And it's really dumb to post something that says a show is losing steam faster than any show you have ever seen on a website that post it's weekly revenues.
By your standards The Book of Mormon should close it's doors by September.
The more I see Broadway shows the more I believe that doing one's homework is a must. Yes, Matilda is very difficult to follow. I learned the music before seeing it. Very helpful and rewarding. That frees my poor little brain to enjoy and find the nuance rather than fight to figure out what is going on. Turned out to be one of my favorite shows. and bertie carvel is wonderful. I was surprised how much better My House was on stage. Lauren Ward, what a beautiful voice!
And, imho, Matilda is not for kids. It is too scary. they don't get the extreme humor. Maybe age 10 or older is appropriate. The kids around me were not laughing, their eyes were glued to the stage but I would be surprised if they were actually following well. Dahl's books aren't really for young kids either. wait till they are old enough to get it.
