From
New York City to London, going to the theater is always a pleasurable
experience for any avid theatergoer. Adam Green, the author of the article “Stage
Notes: Matilda on Broadway and Tales
from London’s West End”, shares his
experience from his five-day theater going trip to London. Beginning with the
play Matilda, Green shares with his
readers a brief summary of the play and his perspective on the atmosphere in
the theater as well. Describing the play as “boisterous” and “ buoyant” is only
the start of Green’s praise towards this wonderful musical. He goes on by
eulogizing the cast for their spectacular performance. As his trip continued,
Green attended many more theatrical performances including Peter and Alice, Untold
Stories, and Macbeth; all of which
he seemed to have theroly enjoyed.
Green’s
purpose in writing this article was to share the new experiences from his trip
and the experiences from the plays he attended. This article is perfect for
anyone interested in seeing the play Matilda or any theater enthusiastic. Green
uses an uplifting and eager tone and insider information makes his article a
pleasurable read for all. Green described the main actress’s (Oona Laurence)
performance as follows: “She sings and dances
up a storm without a trace of how-do-you-like-me-now kiddie-performer treacle,
and she breaks your heart without asking for sympathy”. This gives his readers
a glimpse into the performance and intrigues them to go and see this talented
little girl successfully execute the classic role of Matilda.
Being
a complete Broadway nerd, I obviously loved reading this article! Not only did
Green make me want to hop on the next train to New York to see Matilda, he also
had he online further researching the plays. He incorporated his theatrical
knowledge faultlessly and left me wanting to hear more!

I have been singing Matilda songs around the house ever since I read this
