Miracle
by Andrea Riseborough

[ Featuring Alisha Weir, Matt Henry ]

My mummy says I'm a miracle
My daddy says I'm his special little guy
I am a princess
And I am a prince
Mum says I'm an angel sent down from the sky

My daddy says I'm his special little soldier
No one is as bold or tough as me
Has my daddy told you?
One day when I'm older
I can be a soldier
And punch you in the face!

Take another picture of our pumpkin from this angle over here
I know we oughtn't say this; but she's clearly cuter than her peers
What a dear!
You threw up, honey, look at mummy!
Try not to vomit on your brother...
Now smile for mummy; smile for mother!
I think she blinked
Well, takе another!

Have you seen what he can do?
Is that unusual for day two?
Is smiling еarly not a sign of an exceptional IQ?
She's just delightful. So intuitious and insightful
Might he be a little brighter than the norm?
I know to say it's frightful form!

(Take another picture of our pumpkin from this angle over here)
My mummy says I'm a miracle
(I know we oughtn't say this; but she's clearly cuter than her peers)
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
(What a dear!
You threw up, honey, look at mummy!)
Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical cord
(Try not to vomit on your brother...
Now smile for mummy; smile for mother!)
It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me!
(I think she blinked
Well, take another!)

My mummy says I'm a miracle
That I'm as tiny and as shiny as a mirror ball
You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical
There's never been a miracle, as factually spectacularly
Actually miraculously
Fabulous a miracle as me!

A baby?
I'm not having a baby, what on Earth gives you that idea?
I'm not listenin' to this, this is quackery
But- you're about to give birth...
Are you out of your mind?
Mrs. Wormwood, you're having a contraction
I'm not having contractions!
Contractions are for pregnant woman- who are having babies!
I'm having a stinkin' baby!

Every life I bring into this world restores my faith in humankind
Each new-born life, a canvas yet unpainted...
This still unbroken skin...
Their uncorrupted minds...

Every life is unbelievably unlikely
The chances of existence
Almost infinitely small
The most common thing in life is life!
And yet every single life
Every new life is a miracle! (Miracle!)

What?
A girl
What? You mean MY son, is a girl?
I mean that your DAUGHTER is a girl
Yeah- but the 'bloons, Doctor, I mean, the balloons- they say boy...
Mr. Wormwood, your wife has just given birth to a beautiful, healthy, happy little girl, she's perfect! This is fantastic news

Why do bad things always happen to good people?
Fine upstanding citizens like you and me?
Why- when we've done nothing wrong
Should this disaster come along?
This horrible- (Miracle!)
Weird looking- (Miracle!)
Hairy, little stinky thing!
With no sign of a winky-ding at all!

Every life is a miracle
Every life is a miracle!
Every life is a miracle!

My mummy says I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me!

My mummy says I'm a miracle
That I'm as tiny and as shiny as a mirror ball
You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical
There's never been a miracle, a miracle, a miracle as...

My mummy says I'm a lousy little worm
My daddy says I'm a bore
My mummy says I'm a jumped-up little germ
That kids like me should be against the law

My daddy says I should learn to shut my pie hole
No one likes a smart-mouthed girl like me
Mum says I'm a good case for population control
Dad says I should watch more TV

Naughty
by Alisha Weir

[ Featuring Matilda the Musical Original Cast ]

[MATILDA]
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water, so they say
Their subsequent fall was inevitable
They never stood a chance-
They were written that way
Innocent victims of their story!

Like Romeo and Juliet
T'was written in the stars before they even met
That love and fate and a touch of stupidity
Would rob them of their hope of living happily
The endings are often a little bit gory
I wonder why thеy didn't just change their story
We'rе told we have to do as we're told, but surely
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty



Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change

Even if you're little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like "little" stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying
You think that it's okay
And that's not right!
And if it's not right
You have to put it right

In the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt
The seed of a war in the creak of a floorboard
A storm can begin with the flap of a wing
The tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting
Every day starts with the tick of a clock
All escapes start with the click of a lock
If you're stuck in your story and want to get out
You don't have to cry, you don't have to shout

Cause if you're little you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like "little" stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Won't change a thing


Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
You might as well be saying
You think that it's okay
And that's not right
And if it's not right
You have to put it right

But nobody else is gonna put it right for me
Nobody but me is going to change my story
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty

School Song
by Sadie Victoria Lim

[ Featuring Matilda the Musical Original Cast, Meesha Garbett ]

