      YES! So many movie adaptations of stage musicals are adapted by people who don't understand or like theater and then the movies are like they're trying to make them less of a musical so they're more palatable to people who aren't already into theater, alienating both demographics in the process

      @@manuelorozco7760 such good examples! In the Heights was such a beautifully done film, the remake of West Side Story (with actual Hispanic actors in it) was incredible. I love when a movie musical has the same magical level of performance quality to it as the stage shows they’re often adapted from. Nothing quite matches live theatre, but they’re definitely getting the idea that movie musicals are best made for people who love musicals, rather than watering them down to try to pull in people who don’t.

And I skipped Dear Evan Hansen because the stage version was good enough for me and the Pandemic didn’t make its release last year to be the right place and time.

    I never got to see the musical when it was on Broadway, so I'm thrilled it's getting a film adaptation! The 90's film will always be close to my heart because I love it so much, but I'm excited to finally get to see the musical version! If this is done well, then I'll have two film adaptations of the book that I love!
    Also, this is no more an adaptation of the 90's movie than Hook is an adaptation of Disney's Peter Pan, or Webber's musical of Phantom of the Opera is an adaptation of the 1930's silent film. They're simply two separate ways of adapting a book, and have no relation to each other otherwise.

      I saw a local youth theatre production of Matilda, and "When I Grow Up" saw the children bringing mirror frames onstage, singing into the mirrors (facing the audience). Then, completely out of the blue, they turned the mirrors and stood in profile to the audience, and the adults from the production team (who were otherwise not part of the cast) came on to be their reflections as they imagined themselves as grown-ups. I knew many of these kids and adults, and the real-life relationships they had. Seeing how they were paired off genuinely brought tears to my eyes in an instant. I would love to see something like this in the movie; I think it would work very well.

    I've never seen the stage musical, but the Netflix movie was fantastic. The child performers were all so incredibly talented. I loved the diversity in the casting. Emma Thompson is a goddess--i swear this actress can turn into anyone. I didn't expect to enjoy it this much. A fantastic addition to Netflix's catalogue.

      And before you ask in the musical, Trunchbull is Miss Honey's stepsister so they don't have to biologically be the same race. Not to mention biracial and multiracial biological siblings are common. Even identical twins with the same parents of two different ethnicities and skin color can be born with one having a fairer pigmentation and one having darker.)

If we did this to black characters and changed them too white I would be equally pissed off I grew up with these stories I want to enjoy them as they were.. make new stories if you want black characters.

There are certainly a couple of little things that irked me that I will not disclose as not to spoil but I would give this film a 4/5!

    I have always loved that the musical carried over the original novel's appearance and mannerisms of Ms. Trunchbull. I loved the 90's film's style and humour. But it is nice to see the version closer to what I read in the book, as a kid too!
    I wish I got to see the musical live when it came to Toronto; a handful of my coworkers went as a group (some who said they hated musicals, as well), and they all loved it. So annoying to miss out on.... I couldn't afford tickets at the time tho. Stage musicals continue to be so class-gated....so I'll be happy to finally get to see it like this! I can at least afford Netflix lol.
