does literally each and every Matilda performer in the history of this musical know that I admire her and am so proud of her and she’s the sunshine of the world?

dancersofny "I auditioned for the national tour of Matilda and had all these callbacks. After the second to last callback, all my friends who were there started texting me that they had gotten a callback. I thought I did a good job and they liked me, but I didn’t get a callback. On the day of the callback, I took off work and went to ballet class. After class, I was still bummed, so I said, “You know what? I am not done dancing. I was supposed to dance all day. I am going to go to a jazz class too.” After jazz class, I look at my phone, I have two missed calls, three text messages, and a voicemail from this New York number that I don’t know. I listen to the voicemail, and it’s someone from casting at Matilda. She says, “So we accidentally threw your headshot away in the no pile, but we really wanted you to be here today. Where are you?” I had no book, and I didn’t have appropriate dance clothes for the audition, but I went anyway. I was there for almost six hours, dancing, singing, and reading. A month later, it was the day they were starting rehearsals for the tour or really close to it. I was sitting on the couch. My phone rings—and it’s a New York number I don’t know, which makes your heart stop. The casting director says, “Hi, Amanda, we just want to call and let you know that casting for the tour has been completed, and that’s going to be the end of the road for you there.” In my head, I am thinking, “Duh, they start rehearsals today, and I am not there.” But I say, “Thanks for letting me know.” Then she says, “But we have an opening in our Broadway company, and we want you to join us there instead.” I could not believe what she had just said because that was never on the table as far as I knew. I didn’t know that I was even being considered for Broadway. I had no clue. I have no idea what she said after that because I was in shock. I was getting up to leave, and I couldn’t even really put on my coat. I didn’t know what was happening. I got home, and I remember sitting in my kitchen just sobbing. I was supposed to start rehearsals three days later. My entire life got flipped upside down.“

‘Even if you’re little, you can do a lot, you Mustn’t let a little thing like, ‘little’ stop you’ - Matilda the Musical My love for the story of Matilda has grown even stronger after seeing the musical ^_^

“And that’s not right!” 

I started playing with the copics I got for Christmas while listening to Matilda the Musical and got really inspired. :)

Snow globes to be given as gifts to the cast and crew of the musical – a design featuring the “Matilda Pose” – schoolgirl with hands on hips, standing on top of an open book. The pages of the book feature the quotes you see above, stamped into the pages. The globes also feature tiny little silver foil alphabet letters flying around inside.

That’s not right!

Matilda the Musical was so amazing, so glad I got to see it <3

A final curtain before farewells, The final chapter a story tells, A miracle mischiefed by a tiny mite - Who was naughty enough to put it right - Comes to a close after one last pose, The last hurrah of The Show of Shows. No more confetti or birthday cake, No more getting ready or rulers to break. No more gloo, no more dye, No more paper planes that fly, No sharks or swings, or circus rings, Or books, or blocks, or locks that ping. So long to flights and dynamite, To shiny scarves and spangly tights, To chokeys and chocolate, and newts to pour, To tellies, and tea, and “10’s” to score. Goodbye to trophies and hammer-throwers, Good bye to words and number-knowers, To ribbons and braids, to hair that frays, To parents who leave, and a teacher who stays. Farewell balloons, and ears that stretch, To Russian goons, a pitcher fetched, To a genius with a magic stare, A dance partner with a cockney air, A librarian with an island flair, And a brother splayed in an easy chair, To dollhouses, desks, and discipline, To the gym-drenched stench of rebellion. Goodbye handshakes from a new best friend, Farewell to the maggots a new friend defends, There are no more spoons or spelling tests, No more bullies left to best, No more chalk, or coats for piling, No leaping into arms while smiling, No more jumping on the bed, No more “spaseebah’s” to be said, No shelves to climb, or doors to pound, No more “each other’s” to be found. “When I Grow Up” has come of age, The time has come to turn the page, To face the quiet we’re destined to feel, Witnessing Matilda’s last cartwheel. But her revolution will continue on Long after the posters and playbills are gone, If, when you need a hero Even a little or a lot You fight with the might With which the tiny mite fought. Then, even after ‘into the distance’ she has sped, She’ll always be 'The sound of your heart in your head.’ #dosvidoodah #matildathemusical#matildabroadway #happytrails (photo: @dkabramson, upon my final bow)
