National Youth Theater (NYT) announces auditions for the Tony award-winning Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical. Auditions for this production are open to ages 8 to 19 and will be held on Friday, January 10, 2020 at Lone Star College in Tomball.

 

Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.

 

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit and intelligence. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly lovable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other’s lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!

 

Auditions will be held Friday, January 10 with callbacks on Saturday, January 11. Auditions, callbacks, and rehearsals will be held at Lone Star College Tomball located at 30555 Tomball Parkway in Tomball. Rehearsals begin January 31, with performances taking place April 17-19. The directorial team includes director Holly Jasso, assistant director Aimee Bowles, vocal director Dr. Lisa Morales, and choreographer Jenny Gallegos.

 

Those auditioning should prepare a musical theatre song, 16-32 bars or one minute in length; or a combination of song and monologue, one minute in length total. Dance may also be included if so inclined. Bring an accompaniment on your iPad, iPod, or Smartphone to sing with.
