[@PS-of3es]

TBR4EVA same

[@kinggeorgeiii7229]

Wait on the actors skin color the wig color changes like if I have light skin color it will still be blond?

[@GamerBoi2000]

No it depends on the hair color of the actor

[@kinggeorgeiii7229]

@@GamerBoi2000 oh so i would have a black wig of i was amanda idk?

[@GamerBoi2000]

Basically so it doesn’t look like she had to dye her hair her skin color

[@caragrabowski8742]

I love this musical. It was the first Broadway play that I ever saw and my inspiration to join theatre at school. Definitely one of my favorites. At the time that I saw this, I had just finished reading the book for school. Once I saw it, I became very obsessed, and I still am! So good!

[@emily.oetting]

My favorite Matilda is Oona :)

[@christinapyrros72]

I also love Oona

[@amybowman6487]

All of the girls are amazing and shine in their own areas, I like bailey :)

[@Leah_music]

I’m quite late but my favourite Matilda’s are Cleo Demetriou, Elise Blake and Zaris angel Hator (all west end!!)

[@emmyruegg5596]

Im extremley late vut Oona was always my favorite

[@ttryon_65478]

My fave out of this group is Oona or Milly

[@EverythingMe15]

So many child actors and they are doing such a good job!.

[@UndeadCr7]

My favorite actors from Newsies were here and I had to pause every moment to see each face. I finally found them both after many minutes. I think I might sleep now.

[@poisonghoul]

Thayne and Ryan? Me too, I've been fangirling for the past hour as I searched all Matilda videos for them. Mostly Thayne :3

This NEEDS to win Best Musical!

[@scorpioninpink]

the future of broadway looks bright with these childrens...

[@darkinetix]

Reminds me of the scenes with the schoolkids in Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'... Which makes it that much more incredibly awesome. Can't wait to see this.

[@doctorwhogirl77]

It's like a baby Spring Awakening

[@moorewjr]

This show is far deeper, richer, and truly more profound than "Spring Awakening."

[@Siegfried1917]

why would you compare this to spring awakening

[@adoragrayskull]

@@Siegfried1917 i don't know why either like sprig awakenig is about your sexual awakenig and how taboo only makes things worse Matilda is.... Matilda. Has tons and tons of deep messages, but none of which should be compared to spring awakening

This Show Should've Won The Tony For Best Musical

[@mordecai7755]

Agreed!! What won that year instead of Matilda??

[@spencernewman4094]

Mordecai Kinky Boots won(if you hadn’t already googled it)

[@anitapittman4095]

Matilda the musical nat tour should come to Georgia 👍😃

Excellente comédie musicale vue en Août 2015. Excellents artistes enfants... Un rythme endiablé, une comédie drôle et vraiment plaisante. J'ai passé un très bon moment... A voir absolument si vous passez à Broadway. Richard

[@ChickenGeorgeClooney]

Wait, is Trunchbull played by a man or a woman, because the voice is female but the face definitely looks male.

[@brianahale5459]

Trunchbull is played by a man :3

[@ro7950]

Is a men

[@adriangroenewald3825]

Bertie Cavel.

[@jackpowell8307]

A man and the voice is feminine because he is doing something that people normally tend to do in the theatre called acting

[@-espeon]

Daniel The Wolf Yeah, I love this cast for its diversity with the children ensemble. Although, the I think the West End has more diversity with its Matildas.

I don't think you have ever seen "Once" if you describe it as a "snorefest"

[@DeMilleGal]

Why didn't this win Best musical?!!!

[@aysaagarcia]

Excuse me. "Spring Awakening" is just a deep, rich and truly profound as "Matilda". Both are amazing and unique in their own right.

[@donaldoconner]

it should have won.

[@zoeykeith]

I mean...it received for Tony's, so...how bad is that?

[@Yagaboshi]

lol trolling? The music in this show is amazingly clever and uses masterful word-play. It also makes many refrences to Dahl's works and the book itself. There is a reason the show is so well-received. Your opinion is of less worth than the man on the corner wearing Doomsday signs and a tinfoil hat. No one care if you see it when it's already a success.

[@deborahfirby2022]

i like the desk the streamer in Matilda

[@rocknroll20024]

how the hell did this not win i will never know

Do they have a video of the whole musical not just little clips?

And you obviously havent actually seen the show, it's *NOTHING* like Spring Awakening. The only similarity is the purposeful nod to Spring Awakening during Revolting Children.

