MATILDA

Last night I had the pleasure to see this British import-DELIGHTFUL. A good story about a young girl, 5, who reads, and her dysfunctional conniving family, and the school she gets sent way to attend. The cast is so talented, with Matilda and the headmistress, actually a male, stealing the show. The cast's high energy level for the athletic dance numbers is amazing. The children's big numbers-you have to listen carefully as the British accents need concentration to decipher. Eventually, your ear somehow improves as the show goes forward.The sets and lighting are super too.

I was seated just behind Neil Simon and just want to report that our section unanimously gave it a thumbs up and Matilda earned her standing ovation!

Get tickets ASAP, this show is a winner.

Thank you for your enthusiastic review. My daughter wants to see this and I was hoping it was great.

Amy, it sounds delightful. Jeanette - enjoy! The original story by Roald Dahl was wonderful too.

I saw so much of me in the story. The girl child with a love of reading.
