Matilda the Musical

Alisha Weir plays our telekinetic protagonist and portrays the character perfectly. In a cast full of veteran actors, the little star shines brightly. I hope ...

Give it a watch if you are reminiscing about the 1996 movie and Miss Honey. As for the comparison with 2010 musical that had even a spot at Broadway, it doesn’t hit the sort of magical realism it was imbibed with, even with the same director helming this Netflix project. The one serious drawback of the movie is that it doesn't really delve into the depth of the darkness that permeated Dahl’s novel. I especially loved the “When I Grow Up” number that illustrates Matilda growing up and encountering a world that can be cruel but also kind. The musical numbers are delightful and easy to watch as well as croon along. What I can say though is that as the first of the many films that will surely arrive on Netflix as part of the streaming service’s overall contract with the Roald Dahl Story Company, Matilda is a great start.

Director Matthew Warchus is synonymous with excellent writing and heartwarming storytelling, and his new film titled Matilda the Musical is yet another ...

With a spectacular soundtrack and mesmerizing performances, Matilda the Musical is a memorable watch for fans of fantasy and musicals. Matilda the Musical is an easy watch. Matilda the Musical is a prime example of amazing composition and choreography with stellar acting and just the right amount of prosthetics and special effects. On the surface, the institution is a school, but the heartless Agatha Trunchbull's reign has turned it into a prison. She makes amazing friends and meets the kindhearted Jennifer Honey, who recognizes her potential and helps her throughout the film. Matilda is a talented child living with her unsupportive family, who mostly treats her like an afterthought.

Meesha Garbett as Hortensia: a girl from Crunchem Hall Primary School who befriends Matilda and Lavender. Matilda the Musical is Charlie Hodson-Prior’s first acting role. Charlie Hodson-Prior as Bruce Bogtrotter: a kid from Crunchem Hall Primary School who made the big mistake of eating Mrs. Miss Trunchbull is a tyrannical woman known for her cruel discipline methods that put the lives of the students at risk, so it’s not surprising that all the kids at Crunchem Hall (and the teachers as well) fear her, to the point where they don’t do anything remotely childish near her. Matilda the Musical is Winter Jarrett Glasspool’s first acting role. Although she works at Crunchem Hall, Miss Honey doesn’t share Miss Trunchbull’s cruel methods and mentality and she’s actually the exact opposite, becoming a safe space for her young students, especially for Matilda, with whom she quickly bonds. Matilda The Musical stars new actors as well as some very well-known faces, and here’s who plays who in this musical adventure and where you’ve seen them before. Because of this, Matilda learned to look after herself from a young age, and her parents are unaware that their daughter is a genius.

[joining the list is Netflix’s Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical](https://screenrant.com/netflix-new-tv-shows-movies-december-23/), which contrary to what many might believe, isn’t a remake of DeVito’s movie, instead being the film adaptation of the musical. Roald Dahl’s novels have become classics of children’s literature, and one of his most popular works is the 1988 novel Matilda. [Netflix](https://screenrant.com/tag/netflix/) right on time for Christmas is [Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical](https://screenrant.com/tag/matilda-the-musical/), a different take on Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s novel, and here’s who plays who in this new version.

The message of Matilda the Musical is a good one. Matilda the Musical is a movie for the entire family that will leave you singing and dancing. Amy Amatangelo, the TV Gal®, is a Boston-based freelance writer and a member of the Television Critics Association. I’m guessing it’s popular because there are a lot of roles and opportunities for little voices, and the licensing rights are cheaper than a Disney production. The look of Matilda the Musical is equally gorgeous. We get a sense for Matilda’s lot in life when the musical kicks off with children singing “My mommy says I’m a miracle” and “My daddy says I’m a special little guy.” “Revolting Children,” a song that fully embraces both definitions of “revolting,” and the whimsical, dreamy longing of “When I Grow Up” are among Matilda the Musical’s many highlights. Weir is fantastic, bringing a plucky spunk and some fantastic vocals to the lead, while Thompson leaves all (and I do mean all) vanity behind as the horrific Trunchbull. Even for someone as accomplished and talented as Thompson, the range is inspiring.) Lashana Lynch is goodness personified as Matilda’s loving teacher Miss Honey; Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough are tawdry comic relief as Matilda’s awful parents. Miss Trunchbull regularly sends children to a solitary confinement contraption known as the chokey. “My son is a girl?” he asks the doctor after she’s born. Charlie’s four grandparents all live in the same bed and the kids not named Charlie are maimed, one by one, because of their bad behavior in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
