Miss Trunchbull was always one of my favourite villains as a kid, but no matter whether it’s the book, the play, or either of the films, she’s always portrayed as being so much kinder than a real teacher.

my son loves to sing trunchball and he also has the ribbon and the costume! we are waiting for some medals to arrive with his costume (he already has made his own trunchball costume).
Ah Miss Trunchbull, terrifying then suddenly swings into womanchild mode with her little banner. It's funny if you hear the difference between Bertie Carvel in the original recording and Broadway, he definitely pitched his voice higher later on. I don't suppose you have a recording of Bertie Carvel's Smell of Rebellion?

@Greg Elchert i believe that when possible, the person who creates a role on stage, should be allowed to recreate that role on film guess they thought the movie audiences wouldnt be able to suspend disbelief if a man was cast in the role
In Matilda -the musical Bertie Carvell's creativity developed one of the best characters in musical history along with the likes of Joel Grey's MC in Cabaret and Ron Moody's Fagin in Oliver. He is a phenomenal actor and his performance blew me away.
The tray for the cake is suspiciously thick, meaning that Bruce pushes the cake into the tray. You can actually see him push the cake down at a little after 2:24 if you pay close attention. The cake itself might be foam, and the outside looks like fabric. You can see crease lines at certain angels. This might make it easier to push down.
This is one of the funniest things i have watched in my life. Oh my goodness gracious. Such a fantastic actor. And he keeps excellent time throughout. I cant even omfg
For me honestly, it’s a tiny little creepily cooky thing she does to add to how messed up a place she runs. From an audience POV, it’s a musical number with full orchestration. But for her, it’s diegetic (ie. Heard within the story by the characters), so she’s adding her own accompaniment with those bizzarre “neyuh ha ha haaa huh” sounds. And then when she forces those kids and Jenny to sing along, it just shows how much of a psychological stranglehold she has on them that she can get them to sing her messed up hammer school anthem impromptu & acapella.
i am absolutely and utterly obsessed with matilda, i have seen it 9 times live and i have watched (genuinely and honestly) every single video on the internet you can find of anything to do with matilda. but this video has to be my favourite. bertie carvel is absolutely outstanding and tiny details are everything :)

@@kaidiamond27 i will preface by saying i’m not a person who is trans, however, i just graduated with a BFA in acting and spent 4 years dissecting the politics of musical theatre. matilda the musical’s miss trunchbull character revolves around a never-ending “man in a dress” gag, a trope that’s rooted in transmisogyny (hatred of trans women). unfortunately, matilda is only one of MANY examples where this happens in theatre. specifically for miss trunchbull, it’s also quite sexist. miss trunchbull is a domineering female character, and yet broadway and the west end have only ever cast male actors to play the role. this sent a message to me as a young girl that women are unable to play powerful and commanding domineering roles like miss trunchbull. it takes away roles from femmes in theatre and gives yet another opportunity to male-identifying actors, who already hold worlds more privilege in theatre.
