Matilda the Musical was first produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company and was a huge hit in London before coming to Broadway in 2013, where it won four Tony Awards.
The title role is performed by three girls, Gabby Gutierrez, Mia Sinclair Jenness, and Mabel Tyler, in rotation, following the Broadway production. The cast includes Jennifer Blood (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder) as Miss Honey, Bryce Ryness (First Date) as Miss Trunchbull, and Quinn Mattfeld (Pal Joey) and Cassie Silva as Mr. Matilda Wormwood outmaneuvers her cruel, neglectful parents and her villainous school principal, Miss Trunchbull, in her journey to happiness.
3-13.In one of the most anticipated events of the summer for Boston theater fans, the national touring production of the Broadway hit Matilda the Musical opens a 12-day run today at the Boston Opera House.īased on the popular 1988 novel by Roald Dahl, with original music and lyrics by comedian Tim Minchin and book by Tony Award winner Dennis Kelly, the musical is about a brilliant and precocious five-year-old who uses the power of her vivid imagination to create a better life for herself. “As Anticipated” is an entire program devoted to his work. The Boston Ballet has formed a fruitful partnership with William Forsythe (maybe his generation’s Balanchine?). Go see this season opener then get tickets for all of these. The blend of familiarity and boldness in “My Obsession” mirrors the Boston Ballet’s mission, and its 2012-2023 season. “Apollo’s” steps are set to a Stravinsky score “Allegro Brillante” uses Tchaikovsky’s Third Piano Concerto - a couple of juggernauts that provide a perfect counterpoint to Jagger and Richards. Considered by many (or maybe most) to be the 20th century’s greatest choreographer, Balanchine created works that feel reassuring and revolutionary. Galloway and Pickett’s works mix with two selections from George Balanchine.īalanchine’s “Apollo” and “Allegro Brillante” reminded that ballet of every age has a visceral, sublime punch. He sells his piece through both the raw (a little hip sway or swaggering walk) and dazzlingly complex - two dozen dancers swinging between discord and harmony for 20 minutes.Ĭhoreographer Helen Pickett’s “Tsukiyo” also pushes ballet to its limits, and principal dancers Fentroy and Paul Craig are up to the challenge in this adventurous, experimental, sensual pas de deux - the piece received an ecstatic standing ovation on Thursday night. With “DEVIL’S/eye,” he brings an unhinged joy, a madcap freedom, to the art. Galloway, a former principal dancer for Ballet Frankfurt, has worked with the Stones for years as a creative consultant. Stephen Galloway’s “DEVIL’S/eye” uses five Rolling Stones songs to create a steamy, electric tribute to the band’s music and modern dance.