[@funkyflyswim]

rephrase?

[@taylorwelch444]

I think Erica is Beatrice's understudy just in case someone get sick or can't perform. I do a lot of theater stuff drama kids know this stuff.

[@hallejenns1425]

They both play the same character. There are two or three actors for each child role so that none of the actors get worn out performing every day, and there is always a stand by for every character. They have three 'teams' so the cast rotates meaning there are no under study's for the kids roles.

[@ailsagraham8001]

so do i and everyoneknows that and there are also teams and you should know that i yu are a d "drama kid"

[@madisonjackson4293]

Halle Jenns The "Teams" are only for the West End cast. On Broadway they have "Swings" which is a performer who learns multiple roles in the show and can step in for any of the roles when needed, but only one child on broadway hold the "title role", there are no teams, only one child per role and a swing to fill in for them when needed. Erica Simone Barnette was a swing for both Lavender and Amanda Thrip, so she could come in the show for either character, but wasn't the primary actress for either role. If you pause the video, at 1:36, you can see Erica filling in for Beatrice as Amanda, and then in the next second, 1:37, you can see her filling in for Frennie as Lavender in Miracle. Also in "Bruce" when she is not Amanda, you can see her as Lavender on the opposite side of the screen.

[@ailsagraham8001]

I was in another show and it wadnt west end and they jad teams. Thats wat tjry done for all og the shows i have been in Madison Jackson

[@madisonjackson4293]

Yeah, they probably do it in other shows as well, but just not on broadway, that's all.

[@jojogarcia8766]

[@thesarah0128]

Once was an amazing musical, its not they're fault if you cant enjoy beautifully written music and an amazing story line. No hate to newsies though, they were spectacular.

[@Magitroopa]

DON'T TELL LIES! I PREDICT THAT NPH WILL ONCE MORE HOST THE TONY AWARDS NEXT YEAR BECAUSE HE IS LEGEN-NO 'WAIT FOR IT' -DARY! (Though, now that I said that, Hugh Jackman will probably be the host...)

[@alexlinian]

So, does the Matilda character not have a show stopping number they could feature here?

[@2L84U]

Matilda has plenty of songs, but they're generally not as lively as the ones depicted in the trailer (Bruce and Revolting Children). Her songs such as Naughty and Quiet are amazing, but they don't fit with the upbeat, exciting theme of the trailer, so I expect that's why they're not included.

[@jasperblight1972]

hi

[@sunderlandgrl]

I don't see how the school uniforms are relevant. It's not just private schools that have uniforms in England. It's actually very rare to find a school in England without a uniform therefore to stage this musical without the kids in uniforms would be silly. I can see how people get that thought from the Revolting Children performance, but to compare it to Spring Awakening is definitely wrong based on remote similarities in one performance. The rest of the show is very different.

[@sunderlandgrl]

No...it's really not. Please go and see the show first before making that comment again. Then you will understand that both shows are nothing alike.

[@nemrac2408]

What's the song called with the mats

[@prochr]

[@TsWade2]

Matilda The Musical better win a Tony for Best Musical. Even though those tony voting anti-disney jerks should of vote Newsies for Best Musical instead that snorefest Once.

[@donaldoconner]

just to play devils advocate, there are a lot of superficial similarities in this video. kids in private school uniforms breaking rank to sing rock songs. He is wrong about the musical, but you can see how he thought that from the video

[@desireunikorn5018]

This isnt necessarily a private school. Matilda is set in Britain, and british schools have uniform. It is very rare to find one without it.

[@nerdygeek2012]

I agree, I don't like how Kinky Boots has too much sexual material... Well go Matilda!

[@iDoodllez]

...Sorry to tell you this but your that so raven powers no longer work... they sadly didnt win... you can no longer predict the future.

[@ro7950]

i Doodlez Matilda doesn’t predict the future she moves things with her mind

[@doctorwhogirl77]

No need to get defensive, you're right I haven't seen Matilda. Excuse me for not being affording a plane ticket to NYC and a ticket to a current Broadway show. However, I've read the book and seen the movie and there are more similarities in the stories than I think you're acknowledging. Both focus on a student not being challenged enough in school, surrounded by adults who don't understand/pay attention, both try to convert others to their beliefs. So calm down, it isn't "*NOTHING*" like SA.

[@desireunikorn5018]

This is west end, british version of broadway :)

It’s not mad each part tells u about the song like when the kids are on the desks there happy that Trunchbull is gone and they are free
