Many of the children in the cast of Matilda performed for their last time tonight
Does anybody know who the new replacements are?

Yes, Frenie, Jack, Judah, Erica, and Emma left. Jared is also leaving sometime this month.
Mitchell Sink and Alexa Niziak are joining the cast this week. I am not sure who else is replacing the kids who left (leaving).

Is Analise Scarpasi still there as a swing?
^^ If I am not mistaken, it's Jonah Halperin.

Posted: 3/3/14 at 11:53amMy question is, "Can any of them be understood?" It was rumored that with the child cast changes they might work on the clarity issue that plagues this show.

That's pretty funny because on my way to If/Then this afternoon, I walked by Matilda and looked at the cast board as I usually do. They had the performers still listed for last night.
There was one odd posting. After the regular listing at top, it read that Analise played "Alice" I think. But then at the bottom, where they list the "at this performance.." it said that last night, Sergei was portrayed by Analise Scarpasi...LOLOL
I was thinking..hmmm..they must have been really hard up for guy cast members last night if the head of the Russian Mafia was being portrayed by a 12 year old girl. Was that a mistake or a joke or what??

Posted: 3/9/14 at 9:39amAnalise is definitely still a swing and should definitely NOT be playing Sergei! Hahaha

Posted: 3/9/14 at 9:00pmThe new kids are all wonderful, and SO unbelievably talented. Grace Capeless is an exceptional Lavender. Annalise was on as Hortensia the other night for Ava, so Ava is still in the show.
