Roald Dahl’s children’s novel Matilda was published in 1988. The novel was adapted to the silver screen in a 1996 movie directed by Danny Devito. It tells the story of a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers who, with the support of her teacher, tries to rid her school of its evil headmistress Miss Trunchbull. The musical adaptation received its West End (London) premiere in 2011 and its Broadway premiere in 2013. A 2022 movie release of the musical is available on Netflix.
