Matilda is a witty, intelligent young girl with psychokinetic powers. The clever character was created by the popular children’s author Roald Dahl, and her story was later adapted as a musical.
The show was a massive hit in London and on Broadway, and now the Atlanta Lyric Theatre presents a production of “Matilda: The Musical” playing through June 26. Director Bethany Irby and actress Marissa Bondurant, who plays Matilda, joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes to talk about their experience bringing this beloved tale to the stage.