[HORTENSIA]
Oi, new kids!
And so you think you're able
To survive this mess by
Being a prince or a princess
You will soon see
There's no escaping tragedy
And even if you put in heaps of effort
You're just wasting energy
Cause your life as you know it is ancient history

[CHILDREN]
I have suffered in this jail
Have been trapped inside this
Cage for ages
This living 'ell
But if I try I can remember
Back before my life had ended
Before my happy days werе over
Before I first hеard the
Pealing of the bell
Like you, I was curious
So innocent, I asked a thousand questions
But unless you want to suffer
Listen up and I will teach you
A thing or two
You listen here, my dear
You'll be punished
So severely if you
Step out of line
And if you cry it will be double
You should stay out of trouble
And remember to be extremely careful!

[LAVENDER, spoken]

[PREFECT, spoken]
Oh, you'll start learning all right

[LAVENDER, spoken]
Great! I already know the alphabet!

[PREFECT, spoken]
You don't know the alphabet until we LEARN you the alphabet

[CHILDREN]
And so you think you're able
To survive this mess by
Being a prince or a princess
You will soon see
There's no escaping tragedy
And even if you put in heaps of effort
You're just wasting energy
Cause your life as you know it is ancient history
I have suffered in this jail
Have been trapped inside this

The Hammer
by Emma Thompson

[ Featuring Lashana Lynch, Matilda the Musical Original Cast ]

[MISS TRUNCHBULL]
Look at these trophies
See how my trophies gleam in the sunlight?
See how they shine?

What do you think it took to become
English Hammer-Throwing Champion 1959?
Do you think in that moment
When my big moment came
That I treated the rules
With casual disdain?
Well? Like hell!

As I stepped up to the circle, did I change my plan?
Hmm? What?
As I chalked up my palms, did I wave my hands?
I did not!
As I started my spin, did I look at the view?
Did I drift off and dream for a minute or two?
Do you think I faltered or amended my rotation?
Do you think I altered my intended еlevation?
As the hammer took off, did I changе my grunt
From the grunt I had practiced for many a month?
Not a jot! Not a dot did I stray from the plot!
Not a detail of my throw was adjusted or forgotten
Not even when the hammer left my hands
And sailed high up, up above the stands
Did I let myself go?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

[ANNOUNCER, spoken]
She's done it! She is the best!

[MISS. TRUNCHBULL]
If you want to throw the hammer for your country
You have to stay inside the circle all the time
And if you want to make the team
You don't need happiness or self-esteem
You just need to keep your feet inside the line
Sing, children. 2, 3, 4!

[CHILDREN]
If you want to throw the hammer for your country

[MISS TRUNCHBULL]
Bambinautm est magitum

[CHILDREN and MISS TRUNCHBULL]
You have to stay inside the circle all the time

[CHILDREN]
Circulum magitum magitum

[MISS TRUNCHBULL]
And if you want to teach success
You don't use sympathy or tenderness

[CHILDREN]
Tenderness

[MISS TRUNCHBULL]
You have to force the little squits to toe the line!
Sing, Jenny!

[MISS HONEY and CHILDREN]
If you want to throw the hammer for your country


[CHILDREN]
Bambinautm est magitum

[MISS HONEY and CHILDREN]
You have to stay inside the circle all the time

[CHILDREN]
Circulum Magitum Magitum!
Circulum est deus! Deus! Gloria!

[MISS TRUNCHBULL]
Apply just one simple rule
To a hammer-throwing life at school:
Life's a ball, so learn to throw it
Find the bally line and toe it
And always keep your feet inside the line

Now, get out!

Chokey Chant Hide Me
by Matilda the Musical Original Cast

[ Featuring Meesha Garbett ]

There's a place you are sent if you haven't been good
And it's made of spikes and wood
And it isn't wide enough to sit, and even if you could
There are nails on the bottom, so you'll wish you'd stood
When the hinges creak and the door is closed
You cannot see squat, not the end of your nose
And when you scream, you don't know if the sounds came out
Or if the scream in your head even reached your mouth

[MISS. TRUNCHBULL, spoken]
Oh, Cook!
Eat

[CHILDREN, spoken]
He can't!

[MISS. TRUNCHBULL, spoken]
Eat

[CHILDREN, spoken]
He surely can't



[MISS. TRUNCHBULL, spoken]
Eat

[CHILDREN, spoken]
He might explode!

[MISS. TRUNCHBULL, spoken]
Eat!

