Standout performances also included Kat Larrick as Miss Trunchbull, the volatile headmistress of Crunchem Hall. Together, Odegard and Cummings developed a comfortable rapport, resulting in an ultimately touching relationship.
Cummings's vocal technique was commendable, especially in the song "My House," which demonstrated a refined tone and superb control. Approaching the role with clear intention, Cummings acted as an authentic maternal figure for Matilda and the rest of the schoolchildren.
Alongside Odegard, Mia Cummings shone as the kindhearted Miss Honey. Eye-catching movement and a consistent British accent were further hallmarks of Odegard's engaging performance. Tempering Matilda's maturity with childlike inflection and mannerisms, Odegard crafted a remarkably believable character. With a strong sense of justice, a penchant for mischief, and the help of her teacher Miss Honey, Matilda sets out to "put things right," and take down the bullying Headmistress Agatha Trunchbull.Īnneliese Odegard embodied the titular Matilda with spirit and spunk. Based on Roald Dahl's children's book of the same name, the show follows Matilda Wormwood, an exceptionally bright five-year-old with telekinetic powers. The original production won seven Olivier Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by a Broadway run, a US national tour, and several international productions. ‘Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical,’ with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly, opened on the West End in 2011 to critical acclaim. A delightful romp through a world of magic, mischief and miracles, this lively musical is as hilarious as it is heartfelt. That's the question put forth in Wakefield High School's production of Matilda. But what happens when their overlooked child may truly be miraculous after all? Every parent thinks their child is a miracle.
