Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, but Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and unforgettable characters, Matilda is a magical musical theater experience. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
for Juniors
Marlin, a worried and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his child Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin must face his fears and set off on an epic adventure across the ocean. Along the way, they meet friendly characters such as the cheerful Dory, the relaxed sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Fish Tank Gang. Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo Jr. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.