[CHILDREN]
A single slice
Or even two, Bruce
Might have been nice
But even you, Bruce
Have to admit
Between you and it
There's not a lot of difference in size
He can't! (He can)
He surely can't!
He surely can't! (You are the man, Bruce!)
He might explode!
He's quite elastic
He's going to blow, make him stop!
He's fantastic, look at him go!
I can't watch!

I think in effect
This must confirm, Bruce
What we all suspected
You have a worm, Bruce!
Or maybe your largeness
Is a bit like the TARDIS:
Considerably roomier inside
He can't! (He can!)
He surely can't!
He surely can't!
You are the man, Bruce!
B-R-O-O-C-E!

Bruce!
You'll never again be subject to abuse
For your immense caboose
She'll call a truce, Bruce
With every swallow, you are tightening the noose
We never thought it was possible
But here it is, coming true:
We can have our cake and eat it too!
The time has come to put that tumbly-tum to use
No excuse, Bruce
Let out your belt, I think you'll want your trousers loose, oh-

Stuff it in. (Bruce!) You're almost finished. (Bruce!)
You'll fit it in
Whatever you do, just don't give in
Don't let her win
Come on, Bruce, be our hero
Cover yourself in chocolate glory!


Bruce!
You'll never again be subject to abuse
For your immense caboose
She'll call a truce, Bruce
Just one more bite and you'll've completely cooked her goose
We never thought it was possible
But here it is, coming true:
We can have our cake and eat it-

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ahhhhh!

When I Grow Up
by Lashana Lynch

[ Featuring Alisha Weir, Andrei Shen, ]

[LAVENDER]
When I grow up
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get to climb when you're grown up

[ERIC]
And when I grow up
I will be smart enough to answer all
The questions that you need to know
The answers to before you're grown up



[AMANDA]
And when I grow up
I will eat sweets every day
On the way to work and I
Will go to bed late every night

[NIGEL]
And I will wake up
When the sun comes up and I
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up!

[ALL CHILDREN]
When I grow up!

Whеn I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I will be strong еnough to carry all
The heavy things you have to haul
Around with you when you're a grown-up

And when I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
That you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown-up

[ALL]
And when I grow up (And when I grow up)
I will have treats every day
And I'll play with things that mum pretends
That mums don't think are fun

And I will wake up
When the sun comes up and I
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown-up

When I grow up

[MISS HONEY]
And when I grow up
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
That you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown-up
When I grow up...

[MATILDA]
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change


[MISS HONEY]
When I grow up...

[MATILDA]
Just because I find myself in this story
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
If I think the ending is fixed already
I might as well be saying
I think that it's OK
And that's not right!

The Smell of Rebellion
by Emma Thompson

[ Featuring Matilda the Musical Original Cast ]

This school of late has started reeking
Quiet, maggots, when I'm speaking!
Reeking with a most disturbing scent
Only the finest nostrils smell it
But I know it oh-too-well
It is the odour of rebellion
It's the bouquet of dissent!

And you may bet your britches
This headmistress
Finds this foul odiferousness
Wholly olfactorily insulting

And so to stop the stench's spread
I find a session of Phys Ed
Sorts the merely rank from the revolting

The smell of rebellion comes out in the sweat
And Phys Ed will get you sweating
And it won't be long before I smell the pong
Of aiding and abetting!
A bit of phys. Ed. Will tell us who
Has a head full of rebellious thoughts
Hold! Hold!
Just like a rotten egg floats
To the top of a bucket of water

(One, two, three, four)
The smell of rebellion!
The stench of revolt!
The reek of insubordination!
(I can't take it anymore! One, two, three, four0
The whiff of resistance!
The pong of dissent!
The funk of mutiny in action!
(That's not right!)

Before a weed becomes too big and greedy
You really need to nip it in the bud
Position two
Before the worm starts to turn
You must scrape off the dirt
And rip it from the mud!

(One, two, three, four)
The whiff of insurgence!
The stench of intent!
The reek of pre-pubescent protest!
(But that's not right!)
(One, two, three, four)
The funk of defiance!
The odour of coup!
The waft of anarchy in progress!
(I can't take it anymore!)

Once we've exercised these demons
They shall be too pooped for dreaming!
Some double-time discipline
Should stop the rot from setting in!

All right, let's step it up. Double-time!
One, two, three, four!

