Matilda the Musical on Broadway- School song (Full Recording) 01/01/17 

I swear. The way Tim Minchin incorporated the letters of the alphabet into the lyrics is just GENIUS!

Still some of the coolest musical choreo ever. I was transfixed when I first saw it and it's still impressive.

I love the surprise of the alphabet lyrics when you hear it for the first time

When I first saw this in theatre I think I died, I sat there mouth wide open the whole song. The letters in the fence/door are so so so cool

"my mummy says im a miracle" "SHUT UP"

holy shit the timing of this coreography seems hard af

This is my favourite version of the stage one - the way the lighting with the blocks just makes it very impactful!

I honestly prefer this version to the movie one. The letter blocks being pushed through the gate while the older students dance around them is more creative and fun to watch than the mad dash through the school while running past lettered doors.

The transition at the End!! Theater Magic!!. Loved this show!

The guy bumping the air at the end of the Song while walking off is a mood

Doing this show rn this song never fails to amaze me with the choreography and lyrics

I love how you never know it is the alphabet until the visuals come in😍😍

The choreography!! Gshdh my brain is not able to describe articulately rn but like,, it's so good

2:15, This is the best way to learn every letter in the alphabet apart from Z, unless you count that as PhyZ'ED, but I dunno.

So you think you're able (A-ble) to survive this mess by being (B-ing) a prince or a princess? You will soon see (C) there's no escaping tragedy (trage-D). And even (E-ven) if you put in heaps of effort (F-ort), you're just wasting energy (ener-G). 'Cause your life, as you know it, is ancient (H-ent) history. I have suffered in this jail (J-l). Have been trapped inside this cage (K-ge) for ages, this living hell (h-L). But if I try, I can remember (re-M-ber) back before my life had ended (N-ded), before my happy days were over (O-ver), before I first heard the pealing (P-ling) of the bell. Like you, I was curious (Q-rious), so innocent I asked (R-sked) a thousand questions. But unless (Unl-S) you want to suffer, listen up and I will teach (T-ch) you a thing or two. You (U) listen here, my dear. You'll be punished so severely (se-V-rely) if you step out of line. And if you cry, it will be double. You (W) should stay out of trouble and remember to be extremely (X-tremely) careful. Why? (Y) Why? Did you hear what he said? Just you wait for Phys-Ed. (Phy-Z)

The choreo is amazing

This is so amazing!

GENIUS
