Trouble at Matilda Tour in Seattle — Page 2

I won't let them ruin this amazing piece of art and set a bad standard for when people come to see the mindblowing Broadway production. Just cancel it! People pay way too much money for them to be having technical difficulties months into the tour. This whole situation is messy and I heard the cast is weak and some leads mediocre at best. Shame on this tour"

How do you know fishermanbob is old? How do you even know his age?  Its not like its a photo of him. Even if is in any case you do not need to be so rude

I love when petulant 15 year olds act out.

I love when the eldery find their way onto the internet

This reminds me of the tour of Master Class starring Faye Dunaway.  Opening night in each city was delayed by 60-90 minutes and there was nothing wrong with the set or tech.  It was the star that was the problem.  I left at intermission.  Her performance wasn't worth waiting for.  Luckily, I had a comp and didn't waste my money.  But boy, the audience was FUMING.

Some of you mentioned that the tour had problems in LA. What happened there?

Yo. Zell. Keep on stalking the 10-year-old you love so much. 

You're one to talk... A grown man (or woman) being obsessed with a child actor??? I mean, come on. 

Taz. I believe the poster is a grown man or woman (or at least old enough to be considered one...) but the "Zell" in question is actually a child actor, who has apparently become the target of obsession by said poster. So creepy. 

Anyhoo, I hope they get all the kinks worked out.

It's a fantastic show.

What a disaster! Apparently, there are still sound issues

Really?  I'd be surprised if most people DID realize each touring show has their own sound team.  It's not what the average theater goer thinks about. 

Oh, please, Zell has been a brat since he first showed up. 

I'm not sure why it's a problem for adults (AKA  "the elderly) to use a discussion board or the internet. Only the young can waste their time online? 

The 5th Avenue has had problems with their sound for years and years. It's hard to tell if it is indeed Matilda or the 5th itself.  The majority of their productions now are self-produced, with 1 or 2 tours thrown in, I've seen many, many shows there and the sound is often on the loud side and can lack clarity, 

I second the comment that 5th Avenue has had sound problems for years.  The inaudibility of the Matilda tour was very serious (we saw walkouts and heard lots of audience grumbling), but we found it no worse than normal for that theatre, sadly.
