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.

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

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

I think Celia Keenan Bolger would be an awesome Miss Honey

I thought Kerry Butler or Patti Murin would be ideal.

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.

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

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.

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???

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.

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.
