'Matilda' is perhaps the best children's book never written. It's not data, it's an opinion, of course, but there is everything that a different child wants to read. A praise of what is different, emblematic episodes, a more or less happy ending and a moral as beautiful as it is unusual: it doesn't matter if you haven't found your place in the world, Don't stop being yourself and one day you will find it. And you will be happy.
Sometimes you have to be a little naughty
So far, there hasn't been an adaptation of "Matilda" that isn't absolutely iconic: the Danny DeVito-directed movie, the musical with songs by Tim Minchin, and now, if you have any chance, the film for which Minchin created new songs and which presents its first trailer to warm up the engines. We won't be able to see it before December 2, 2022 on Netflix, but seeing Emma Thompson as Trunchbull has already put smiles on many of our faces.
'Matilda: The Musical' is led by the same person who brought it to life in its original portrayal, Matthew Warchus, who assured that this is an adaptation to match. We'll see what happens, because Netflix hasn't had much luck with musicals so far (remember that 'The Ball').
The first thing we learned about 'Matilda: The Musical' it was embarrassing. Of course, more than a production like this deserves: Ralph Fiennes was going to play the Trunchbull, but the replacement was soon announced by an unrecognizable Emma Thompson, who will be accompanied by Lashana Lynch (María Rambeau in the MCU) and in which Alisha Weir, a 12-year-old girl, will bear all the responsibility for the success or failure of the film. From what we saw in this trailer, looks like the first.
Personally, I was able to see the original musical on Broadway and it's definitely worth it: it knows how to combine the humor of Tim Minchin with the bittersweet touches of the original story by Roald Dahl while remaining a faithful adaptation. Those who want to discover it before its premiere in Streaming are lucky: the play translated into Spanish will begin to be performed in Madrid from September 30. A word of advice: if you can, don't miss it. Sometimes you have to be a little naughty.
