Students to stage a special Matilda performance

Saddleworth School is set to present a vibrant and energetic production of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical Jr.

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.  

Tickets are £5 and can be purchased online at bit.ly/MatildaSaddleworth. Doors open at 6pm, with the show beginning at 7pm.  

Refreshments will be on sale before the performance, courtesy of Friends of Saddleworth School [FOSS], who are supporting the show.

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.
