‘Matilda the Musical’ stars Emma Thompson, Stephen Graham, Andrea Riseborough, Sindhu Vee, Alisha Weir, and Lashana Lynch, and is directed by the Tony Award-winning Matthew Warchus, who also directed the stage musical. The adaption is based on the 1988 children’s novel of the same name written by Roald Dahl.
“The story centers around Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir), a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind, and a vivid imagination — and the worst parents (Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough) in the world,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “While they keep themselves content with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, Matilda loves to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books. Where they’re loud, selfish and unkind she’s a quiet observer, thinking up small and cheeky acts of rebellion and revenge.”
