Here’s the trailer for Netflix‘s adaptation of the Tony and Olivier award-winning musical, Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, which tells the story of an extraordinary girl, with a vivid imagination, who dares to take a stand to change her story with miraculous results.
The new version of Roald Dahl’s classic story stars Alisha Weir as Matilda Wormwood, Captain Marvel’s Lashana Lynch as Miss Jennifer Honey and Emma Thompson as Miss Agatha Trunchbull. The film is based on the wildly successful stage adaptation of Dahl’s book, which had music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and book by Dennis Kelly. The 1996 film adaptation of the book, which was directed by Danny DeVito and starred Mara Wilson, Embeth Davidtz, Pam Ferris, Rhea Pearlman and DeVito, has become a family classic in the nearly 3o years since its release.
Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical streams on Netflix on December 9, 2022.
