Lacks racial inclusion. Majority of the cast is white. I have yet to see any black couples . I saw the usual broadway lack of inclusion by showcasing interracial relationships, and white relationships but no inclusion of black relationships , Asian relationships etc but there are 2-3 Asian kids, and only one black kid in the film. Feels like they are trying to brainwash everyone with the lack of inclusion. Is it so hard to make things more realistic ? The show supposedly is an olden times and modern day crossover, yet you have interracial couples in this olden time, but fail to meet realities broad spectrum and inclusion of all racial relationships in modern times. I only saw 2-4 black males and 2-4 black females and they all were in interracial relationships. How do you expect people to relate if all you are showcasing is white male and white female and black female/male and white female/male relationships ?

Romanticizes sexual assault and taking advantage of minors.

Beginning scene of a naked child in the movie with cowboy boots and a belt and hat then sexualizing it made it seem as though this was a Inappropriate scene in the movie.

Really nice show but part 5 was so bad that I had to remove a star or two for the script being all over the place and a cast member randomly disappearing every other episode. Part 5 was the least interesting part of them all in my opinion.

This movie was so disgusting to me, I didn’t find it funny at all.

So good ! I prefer this over the actual series.

This musical definitely takes a creative approach toward telling Matilda’s story. However the order of the story is very confusing, it’s almost like the story is told out of order. One thing that didn’t make sense to me was two black parents having a white child in the movie which was Matilda if they switched from showing Matilda at a glimpse then the actual child it would show that this made up story was a depiction of Matilda’s life instead of further confusing the child audience watching it. Matildas parents lack personality, and make it seem like they are out to get their child rather than just being negligent parents like in the first version of Matilda. With this depiction it confuses the story because why did they even keep the child if they hate her so much? So many things don’t make sense with this musical , if they executed it in order with a proper backstory or explanation I’m sure it would’ve been even more amazing.
