Its a paradoy of Matilda the musical. They chose it because its about setting things right and standing up for what you believe in. It's my favorite musical. I've seen it like 3 times
insomniacfolder well, if it is the reason, he won't achieve anything with that because Tim is Australian and he wrote Matilda for the RSC in the UK. As for the parody, I assume this is a for profit show and doesn't need federal funding, so he would have been mocked anyway.
I have to be honest, I don't know Ben Platt and Abigail Spencer, but I find it hilarious, how Tim Minchin is getting called libtard and such. He's the farthest away from political correctness, doesn't give a damn about what others think about his opinions. Anyway, Tim Minchin is a pure genious!

Why do you hate happiness Rupert 😂 ? Fangirl : I can't believe you quoted the musical to defend me against someone who hated it 😂 ! I had a good laugh out of all this anyway ^^ ! Here, some love 💕
never said i was a liberal...not all people who find Trump a scum sucking fucktard are liberals....and both his muslim bans were shot done and blocked, how many people in his camp have either had to resign or be fired due to their ties with Russia? the dip wad encouraged Russia to hack Hillary...and Trump is firing off one lie after another..one nutburger conspiracy theory after another..he was just basically called a liar by the FBI and the NSA on national tv....he's also a heap mighty hypocrite because he talks about America this and America that yet he's building a pipeline with Russian steel after going on and on and on about using American steel (all roads lead back to the Kremlin)....for every job he claims to be creating he's costing people..he would bitch left right and center the handful of times Obama went to play golf..Trump has gone 10x's in 2 months (and tried to hide it)...he would bitch when Obama would use Air Force One if it was anything other than business..yet he's flown to FL how many times in 2 months? Palm Beach doesn't want him there..businesses are trying to do something about it...he's costing them revenue...and has disrupted their entire town. NYC doesn't want him there..for the same reasons. The man who talks about how in debt we are is racking up more in expenses than any POTUS EVER...I mean the sheer pig ignorance of Melania staying in NYC costing tax payers millions upon millions a month to protect her. IF she were to spend like 2 weeks in Washington, some of those things being slashed out of the budget could be covered for years...like Meals for Wheels. The Trumps in 1 month cost tax payers more than the Obamas did for a year and change...and Trump's personal bank account is profiting from his Presidency
Trump does no "fucking live in FL" you double wide dwelling hillbilly...he lives in NYC, you know that city his mail order bimbo currently lives sucking millions of tax payer dollars from hard working Americans because she doesn't want to be in Washington with Trumplestiltzkin.....and if you seriously think he flies down to FL every weekend to work you've a special kind of ocean front property in kansas real estate buying stupid...he's played golf 10 times in less than 2 months...he's cost more in tax payer dollars in 1 month than Obama's whole family did in 1 year....but try again Jethro.
do they teach you Trumpanzees the default talking points..."CNN BAD...GRRRR" last time I checked James Corden was on CBS...so you are definitely putting the ASS in assume...Trump just had the FBI, NSA, and DOJ call him a big fat honking delusional liar on National TV yesterday....he's got the "lie" part of lie til you die down pat..now he just needs to practice that die thing until he gets it right. Trump has given the US a big old swirly. Even people who voted for him are jumping ship.
then again Melania is used to fucking people for money...she did it to Trump, now she's doing it to the people of NYC...who says she doesn't have a marketable job skill...I hear they're installing a stripper pole in the oval office just for her...
Ray McNulty no we just learn with common sense that people like them and you are dumbasses that make shit up and by the way I am educated so don't bring that up I went to medical school for 7 years and could do what you could ten times better so don't even pull that card
Wow! So great to see Tim Minchin over on this side of the planet! I'm bet this was his brainchild. Best thing since he told us to "Take your canvas bags to the supermarket." 😜
He's a genius but no amount of genius can make up for the damage done by the greatest scourge of the modern world, also from Australia, Rupert Murdoch!
@@katesteen3258 I don't think so. Murdoch has been destroying democracies around the world for 40 years. And let's face it, without Murdoch there would be no Trump. Murdoch created the cult that created Trump.
I never thought I would see Matilda combined with Donald Trump
Munchiezxx me neither
Munchiezxx I feel trump and Hamilton would be a better pair
Munchiezxx He'd make a great Trunchbull
Check out Stephen Colbert's Hamilton parody of Trump. Also Randy Rainbow did a good one too (look him up).
Munchiezxx right?!
people cheering when ben platt belts that high note im yelling
can you blame them it was so beautiful, despire their ironic cheering cutting it off
I was like "DAMNIT BEN PLATT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SYNC THIS ISNT FUCKING DEAE WVAN HANSEN"
@Charlie Andomen deae wvan hansen
wait when was the belted high note
Valourian it wasn’t exactly belted, but it was a beautiful high note in his falsetto 2:28
Ben Platt showing up and killing it!!!!!!
F your stooped video
he's got the magic.
I see what ya did there
Alexandra Edwards that was fun, what do Donald Trump thinking about his musical ?
who?
I'm here for Tim Minchin
I'm a simple gal. I see Ben Platt, I click
You're not alone 😂
The most relatable thing I’ve ever read😂
He’s mine btw
Same
John Laurens the turtle queen no HES MINE
Tim Minchin is a legend
You know you're a musical theatre nerd, when all you can think is that Bens swing is off beat.
Lmao, that bothered me.
OMG IT IS!
WHY DID YOU POINT THAT OUT MY GOSH 😂
When?
@@1Za520302:15
This needs to be a full musical. PLEASE.
how did you get to global warming already? and are you a scientist?
Well, just look up the Matilda script and lyrics and adjust as needed.
Marcus Chan just imagine that would be so funny
Its a paradoy of Matilda the musical. They chose it because its about setting things right and standing up for what you believe in. It's my favorite musical. I've seen it like 3 times
They probably also selected it because Tim Minchin wrote the musical, and was on the show.
Tim Minchin is always a joy to watch.
Damn. With this kind of musical Hamilton will give a run for their money. Any ticket available?
lei see it closed on Broadway on January 1st.
its still available into in london, us tour and Australia though :)
Matilda was absolutely brilliant. See it if it comes near you on tour.
lei see Thank your plucky starlets musical theatre is the last bastion of camp.
lei see Hamilton was shit anyways
lei see it's called matilda
When Ben hits that high note at 2:30 😭💙😊😍...I melted
It's always wonderful seeing more Tim Minchin!
So, *this* is why Trump wants to eliminate the Endowment for the Arts.
insomniacfolder well, if it is the reason, he won't achieve anything with that because Tim is Australian and he wrote Matilda for the RSC in the UK. As for the parody, I assume this is a for profit show and doesn't need federal funding, so he would have been mocked anyway.
insomniacfolder you
So now we know that if Tim Minchin and Donald Trump had a love child it'd be Simon Pegg
Heidi Teague YESSSSS!
ROFL so true
i was like "excuse me?!" then i googled pictures of him and thought "never mind"
hahaha I thought it was Simon at first too! hahahaha
AHAHAH YES

I always pictured a protest flash-mob of "Naughty" or "Revolting Children" (Revolting Citizens?) but THIS... This is the thing I never knew I needed.
I don’t know why but literally every time they say “And that’s not right” I get the biggest goosebumps
finally some love for Matilda the musical 😂😂😂
Love Tim Minchin's music. This is just brilliant😃
