Senior Musical - Matilda!

 

We are thrilled to announce that HSPA has secured the performance rights for Roald Dahl’s MATILDA The Musical. The multi-award winning musical from the Royal Shakespeare Company, inspired by the beloved book by the incomparable Dahl, was adapted for the stage by Dennis Kelly and features the music and lyrical genius of Tim Minchin.

This year, MATILDA The Musical has become exclusively available to Australian schools and is yet to be performed anywhere in the country. HSPA will be among the first schools in the world to produce this much-loved story of an extraordinary girl with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, who dares to take a stand against oppressive forces and changes her own story,  

Performances will take place in Week 2, Term 4 in the Hunter Theatre. Auditions are open to all Year 7 – 11 students and will take place in Week 4, Term 1. All audition details, including Intent to Audition and Participation Agreement forms, are available below. Both forms must be returned to the front office by 15 February (Cast and Crew) or 21 February (Orchestra).
