Roald Dahl's Matilda, also known simply as Matilda and Matilda the Musical, is a musical with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly. It is based on the 1988 novel Matilda by Roald Dahl. The musical's narrative centers on Matilda Wormwood, a precocious five-year-old girl with the gift of telekinesis, who loves reading, overcomes obstacles caused by her family and school, and helps her teacher to reclaim her life.

Huntsville High School students and teachers have been working hard over the past 4 months to put this production together and it promises to be an epic performance!

Tickets available through Huntsville Festival of the Arts. 

Jesus Christ Superstar was the first musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, and has wowed audiences for over 50 years. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire. The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.”, and in addition to receiving countless awards and nominations, was made into a feature film in 1973.

Co-Directors Sherisse McGuey, Kasey Stephan and Louis Tusz have brought together an incredible team of over 60 talented local performers, crew members and musicians. This year’s musical is particularly significant as Jesus Christ Superstar was the first musical to be performed at the Algonquin Theatre in 2005 after its opening, and this year’s production will contribute to the planned celebrations for the 20th anniversary of its opening.

Recommended for Ages 12 and up. Tickets available through Huntsville Festival of the Arts.
