Ever wondered how the lyrical genius behind Matilda the Musical, Tim Minchin, crafted such clever, mesmerizing wordplay? Well, let's take a journey together deep into the heart of this award-winning production, discovering the magic woven into the lyrics of songs like 'Miracle', 'Naughty' and 'School Song'. We'll decode references, delve into vocabulary as strange as 'O'diferousness' and debunk common misconceptions, all while celebrating the modern marvel that is Matilda.
Tim and Lj share some personal memories tied to this fascinating musical. They've had the honour of incorporating Matilda into stage school shows and even choreographed a performance featuring four spirited Matildas!
We'll analyze Tim Minchin's songwriting even more, particularly his quiet moments that add depth to characters and storylines. We'll explore why 'Magical' was replaced with 'Quiet', and how this change impacted young actresses playing Matilda. We'll discuss the dreaded Trunchbull and how this villain was adapted for film. Lastly, we'll applaud the extraordinary achievement of Alicia, a Dublin girl who brought Matilda to life, and reflect on the impact of Minchin's lyrics on the success of this timeless musical.
