Matilda NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if You like musicals that have children in it. Children getting even! Bring your children

Don't see it if If you don't like shows having children in it

See it if You enjoy high-energy material that is able to blend seemingly contrasting tones well (childish/imaginative and adult/dark).

Don't see it if You don't want to see the above, a cliched ending, or an occasionally confusing narrative.

See it if you loved the story by Roald Dahl and appreciate the effort it took to make it come alive...and if you love a great song to swing to!

Don't see it if you have trouble with understanding the British accent and will let that get in the way of enjoying it.

See it if You are looking for a good musical for the family, something humerous and fun

Don't see it if You don't like children (both the cast and audience are full of them), if you aren't a Roald Dahl fan

See it if you want some light-hearted fun and great numbers with the youth cast.

Don't see it if you're expecting the "non-kid" bits to hold up. Whenever one of the adult actors is featured in a number, the energy grinds to a halt.

See it if You like Roald Dahl and watching talented kids.

Don't see it if You are impatient with kids (on stage and in audience), have difficulty following British accents.

See it if You love excellent singing and acting!

Don't see it if Children in musicals aren't your thing!

See it if You enjoyed the children's book and catch the actor who plays Miss Trunchbull

Don't see it if You have small children. Strobe lighting is used in the production and may scare them
