[@coryzlife]

I just auditioned for a regional theater production of Matilda! The set was just beautiful, cause they had a little of it there and the piano player was awesome. Cant wait for the cast list!

[@anthonyandino6069]

I've just been cast into my very first musical theater performance! I'm very excited to begin the process of rehearsals and performances as this is my first time ever doing a show and performing. Hope you had fun on Matilda!

[@TheJuliaMarley]

Break a leg!

[@maya.xoxo.]

in my theatre classes we have a tech rehearsal, a dress rehearsal, and then the actual performance!! I hope I can start to level up (if that makes sense) to a more professional theatre company:) you’re an inspiration!!

[@nayleenable]

I saw a play about this last night.

[@jessicasmith1156]

I recognize your lavender and Amanda where they in any other shows? Also is this a professional production? Is there a recording I could find?

[@TheJuliaMarley]

Yes, this is a professional production! No recording unfortunately :((

[@caitlinhope6745]

This show looks UNREAL!!! Do you mind me asking the ages of Matilda vs Miss Honey? As it's a junior production I'm so curious to find see how they dealt with ages. Thanks

[@starlalikesbroadway3268]

In curious too

[@trinket5969]

We did it at my highschool and Matilda and miss honey (me) were only a school year apart, a sophomore and a junior lol

[@rosiegoldie4303]

Was Olivia in Annie? I saw her

[@thecrackiestcrappyhead9843]

ECK! I’m so new to theater and I’m doing Matilda aswell, any tips? ❤️

[@TheJuliaMarley]

No way!!

[@caril.9384]

How did your production deal with hammer swing, given that Amanda seems to be sticking to her natural hair rather than a wig like in most productions

[@TheApplecorped]

This was closing night and I’m so sad 😞

[@TheJuliaMarley]

post-show depression is the worst :((

[@caril.9384]

@@TheJuliaMarley bruuuh tell me about it

[@thewkovacs316]

only 9 day run? they just did a regional production here in the bay area and it ran for a month

[@Periwinkle12988]

I imagine it was nine performances over three weekends. It’s typical to have shows Friday/Saturday nights and Saturday matinees

[@rachaeljuddx]

Is this a remake of the actual musical?

[@DJ-kt5bk]

Wait what’s your role within Matilda? Just curious!

[@TheJuliaMarley]

I was a bully kid/mom in the ensemble! :)

[@gameznvlogs3790]

What’s a tech rehearsal? I’m kind of new to theater so I don’t know

[@TheJuliaMarley]

A tech rehearsal is when the cast rehearses in the theatre and adds the technical elements: lighting, sound... and usually props, costumes, hair, makeup, etc!
