When I was a kid, I used to watch Matilda the movie whenever I was sick or would put it on just for fun. The idea that this show has been on the West End for as long as it has it kinda crazy. Being that most of the cast are kids or teen actors, it is wild to see what they are able to do at their age. This is definitely a family-friendly show and provides a great story that most families would enjoy. I was not really deeply involved in theatre till my teenage years, so the fact that some of these kids are going out and doing the thing makes me excited for them. I also think it is so cool because theatre is much different from film. Rather than getting multiple shots, they have one shot every night to go out, sing, dance, and act in front of an audience. I wonder what the environment is like before a show or in the rehearsal room with the primary cast being so young and gaining this experience so early in their career.
