Meet the Characters Lead Roles Matilda Our extraordinary hero — brilliant, brave, and kind, with a love of books and a few magical tricks up her sleeve. A strong singer and actor. This is the heart of the show. Miss Honey Matilda's warm and caring teacher. Sweet, gentle, and quietly strong. A lovely singing role. Miss Trunchbull The terrifying headmistress of Crunchem Hall. Big, bold, and deliciously villainous. A dream role for a fearless character actor! Mr. Wormwood Matilda's bumbling, scheming father. Hilarious and larger than life. Perfect for a strong comedic performer. Mrs. Wormwood Matilda's self-absorbed mother, obsessed with ballroom dancing and her own appearance. A fun, showy role.

Nigel — An enthusiastic, lovable classmate with featured solo moments. Michael Wormwood — Matilda's not-so-bright older brother. Great comedic timing a plus.
