10 roles
The hero of the show. She’s brilliant, resilient, creative, and kind, despite growing up in difficult circumstances. Her parents treat her poorly, but Matilda escapes into a world of books, which puts her reading level far above the other children in her class, and she develops a bit of magical power in an effort to defeat Trunchbull. Gender: female Range: D5 to Bb3
A student at school with Matilda. Trunchbull throws her through the air using her pigtails.
One of Matilda’s schoolmates. He has the bad luck to get caught after eating Trunchbull’s cake. Range: F#4 to C3
One of the kids at school with Matilda. She is kind and bright (though not as brilliant as Matilda) and quickly decides that Matilda is her best friend. Gender: female Range: D5 to C4
One of the kids at school with Matilda. He is enthusiastic, sweet, and always in a bit of a panic. Range: D4 to C3
Matilda’s father. He is egotistical, rude, and not very bright, not to mention a liar. Though Mr. Wormwood is not a good person and he is mean to Matilda, his harebrained schemes can be hilariously funny and makes a dynamic pair with Mrs. Wormwood.
Matilda’s mother. Like her husband, she dislikes Matilda and does not understand why her daughter loves to read. Mrs. Wormwood is selfish, obsessed with her own appearance, and believes everything she sees on TV. Her dancing lessons with Rudolpho are the most important part of her day. Nasty and ridiculous.
Matilda’s brother. He is not very bright, though he is the apple of his father’s eye. Deadpan delivery.
The kindly librarian who loves hearing Matilda’s stories.
