Matilda hits final weekend

“Even if you’re little, you can do a lot,” says a line in Naughty, which is probably the most popular song from the wellloved musical Matilda. This says much about Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group’s latest offering — the staging of Roald Dahl’s classic story about Matilda in the Philippines. It tells the story of an amazing little girl with extraordinary intelligence and psychokinetic powers.

Now reaching its final weekend starting tomorrow, Dec. 8, until Dec. 10 at the Meralco Theater, the musical shows how little Matilda and her friends fight against the injustices of childhood with their wit, bravery and by being a little bit naughty.

Since its opening performance last Nov. 10 at the Meralco Theater, Matilda the Musical has been acclaimed by theatergoers both young and old, making it one of the best theater events this season.

Headlining the musical treat are three equally talented Matildas — Esang de Torres, Felicity Kyle Napuli and Uma Naomi Martin. From the outstanding performances of theater veterans and the amazing young actors who played Crunchem Hall’s revolting children to its masterfully crafted set design, the musical is certainly a delightful production.

There will be no re-runs so catch Matilda The Musical on its final weekend. Tickets are available at Ticketworld (call 891-9999 or visit www.ticketworld. com.ph). For details, visit http://atlantistheatrical.com/faq.
