As a huge fan of the stage production, I've seen Matilda the musical in London a few times. I was so excited to hear that the musical was going to get a film adaptation. And I'm very glad that this one works! Unlike the Dear Evan Hansen and Cats movie for example. This film is so beautifully cast, everyone fits their role perfectly. Emma Thompson is wonderful in everything! Playing Miss Trunchbull is no exception.
2 songs from the stage version didn't make the cut here which is a shame but at a 2hour run time, I think the film would have become too long to include them. Hopefully they will be released online or as a dvd/blu ray special feature at some point.
Matilda the musical is full of fun, heart and incredible music and lyrics by Tim Minchin. If you love the original 1996 movie of Matilda, then definitely give this a chance. If you're new to seeing this, then I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did.
