I just saw Matilda the musical on Broadway this weekend. It was AMAZING!!!
Set design and choreography was just brilliant! And of course the acting and singing was spectacular!
Here are some of my favorite lines/parts from the show:
****favorite line****
MISS TRUNCHBULL-
He should have thought of that before he made a pact with Satan and decided to steal my cake!
" 'Cause if you're little, you can do a lot. You
Mustn't let a little thing like "little" stop you.
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Won't change a thing.
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
You might as well be saying you think that it's okay,
And that's not right.
And if it's not right,
You have to put it right,
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me.
Nobody but me is gonna change my story.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty!"
*favorite use of set+choreography *
And so you think you're A-ble
To survive this mess by Being a prince or a princess.
You will soon (C) see there's no escaping trageDy.
And Even if you put in heaps of eFfort,
You're just wasting enerGy,
'Cause your life as you know it is "aitcH"-ent history.
I have suffered in this Jail,
I've been trapped inside this (K) cage for ages,
This living 'eLl.
But if I try I can remeMber,
Back before my life had eNded,
Before my happy days were Over,
Before I first heard the Pealing of the bell.
Like you, I was (Q) curious,
So innocent I (R) asked a thousand questions,
But unleSs you want to suffer, listen up
And I will Teach you a thing or two.
YoU listen here, my dear,
You'll be punished so seVerely if you step out of line.
And if you cry it will be (W) double.
You should stay out of trouble,
And remember to be eXtremely careful.
