| Their 1st Broadway Show! |
My girls experienced a series of firsts this past week. Their first time on a plane, to the east coast, to the big apple. It was truly a better trip than I could have ever asked for. They were given an even bigger surprise when they were at their first ever show on Broadway.
They were eyes wide open during the entire performance. The vibrant colors coming from the stage to the actors and their remarkable rendition of scenes from the movie Matilda. They have watched the movie over and over throughout the years. This show did not disappoint! From Matilda's performance to the very big Miss Trunchbull. Outstanding attention to detail. My girls were so excited to be there.
Even though the Shubert Theater is on the small side, it was perfect. There is not a bad seat in the house. We had orchestra seats and were able to see every last detail. The way the musical orchestra brought to life the drama and comedy of the scenes was perfect. My youngest usually gets startled every time she watches the movie and the scene of "The Chokey" comes on. Presented in this form she was completely focused on Miss Trunchbull, played by Christopher Sieber. Every scene was right on, with the music, props like the desks that lied flat on to the stage floor when not in use. They thought of everything. All three of us were completely taken by Matilda, from age seven to forty. We loved it!
The only downer was that we did not have space in our luggage to bring back the Matilda souvenir cups. That's ok, as I plan on looking out for some good tickets here in Los Angeles to take them again. So whether in Los Angeles or New York City, or a city near you, go check it out. Your kids will thank you!
What Broadway shows have you seen with children?
