    From Mamma Mia! to Les Misérables: A Look at Box-Office Grosses for Recent Movie Musicals. This month, there are two new movie musicals currently in theatres: Wonka and The Color Purple. And, they're both performing extremely well. The film version of Broadway's The Color Purple is currently exceeding expectations in its first week at the box office—$29 million and counting since its release on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, Wonka (released December 15) has just passed $100 million domestically, and…

    366. Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical Doesn't really hold a candle to the original film in my eyes in any way really, but that doesn't undermine it at all. I was shocked at how well the kids preform its really impressive.

    Second movie of the evening was #RoaldDahlsMatildatheMusical with my sis, her boyf, and my mom. Some amazing choreo in this. My mom, sister, and I caught the show on Broadway and it was a really fun film adaptation. Lashana Lynch had a YEAR!

    Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical(2022): LOVE Mara Wilson's version. LOVE Danny deVito's direction. Watching this new version because of that dancing clip circling & curious about the musical. This one is more like a thriller film. I wish more scenes/a better connection written with Miss Honey.

    This movie’s many problems start right with the title. Roald Dahl never wrote any musicals, so why is this one attributed to him? The filmmakers are guilty of a type of inductive fallacy known as ‘honor by association’ — or, to put it in layman’s terms, name-dropping. #RoaldDahlsMatildatheMusical #MovieReview #Musical #Fantasy #Comedy #Film https://ninetypercentcrapmoviereviews.wordpress.com/2022/12/28/roald-dahls-matilda-the-musical/

    I was watching this thinking how much Alisha Weir's performance in the title role reminded me of Emma Watson's "Hermione" from back in 2001! Feisty and intelligent, she is sent by her parents to the "Cruncher Hall" school where she encounters "Miss Trunchbull" (Dame Emma Thompson). Now this is a teacher who would not have looked out of place working with King Herod at Christmas! The children live in fear of her, as do the staff - but as "Matilda" starts to bond with "Miss Honey" (Lashana Lynch)…
