🎭📚 Musical in a Day: Inspired by Matilda

With Monkeys in Motion

Can your child learn, rehearse and perform a musical in just one day? Absolutely!

Join Monkeys in Motion for our exciting Musical in a Day experience, inspired by the much-loved story and songs of Matilda the Musical. This unique workshop gives children the opportunity to become part of a cast, learn scenes, songs and choreography, and work together to create a fantastic mini production in just one day.

Throughout the day, children will develop their confidence, creativity and performance skills as they sing, dance, act and perform, guided by our experienced Monkeys in Motion team in a fun and supportive environment.

Children will rehearse key moments from the musical, learn choreography and songs, explore characters, and bring the story to life using costumes, props and performance pieces provided by us.

The highlight of the day is a special end-of-day performance, where parents and carers are invited back to watch the children showcase everything they have achieved in just a few hours.

The day will include:

🎭 Acting, singing and dancing workshops
🎶 Learning songs and choreography inspired by Matilda
📚 Character exploration and storytelling
✨ Rehearsing scenes and performance pieces
👗 Costumes and props provided for the showcase
🎤 End-of-day performance for family and friends
🏅 Certificate to take home
