The RSC is looking for boys and girls to play Matilda, Bruce, Lavender and their classmates for its production of Matilda The Musical at the Cambridge Theatre, London. There is lots of singing involved, as well as acting and even more dancing!

All children must be between the ages of 8 and 13, and must be under 4ft 10' tall.

Boys must have unbroken voices.

All children must live within the M25, as we would like them to live at home and attend their own schools.

However, for the roles of Matilda and Bruce only, we welcome children from further afield. The RSC assist with accommodation and tutoring where necessary.

All children must be available for the entire rehearsal and performance period.
January to mid September 2013, and no holidays will be allowed during this period.
Parents must be able to bring their child into all rehearsals and performances.

For the part of Matilda please only apply if your child is under 4ft 3"

For all other parts children must be under 4ft 10"

All roles - except for Matilda - need to be extremely strong dancers.
