Across the board the cast was top flight and the production very professional. Definitely Broadway caliber. Only criticism is of the sound quality at the Theater. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful structure and comfortable with what appear to be great sightlines throughout. But, during this show it was difficulkt at times (esp. before the intermission) to clearly hear the cast and understand what they were saying/singing. I have to attirbute that more to the acoustics then to the cast.

I just wish the Bay Area run of the show was longer with more dates so I could've seen Matilda the Musical twice! The entire cast was incredible but the talent of the child actors exceeded expectations!

This is the best show I have seen in a long time. It was a nice mixture of music and comedy. The children were very professional and i enjoyed watching them throughout the whole performance. The adults were cast well too. all in all I had the best time on Sunday afternoon seeing Matilda at the Shubert in New Haven.

With a focus on negative behavior for children and by their main caretaker (the headmistress), this is not a play most children would enjoy or should even see. Some youngsters left the play in disgust and that was totally understandable.

This was one of the worst plays my daughter and I have ever attended. I would not advise anyone going to bring children under 15 years old. I'm afraid children younger than that will become afraid to attend school . This play I believed showed parental abuse, educational abuse and total emotional abuse.

We were disappointed in not being able to decipher what the children were saying when they sang, the songs were good but we did not know what they were saying. This play is definitely geared to children and there were many attending, so I would recommend anyone with children seeing it. I saw quite a few people leaving during intermission, and they were elderly and without children with them. We also left during intermission, but only because of not hearing a lot of the words. I thought the cast was fantastic and the children very talented and vibrant. A great cast.

My husband and I enjoyed this play: the music, the actors, the singers, and the children were all endearing and fun. I definitely recommend it. Since we were not familiar with the music, we missed a lot of the lyrics. I recommend becoming familiar with the score first before you see it.

The show is very entertaining and the music and actors, very good. The young girl(s) who play Matilda are beyond talented and soooo young to have those lungs on them! Sound at the Shubert can always be louder so those up top can hear clearly, especially when trying to listen to British accents.

We pretty much watched the entire show with huge smiles on our faces. So well-done! If you can possibly get to this show when it comes through your neighborhood, do it! So worth it, especially if you have youngsters, boys OR girls, who have an interest in theatre! Such positive messages too, like standing up for yourself and others when bullied, finding strength and confidence within yourself...I could go on and on. LOVED IT!

PassOnMatilda

I loved the movie and was so excited when the play came out. I eagerly purchased ticket during my Boston vacation and expected Matilda to be the highlight of my trip. Boy was I wrong! The first half was terrible making me want to leave during intermission but fortunately I toughed it out and stayed for the second half praying and hoping it would somehow get better. Luckily it did have a few good scenes in the 2nd half but not enough to recommend someone else to go see it. The girl who played Matilda was very good as well as the guy who played Ms. Trunchbull. Besides that there wasn't much to recommend. The children kept singing the same annoying songs throughout the entire show. The "funny parts" we're not very funny. The best part of the show is when the fat kid dances and confetti falls from the ceiling. Besides that it was not very impressive. Made for children so if you have kids go. If you are an adult with no children please save your money!

My 2 granddaughters have repeatedly enjoyed this movie over the years so I did not hesitate to get our tickets pre sale. Just entering the Boston Opera House literally set the stage for the special event. The sets were awesome,esp loved the classroom scenes and the swings.Miss Trunchbull instilled fear true to the movie. Quite a "vision " she was ! Portrayal of Matilda's parents was equally on point. Of course Miss Honey was sweet as can bee (pun intended) and Matilda stole the show.The music was all new to us but was fun .At times it was difficult to make out the words in the songs but there was a screen with lit up subtitles that was hugely helpful.Overall this was a delightful production with quality cast and set.

This show was unbelievably good. We already love Tim Minchin's music; his first musical was nothing short of outstanding. There's a reason why this show is winning tons of awards and has such staying power - the music, lyrics, direction, dialogue, lighting, costuming, sets, choreography, and performers all come together in one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I feel like this musical is so underrated here in the states. Go see it wherever you can!

