Silhouette Stages announces auditions for its

October 2026 production of
ROALD DAHL’S MATILDA THE MUSICAL

​

Book by Dennis Kelly
Music and Lyrics by Tim Minchin
Based on the book, Matilda by Roald Dahl

​

The Tony Award-winning musical Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, is a bold, imaginative story that celebrates the power of courage, intelligence, and taking control of your own story. Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, this production celebrates a multi-generational cast, blending humor and heart with show-stopping moments for performers of all ages.

Matilda Wormwood is an extraordinary young girl with a brilliant mind and a vivid imagination, growing up in a home that neither understands nor appreciates her. At school, she faces the tyrannical headmistress Miss Trunchbull, whose cruel rules stifle creativity and joy. With the support of her kind teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda discovers her own inner strength and begins to challenge the injustices around her.

A whimsical yet powerful musical, Matilda combines sharp storytelling with unforgettable songs to celebrate the resilience of children and the transformative power of standing up for what is right.
