I actually went again and saw Rileigh on Sunday. I thought she did a perfectly respectable job (and she cried at the end because it was the last show for four of the lead adult actors)."

Both my kids and myself absolutely loved it!  (And my husband liked it).  Thank you for asking, and thank you for all who suggested Matilda. It certainly was a great choice,  It's coming to Toronto (where we live) next summer and we'll be seeing it again...but I know nothing beats Broadway.

I was worried about not understanding the accents, but had no issue at all.

Which 4 actors left?  I know it was Lesli and Miss Honey's last day (I forget the actress real name)...so which other two?

"

It was Alison Luff (Miss Honey), Karen Aldridge (Mrs. Phelps), and Matt Harrington (Mr. Wormwood) along with Lesli.

Regardless of her age, I do think that Rileigh is one of the girls that has great clarity of speech and she is easily up there with some of the easiest Matildas to understand."

Fina was the first(and second) Matilda I saw and I thought she was excellent. 

Rileigh is definitely easier to understand as was Fina. Alexandra was not that easy to understand plus she forgot her words throughout the show.
