Here right now waiting for the show to begin. If someone posts how to upload a pic from an iPhone, I will do so. And for anyone interested, Oona Laurence is playing Matilda

Yes, go ahead and break the law and snap away.

I have no intentions of taking ANY other pictures. And trust me, others are out with iPads and cameras. I am not saying I am following others, but it is the world we live in today. I would NEVER take a pic or anything else during the show.

Are any of the Matilda's from the west end?

Sorry if that's an FAQ.... I didn't see that info.

All the Matildas are US actresses.

The only two from the London production who have come over are Bertie Carvel (Miss Trunchbull) and Lauren Ward (Miss Honey). Lesli Margherita (Mrs. Wormwood) is making her Broadway debut after several major roles in the West End, but has not played Mrs. Wormwood before.

Actually no pics of ANY kind are allowed to be taken at any time inside the theater unless the production allows it. It is against the law to use cameras of any kind inside a theater.

They really transformed that whole theatre! Hope the desks still rise out of the deck! And taking out/rearranging the front orchestra...lots of work!

I know people love taking pictures of the show curtains.....but a word of warning......

I was at a show recently and some guy took out his phone before it started and snapped a picture of the stage. Almost instantly, an usher swooped and gave him two options: A) delete the photo in front of her, or B) leave the theatre immediately.

Naturally, he chose option A.

The producers probably actually love the attention, but it's still illegal, so proceed with caution.

^Please. Matt Doyle just tweeted a picture of the playbill and stage. It's only illegal if you get caught.

Incorrect. It's still illegal, but I would be lying if I said I did not love that picture and wish I was there.

Wow, the stage looks fantastic.

I'm so tempted to try to get a discounted ticket for this soon since it seems they aren't implementing rush until after opening, I desperately want to see this show.

Any merchandise yet? Especially curious about posters. Thanks!

I would say buy your ticket soon. The discount code on Broadway Box (which is the only one I've seen, though there may be others out there) says they had to be purchased by March 3. Some people have reported that it is still working, but you never know when that might stop.

Being an actor, Matt Doyle should know better.

The set looks a bit bigger compared to the one in London but I assume that's because the Shubert has a larger stage compared to the Cambridge Theatre.

This is nothing compared to the shower picture.
