The girls all look too old. Bring back the 8,9 and 10 year olds that they used to cast.

[@zoefoster2106]

These girls were all cast pre-pandemic two of them were due to start the week we went into lockdown. A lot of the cast are older than they usually would be. But it would be unfair for these girls not to get a run after rehearsing so hard. It’s likely when the cast is changed in March time they will go back to the 8-10 year olds playing the role but for now these girls are doing a fantastic job

[@blueboo773]

They are all within the age rage, you must be 8-14

[@sexydudeuk2172]

Well they are young enough to playbher besides at that age they have more experience in acting then younger ones

@@zoefoster2106 oh, so when they were all cast, they were the correct heights. nice that they still get to do the role for a bit

A) why are the Matildas all so old she’s supposed to be like six years old not almost a teenager B) Why am I not surprised there is a non white matilda more box ticking no offence to the little girl nothing to do with her personally

[@chloeperdrix8867]

They were probably younger when they cast them but there was obviously a pandemic. The age range for the role (as the website says) 8-12years the old and must be under 4”2. As long as they are fitting those requirements, they would cast them

@@chloeperdrix8867 but that is still too old Matilda is supposed to be 6 not between 8 and 12

[@chloeperdrix8867]

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 they can’t cast 6 year old in the role though. The role is too demanding for a 6 year old. Not to mention that they need to be a triple threat, they just wouldn’t be able to cast enough girls to keep the show running

@@chloeperdrix8867 rubbish the lion king cast 7 year olds even that’s better than a damn twelve year old whose way to tall and bu,it in the chest area to pass for a damn six year old
