Matilda the Musical on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

[@oonahekking]

Ok, but Trunchbull on a scooter is the best thing I have seen in a long long time.

[@jessicarechani875]

I saw the show years ago and let me say… the kids are so freaking talented!

man does this bring back memories…matilda the musical was the first broadway show i ever watched, and the movie adaptation has got me feeling nostalgic 😭 i still remember that sense of awe i got from watching it as a child

[@WeeKezza100]

The ensemble cast are bloody brilliant !!!! So talented with their performance acting dancing AND singing

[@juleselizaaaa]

I wish this show was still on Broadway! So glad I got to see this!

Must have been quite the experience

After watching the Netflix movie on this musical, I now wish I got to see it in person

@@ryanstauffer119 So do I

[@ryanstauffer119]

@@manuelorozco7760 I did want to see the musical though. My mom asked she wanted to buy tickets to see it since she found out it was coming to town. I thought she would be bored with it so I decided not to because I didn’t want her to sit through something she would probably not like. However, with the Netflix movie, I offered it for her since we had nothing else to watch. We were not really into the first song and we almost stopped watching. But we continued and we ended up liking it by the end. The ending actually made me cry. This musical was better than I thought it would be.

[@manuelorozco7760]

@@ryanstauffer119 I thought about my mom too when the national tour came near me. So I saw Rent with her instead she liked it a bit more than I did. Then I saw the movie by myself

[@manuelorozco7760]

I’m here from the Netflix movie trailer. I never got to see Matilda on stage but the new take will be the remedy for me. And these kids must have been having a ball

[@veldkampmotorsports2k205]

Memories. I saw this in Chicago. Oh my word. It was fantastic. My favorite character is mrs trunchbull. She was funny.

[@autum8560]

Omygod this cast is absolutely amazing i wish i was there to watch them live!

[@GleekOff]

You can tell how cold it is they're jumping around in the back. Poor kids

[@enigma1326]

Not to mention that "Revolting Children" is a high energy song and the adults who play the older kids have that backwards skipping motion so jumping helps get the adrenaline pumping.

[@jaydenhunter648]

They are supposed to

[@mnshdw8896]

They are adults shaking in the background and they were warming up I think

[@ju2545]

Or maybe they were jumping to the music

Are they doing british accents? Because the accents are goood!

[@ROyler-rs6nh]

yes, the show was originally made in England as a West End production and they maintained the accents when it came to Broaday

[@rileyswims9157]

Yeah most of the people came from NY

[@marydewar56]

There is no such thing as a “British Accent” , you mean a English Accent

[@rileyswims9157]

Mkd xo there is such thing as a British accent. Are you British? Because then you might not think so. A British accent is the most well known accent in the world

[@siobhankilsby9258]

No, they're right. Britain is England, wales, and Scotland, which obviously all have very different accents. There isn't one singular 'British accent', and even if you're only looking at England itself, the accents vary so widely. So someone from the midlands, like me, would have a very different accent to someone from Yorkshire or London. The actors of Matilda tend to have what is considered the 'stereotypical' English accent, likely due to the fact that no one actually knows where Roald Dahl meant for Matilda to be set, so the more 'posh', well known accent was chosen. But, yeah, there's definitely no such thing as a British accent. :)

There is double the kids cast in this. Does anyone know if that’s the understudies plus the lead cast or if it’s two sets of child casts?

I can’t be sure, but I think it’s two sets of casts (I’m not sure though)

[@miachc2778]

It’s one set of kids plus 4 kids standbys/swings and 2 adult swings

[@brookiebulletjournal1295]

they have 4 matilda leads which roatate for each show. since they are younge they cant do everyshow.

[@BubbaMaraj7241]

Yes I believe there's 4 total kid swings (2 boys and 2 girls) that each cover 2 of the other child ensemble roles in the show. and there are also 2 adult swings who learn some of the parts too. In one of Lesli's (Plays Mrs. Wormwood) vlogs she shows one of the adult swings and they show her getting ready to go on for one of the kid roles.

Why do they have Essex accents😂😂😂

[@madeleine_marie3254]

They practice them, most of them are American.

[@92positivelyemerald]

The musical was originally produced on the west end in London and when it moved to Broadway they kept the accents since there are references to British things within the show.
