MATILDA THE MUSICAL
I knew nothing about this play or the central theme until I read the synopsis in the Playbill. This production was very disappointing because it was almost impossible to understand the dialogue and lyrics given the staged British accents. Thus, I feel I wasted my time and money. We decided not to leave at intermission for the sake of the young actors (and because I didn't know the ending), but shortly into the second act, there was a medical emergency which stopped the play. We decided there was no reason to stick around since we weren't really enjoying the production. The staging is excellent, and the young actors are truly talented. It was just the fake accents that kept us from understanding what was going on. If you know the story well, you might be ok with the dialogue/lyrics. If you don't know the story, just be warned. You might have the same reaction we did.
