Current Matilda leads

Forgive me, but I'm having no luck with the search function here. I saw a thread about Craig Bierko taking over in Matilda and how bad it was, but I'm unsure if he's still with it or who is. I've noted that the show is now frequently at TKTS at half price, and wondering if I should grab a seat or not. Will something better happen to the role in the near future, or is he really worth seeing?

I saw Craig yesterday and I thought he was really fine. The audience loved him, the usher next to me was cracking up watching him. He is comfortable in the role at this point and he has made the role his own, without trying to copy the original. There are still some accommodations made with his injury -someone else still does the spinning of the pigtail scene..but I think he is doing most everything else.

And Jill as Ms. Honey is just perfect.

If you want to see Matilda, I certainly wouldn't let the new leads stop you.