Amazing talent and set. We enjoyed it but were frustrated that the set blocked our view of several things that happened stage left because we were sitting on the side! It wasn't the theater but the set that blocked our view. We think ditto for the other side too. Otherwise, beautiful!

We had never heard of the musical, saw it had acclaim, tried even listening to the songs beforehand and didn't quite like it, but decided to give it a shot anyways since we loved the movie so much (we did know it was based on a book, just had never read it). This. Was. AMAZING. Officially one of our favorite musicals we have ever seen (and we've seen a few). :) AND - we absolutely ADORE the soundtrack. Only thing that always kills me about musicals is if you like the cast you saw more than the soundtrack, you cannot hear them again as they don't sell recordings of the night, which really sucks :(

I went in with high expectations and it did not disappoint. The children were outstanding. I admit i was expecting more special effects considering how the book was but overall thought it was a really good show.

Wonderful song and dance of school children and adults. A timely message: empowerment over bullying and parental neglect. Sets are lively and colorful as you would find in a school room! Loved Dan Chameroy as the comical Mrs. Trunchbull. Great entertainment for all!

The only thing I did not like was on second part of play. The word "Stupid" was said to many times. I felt that was inappropriate for my special needs child to hear and/or other children.

The children were extremely adept at singing, as well as the physical demands of the production. The choreography was superb, along with a few special effect surprises. I felt as if I was on Broadway, with a great seat at that! Everyone on stage was a true professional, and my 15-year-old daughter loved it.

This was my very first show, my daughter saw it on broadway and wanted me to see it. I was so glad I went half way into the second song- I was already trying to decide if I could bring my other kids back before it closed. Great cast!

We did not care for the show. The music was unmemorable, the dialogue harsher than the movie and considerably less funny. Matilda's powers did not manifest effectively, and there were not many special affects, though plenty of strobe lights. The young lady who played the lead was very, very good (alternating leads depending on the performance) esp given what she had to work with, the adult performers were fair at best.

A friend recommended Matilda to me. I was reluctant to see it, because I thought it was a typical children's show with silly comedy (I don't have children). However, I changed my mind when my friend described it briefly to me. It really was so much more than I expected. It's such a great story with lots of twists and turns. It was tender, sad, funny and beautiful. I highly recommend it -- even if you don't have children.

Although my family loved it, apart from thinking that the theatre was toooo cold, my grandson thought that Matilda did not project her voice that well, and questioned the audio. Just saying.

The players were hard to understand. The level of verbal child abuse became extremely uncomfortable. Didn't hold my attention. My two older children (22 and 26), both of whom love musicals like I do, were also disappointed.

I think the show was amazing it had plenty of funny moments even though the first part of it felt slow. Me and my wife did feel bad for a elderly couple that was with us in our box seats. They asked us if we could understand what the actors and actresses were saying. During the intermission I figured I'd see if what they were saying was accurate but unfortunately the older couple never came back they looked frustrated. The characters seemed to use a abnormally high pitched voice and when it's projected into the theater with its acoustics and speakers it almost is always lost. We enjoyed the second half like I said the first half was whatever.

Great show and worth taking your children.only drawback at Broward Performing Arts Center coming from Miami was that A1A was traffic stopped and I had to turnaround and go to I 95, reduced to three lanes form Hallandale Beach and exit ramp on Broward Blvd,reduced to one lane. I left 1 1/2 hours ahead and it took two hours to make it to the theater. I missed the opening of the play which was really sad. Discourages one from attending performances at that theater.

I took my mother and two daughters to Matilda on Thursday night. The show was really visually fun and entertaining. I thought, at times, it was difficult to understand what they were saying and singing. I'm not sure if this was due to the acoustics or the fast paced lyrics. The last song of Revolting Children was really tough to understand. The children were really great, however, and we overall enjoyed the show.

Maybe I just caught the cast on a bad night, but they seem to just phone in the performances... clearly the kids are very talented... but the entire cast has to deliver the goods every night... that s what Broadway stars do!
