One boy has to eat an entire chocolate cake while on stage, plus we have to actually recreate Matilda’s telekinesis. “There are some tricks in this show that we have to figure out. This show will require a bit of magic to pull off. I think imagination is better than the actual set piece.”- Beth DomannĦ. Yikes! “While you never actually see the Chokey you know it’s there-somewhere, ready to eat its next victim.

They treat her pretty poorly, so you like to see the kids win in this show. “Matilda doesn’t come from a good family. In fact, they have 10 reasons audiences should be pumped and headed to the box office immediately. But Education Director Lorianne Dunn and Executive Director Beth Domann aren’t worried. If you’re familiar with Matilda, you know SLT is going to have to do some magic of its own to bring this wildly colorful and unbelievable story to life.
