Hi! I'm Andriela and I'm 11 years old
0:14
Hi, my name is Evangeline. I'm 9 years old. Hi, I'm Gabby and I'm 8 years old and I got to sing Matilda the Musical
0:21
We're a revolting star, as we'll have the judge. We're revolting, we're revolting
0:26
We are revolting children living in revolting times We sing revolting songs
0:33
Matilda the Musical is about a girl named Matilda who is very intelligent and has an extraordinary mind
0:40
But her parents do not treat her with kindness or respect. Neither does the horrible headmistress, Miss Trenchable
0:47
So she rallies up the whole entire school to take a stand and defeat Miss Trenchable
0:56
My favorite song was probably Naughty because it a really good tune It even funny sometimes and it was really good My favorite song from the show is Quiet
1:09
This is kind of a breakthrough moment for Matilda. It feels like you are right there in the moment with her
1:15
Though her words can be a bit confusing and chaotic, it still gives you a glimpse into her mind
1:21
I do have a favorite song, and it's called The Hammer, and it is where Miss Trenchbull is like in a funny military uniform and goes outside
1:31
and sings a song about her hammer throwing and it really kind of makes fun of both her
1:37
and the concept of a dictator because like of her military uniform and her hammer throwing
1:46
I know that this is not a common answer but my favorite character is Miss Trenchbull
1:51
She is a great villain and even though she was horrible to Miss Honey in the showroom
1:56
she still has some very funny moments I also loved Emma Thompson version of the character She made her much more likable I think my favorite character with Matilda is Matilda
2:07
because she most reminds me of myself and also because she is a bit of a troublemaker
2:12
and also because she loves reading, which I really share that trait with
2:19
I think that everyone's a little bit naughty sometimes. So yes. Yes, I have
2:25
My friends and I like to pull pranks on each other. I mean, who isn't naughty sometimes
2:30
Sometimes I am a bit naughty, like recently, when I brought my little toy hamster to school
2:37
and snuck him around my table group so that one of my friends didn't get him
2:42
And there was a time that I stole a fidget, so I have been a little bit naughty
2:51
No, I don't think I could have. It would have not ended that well
2:56
It lots of chocolate and it a big cake I don know if anyone could I would want to finish the chocolate cake I admittedly would finish about three quarters of the chocolate cake
3:09
after which I would have a serious bathroom problem, and I hate that
3:14
U-S-I-N-G! U-S-I-N-G! I definitely think that other kids will enjoy Matilda. Matilda is a great role model
3:24
and she teaches a valuable lesson that you're not always going to rely on the grown-ups in your life to fix everything for you
3:30
and that you're just going to have to finish your own story. And it also shows the power of children
3:35
and how new generations can change the order of their circumstance. The songs are really good
3:44
It makes you want to get up and dance. So I think lots of kids will like Matilda
3:49
