Matilda Cast;

[dyland]

We have our 4 matildas, and our Miss Trunchbell, now what about the rest of the cast? Anyone one hear anything..? Ensemble?

[bwayto]

No announcements have been made about other casting yet. As far as I've heard, they are still looking for people/haven't made decisions.

I want to know whos playing Ms. Honey!

Saw it in London, and it was fantastic! Definitely a contender for Best Score, Best Musical.

[BrdwyThtr]

Ms. Honey is being played by the same woman from London who is the director's wife, I believe.

[ElphabaGoodman]

I've heard that Lauren Kennedy is playing Miss Honey...not sure if there's any truth to that.

[dyland]

Who could make a good Ms. Honey? Caissie Levy..? (just a thought)

[Younger Brother]

I think Celia Keenan Bolger would be an awesome Miss Honey

[dyland]

Idina Menzel? :O

[shrekster224]

Great idea about Celia KB!

[dreaming]

I thought Kerry Butler or Patti Murin would be ideal.

[Michael Bennett]

Lauren Ward is supposedly recreating the role of Miss Honey for Broadway. Ms. Ward is fantastic in the show, btw, and gave one of my all time favorite musical theatre performances in the title role of VIOLET at Playwrights Horizons long before she was Mrs. Matthew Warchus.

I don't think Celia Keenan-Bolger would ever be considered for the role given her short stature. The adults in Matilda are to tower over the children.

[dyland]

Ensemble? Swings?

[BrdwyThtr]

Is Lauren Ward the actress who was Ms. Honey on the Royal Variety performance recently? If so, I enjoyed her voice.

[greeny11]

No, that was Haley Flaherty, Lauren Ward is the one on the cast recording. Lauren is actually American, so I can easily see her recreating the role on Broadway.

Gabriel Ebert (of 4000 Miles) will be playing Mr. Wormwood

That was announced at the bottom of this article:

Celia could be miss honey. She is an amazing actress

[Younger Brother]

Clay Thompson who leaves Newsies today is in the cast

[dyland]

I read his twitter saying something about "nothing is confirmed yet". Is it confirmed now..?

[dyland]

Well, with Chaplin and Scandalous closing, maybe some of those people will be in the cast, and maybe Leap of Faith. who knows.

"Definitely a contender for Best Score, Best Musical."


No the ONLY contender for best score best musical

[Nickhutson]

Miss Honey has been confirmed - but not yet announced.

[RockStarNYC]

It seems as if they are setting everything in stone re: casting. Some possible cast members have even put Matilda artwork on their social media sites. Wonder what the big hold up is with announcing???

[dyland]

^ Like who?

[FutureofBroadway]

Is there any truth to the mom from Sister, Sister playing the librarian role? This article claims she is, but I haven't heard anything official yet. Somehow I could see this working.

[RockStarNYC]

Sorry, it's been taken down now.

[wonderfulwizard11]

I'm already dying to see this because of Bertie Carvel, who I missed in London, but if Jackee was part of this cast I would make it my mission to be there.

[broadwayworldreader]

Younger Brother- I've also heard that Thayne Jasperson is leaving Newsies for Matilda as well.
