Published on July 26, 2024

Marriott Bonvoy Moments and the Renaissance Santo Domingo Jaragua Hotel are thrilled to present “Matilda: The Musical,” featuring a script by Dennis Kelly and music and lyrics by the talented Australian comedian Tim Minchin. This highly acclaimed show, based on Roald Dahl’s iconic novel, arrives in the Dominican Republic, offering Marriott Bonvoy members an exclusive opportunity to bid on a unique experience at the Renaissance Santo Domingo Jaragua Hotel.

The musical, inspired by the beloved story of Matilda, a girl with extraordinary abilities and telekinetic powers, explores themes of empowerment, friendship, and the incredible power of imagination. Facing indifference from her parents and cruelty from the headmistress Miss Trunchbull, Matilda finds solace in reading and the companionship of the kind Miss Honey.

Marriott Bonvoy members can bid to immerse themselves in the world of musical theater in the Dominican Republic with a two-night stay at the Renaissance Santo Domingo Jaragua Hotel from August 16th – 18th. The package includes two VIP tickets to “Matilda: The Musical” at Teatro La Fiesta on Saturday, August 17th, pre-show nibbles and drinks at Luna Restaurant, an exclusive meet and greet with the cast, and a backstage tour after the show.
