Budding actors will perform across three nights from Monday, June 30, Tuesday, July 1, and Wednesday, July 2.
Audiences are invited to enjoy an unforgettable evening of music, mischief and magical storytelling as Matilda – a brilliant and brave young girl – dares to take a stand and rewrite her own story.
The performance showcases the creativity, teamwork, and dedication of Saddleworth’s students as they bring this much-loved tale to life.

Mr George Leitheiser, Head of Drama at Saddleworth School, said: "This show is a fantastic opportunity for our students to shine.
"They've worked incredibly hard, and we are so proud of the energy and talent they bring to the stage. It’s going to be a brilliant evening for everyone involved."
With catchy songs, laugh-out-loud moments, and a powerful message about standing up for what's right, Matilda The Musical Jr. is perfect for all ages.
