If you still have a gloomy taste in your mouth from The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em>, then here’s the perfect antidote: Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We had recently been discussing Jane Eyre<\/em> here, and I couldn’t get Jane Eyre<\/em> out of my mind as I watched this. But Jane Eyre<\/em>, of course, is not exactly a musical, whereas Matilda<\/em> will probably become a classic. It’s a romp, with superb performances, excellent music, and brilliant singing and dancing. How does Britain produce so many talented children? Emma Thompson is so scary that I actually wonder if Matilda<\/em> should have a PG rating.<\/p>\n

Matilda<\/em> can be streamed on Netflix. <\/p>\n
