The maggot ladies were having so much fun in the girl talk room while the man cave was hectic. 😂😂😂

[@IWillBeHers]

I met her at the stagedoor after the 3/22 matinee (Paige was on for Matilda). I kind of gushed about how I've watched all of these vlogs and she seemed so flattered! She's very sweet in person.

[@MollyTurley]

I miss Gabe! Those 2 were so cute together!

[@Codykirby97]

[@JulianaCook]

HAHAHA I was there for the no wig performance it was so funny, you guys really pulled it off

[@laurenospina8066]

who came out without a wig? XD

[@JulianaCook]

Lauren Ospina Matt... you know in the scene where Mr. Wormwood is putting the tonic in his hair and Matilda had mixed the hair dye and tonic together? Anyway Mr. Wormwood puts the tonic in his hair and has a towel over top and massages it in and when he pulls of the towel he is to have green hair... well Matt pulled the whole wig off and I found it really funny how well they pulled it off.

[@olivialuvzpurplecows]

JulianaCook omg what how did they pull that off?! I mean the rest of the scene is based around his hair

[@JulianaCook]

Rose Woods they continued on with the scene and said all the dialogue.

[@ABroadwaystar2534]

I didn't know Grace Capeless had a peanut allergy, I never would've guessed that about her.

[@rhiannebrough9579]

THE NEW MATILDAS AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TickleMeElmo55]

If that was "Girl Talk" I wonder what's the atmosphere for "Boy Talk" ... If the boys even have such an inner sanctum.

[@Emma88178]

LandInbetween I’m sure they did. We just didn’t see it.

[@ItsSociallyDanielle]

[@hollysmith6791]

4:01 lol

[@jordan10112000]

This is probably a stupid question but how do you attach your microphone to your head ?

[@carlgrimeseyepatch27]

its underneath the wigs they wear i believe! and its taped or glued for extra "stay" lack of better words :P

[@Lauradomenechvila]

They use 2 caps made of a materiel similar to tights that fix de microphone to their heads and makes easier to put on the wigs too, plus some bobby-pins to make sure the microphone doesn't falls off. They show it in some videos btw :)

[@kristingreve9787]

Show the Matilda's more!

[@chantellemall1607]

There nt aloud 2

[@mollymac2519]

+Chantelle Mall why

[@PianoDisneygal10]

@@mollymac2519 probably like child protection laws or something

[@estherrosi-kessel5192]

Omg when she entered the “kids lair” the girl with her eyes covered is wearing the backpack I have... I got it when I was in 3rd grade (it’s really old) and Matilda came out when I was in 3rd grade so I guess that makes sense

[@elliotscasual2459]

[@broadwayfan7405]

Why is Lesli not allowed to show the kids????

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Probably like some law or something about protecting kids online

[@paulkempson3956]
