workers with proof of employment.
