ARCADE's Spotlight Youth Theatre's latest production of Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical Jr. performed four shows to fully sold out performances.
Spotlight Theatre, Bridlington.
Friday 27th June - Sunday 29th June 2025.
Meet Matilda – a brilliant little girl with a big imagination and an even bigger secret.
Her parents barely notice her, too busy watching TV to care. School is a nightmare under the tyrannical rule of the fearsome Miss Trunchbull, but Matilda isn’t just smart – she’s got a special power that just might turn the tables.
With courage, cleverness, and being just a little bit naughty, Matilda is ready to teach the grown-ups a lesson they’ll never forget.
ARCADE's Spotlight Youth Theatre present the musical version of the much-loved children's book, Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical Jr.
The cast of 32 young people were directed by Alice Kynman (she/her, Musician and Young Talent Director at Stephen Joseph Theatre)
