The Matilda in Concert performance originally scheduled for September 9 at State Theatre New Jersey (STNJ) has been postponed, due to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike.
Everyone involved in this production was very much looking forward to performing together this September and we are disappointed to have to postpone but look forward to a performance on a future date once the strike has concluded.
NJ Symphony is working with the artists and STNJ on a new date for the performance and will communicate the new date with patrons once it is confirmed. For patrons who are unable to attend on the new concert date, we are able to offer other options, including a full refund of the ticket, ticket fees and (if applicable) VIP package.

Danny DeVito narrator
David Newman conductor
New Jersey Symphony
Acclaimed actor, producer, director and narrator, Danny DeVito, will join famed film composer David Newman and the New Jersey Symphony in a very special performance of Matilda in Concert at State Theatre New Jersey on September 9, 2023—only the second time this beloved film has ever been featured in a live concert! This one-night-only performance is a rare chance to see NJ native Danny DeVito narrate the film live, all while the charming score is performed live to picture—plus, a few surprise guests may grace the stage during the performance!
Based on Roald Dahl’s award-winning book and directed by Danny DeVito, from a screenplay by Nicholas Kazan & Robin Swicord, Matilda is the story of a little girl (Mara Wilson) who loves books and wants to go to school. Belittled by mean parents and terrorized by a disparaging school headmistress, Matilda uses her secret telekinetic gift to stand up for herself, her friends, and the lovely Ms. Honey. This humorous and touching coming-of-age story will have audience members young and old humming in their seats!
