Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical (2022): ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was fun. While the songs weren’t such that I’m going to want the soundtrack, I really did enjoy the creativity of a lot of the lyrics. And somehow I hadn’t realized that Emma Thompson was in this (and made a marvelous Ms. Trunchbull).
Must admit, though — I actually think that the choreography for Revolting Children works better for this parody video than with the original music.
