Description

UnitedHealth Group Stage

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, this is the story of Matilda. Her dreadful parents hate her. Her headmistress is a horrible, nasty, name-calling, life-sucking tyrant who puts kids in cupboards with nails and broken glass. (And you thought you had it bad.) This captivating girl-power romp revels in the anarchy of childhood. Celebrating the tenacity of the small, Matilda proves that the strength to be yourself (along with a little telekinetic power) will prevail at the end of the day.

Book by Dennis Kelly (Tony® Award Winner – Best Book of a Musical)
Music and lyrics by Tim Minchin
Orchestrations and additional music by Chris Nightingale
Directed by Peter C. Brosius

Additional information

Please arrive by:

* Please plan to arrive by 9:30am (1 hour before showtime) in order to have plenty of time to find parking, check in with the organizer, visit the bathrooms and otherwise be prepared for our group to be seated promptly. Please plan to be early to avoid being late due to inadequate maps, confusing road signs, road construction, heavy traffic, parking difficulties, inclement weather or uncooperative children. 

* Seats are determined on day of the show. Seating is dependent on when group is ready to be seated and our group will not be seated until everyone is present. Groups are seated in the order that their Group Check-In Pass is presented to the Check-In Usher. Once the organizer has the Group Check-In Pass, the group will proceed upstairs in a single file line. Wait at the top of the stairs for the Check-In Usher to lead our group to the entrance to the theatre in a single file line to be seated. 

* Seats cannot be saved. Everyone in the group should take the seats the ushers indicate. CTC aims to keep groups together but groups may be split between rows. If certain adults need to be with certain children, those adults should be standing next to those children in the single file line. If they are separated during the seating process, they should take the seats indicated and rearranged their seating within the group only after the entire group has been seated. 

Where to meet:

Please gather in the granite lobby, by the ticket office until the group lead has checked in and received the Group Check-In Pass and Ticket Stickers, unless directed elsewhere by the staff. Please check in with the organizer when you arrive. Everyone in the group must be present before check-in. Tickets cannot be left at the ticket office.

Food policy:

No food or beverages are allowed in the theatre. 

Alternate plans:

During inclement weather, allow extra travel time. CTC does not cancel or delay performances due to weather. After the cancellation deadline, no refunds or exchanges can be made if you are unable to attend your scheduled performance for any reason, including weather. CTC does not provide refunds or exchanges for unused tickets, nor day-of-show compensation (absent vouchers) for absent students, chaperones or educators. A refund will be offered only in the unlikely event that Children’s Theatre Company cancels the performance. A Weekday Student Matinee performance will be canceled by 7am only if one of the following events has occurred: A state of emergency has been declared. CTC does not have power and/or heat. MNDOT has pulled plows off the road due to unsafe driving conditions. Metro Transit has suspended bus service due to unsafe driving conditions. Minneapolis Public Schools have canceled school due to cold/weather.
