    What an incredibly proud moment for us all tonight! Opening evening performance and they completely blew us away! Watching them grow with every show has been so special, and tonight they truly shone. What a cast, what a show! It was pure Matilda Jr. magic! A limited number of tickets remain for tomorrow if anyone would like to purchase a ticket! We are so proud of you all