Discipline
Discipline
For children who aren't listening
For midgets who are fidgeting
And whispering in history
Their chattering and chittering
Their nattering and twittering
Is tempered with a smattering of
Discipline

We must begin insisting
On rigidity and discipline
Persistently resisting
This anarchistic mischieving
These minutes you are frittering
On pandering and pitying
While little ones like this
They just want discipline
The simpering and whimpering
The dribbling and the spittling
The Miss, I need a tissue
Is an issue we can fix
There is no mystery to mastering
The art of classroom mistressing
It's discipline, discipline, discipline!

The smell of rebellion!
The stench of revolt!
The reek of pre-pubescent plotting!
The whiff of resistance!
The pong of dissent!
The funk of moral fibre rotting!

Imagine a world with no children
Close your eyes and just dream
Imagine, come on, try it
The peace and the quiet
A babbling stream
Now imagine a woods with a cottage
And inside that cottage we find
A dwarf called Zeke, a carnival freak
Who can fold paper hats with his mind
And he says: Don't let them steal your horses! No!
Don't let them throw them away! No!
If you find your way through
They'll be waiting for you
Singing 'neigh neigh'!

She's mad!

Aha! And there, just like I said
The stinking maggot rears his head
Even the squittiest, piteous mess
Can harbour seeds of stinkiness
Have you ever seen anything more repellent?
Have you ever smelled anything worse
Than that smell of rebellion?

The stench of revolt!
The reek of insubordination!
The whiff of resistance!
The pong of dissent!

Discipline, discipline
No more whispering
Children need discipline
Cut out their whimpering
If you're micheiving
She'll sniff you out
Without a doubt
She's a snout in a million
Discipline, discipline
No more whispering
Children need discipline
Cut out their whimpering

And I will not stop till you are squashed!
Till this rebellion is quashed!
Till glorious, sweaty discipline has washed
This sickening scent
Away!

Quiet
by Alisha Weir

[ Featuring Matilda the Musical Original Cast ]

Have you ever wondered, well I have
About how when I say, say, red, for example
There's no way of knowing if red
Means the same thing in your head
As red means in my head
When someone says red?

And how if we are travelling
At almost the speed of light
And we're holding a light
That light would still travel away from us
At the full speed of light?

Which seems right in a wa
But I'm trying to say I'm not sure
But I'm wondering inside my head
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends
These answers that come into my mind unbidden
These stories delivered to me fully written

And when everyone shouts - they seem to like shouting
The noise in my head is incredibly loud
And I just wish they'd stop, my dad and my mum
And the telly and stories would stop just for once

I'm sorry - I'm not quite explaining it right
But this noise becomes anger, and the anger is light
And its burning inside me would usually fade
But it isn't today, and the heat and the shouting
And my heart is pounding, and my eyes are burning
And suddenly everything, everything is

Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that still sort of quiet
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book
Or a pause in a walk in the woods

Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that nice kind of quiet
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed
Just the sound of your heart in your head

And though the people around me
Their mouths are still moving
The words they are forming
Cannot reach me anymore

And it is quiet
And I am warm
Like I've sailed
Into the eye of the storm

My House
by Lashana Lynch

[ Featuring Carl Spencer, Matilda the Musical Original Cast ]

This roof keeps me dry when the rain fall
This door helps to keep the cold at bay
On this floor I can stand on my own two feet

On this chair I can write my lessons
On this pillow I can dream my nights away
And this table, as you can see, well, it's perfect for tea

It isn't much but it is enough for me
It isn't much but it is enough

On these walls I hang wonderful pictures
Through this window I can watch the seasons change
By this lamp I can read, and I, I am set free

And when it's cold outside I feel no fear!
Even in the winter storms, I am warmed by a small but stubborn fire
And there is no-where I would rather be

It isn't much but it is enough for me
It isn't much but it is enough for me

For this is my house
This is my house
It isn't much but it is enough for me

This is my house!
This is my house!
It isn't much but it is enough

(Don't cry)
And when it's cold and bleak

(Please don't cry, I'm here!)
I feel no fear!

Even in the fiercest storms!
(Please don't cry)

I am warmed
(Let me wipe away your tears!)
By a small but stubborn fire!

(Forgive me)
Even when outside it's freezing
(I didn't want to desert you)
I don't pay much heed

(I know that I hurt you)
I know that everything I need is in here

It isn't much but it is enough for me
It isn't much but it is enough for me

Revolting Children
by Liberty Greig

[ Featuring Charlie Hodson-Prior, Matilda the Musical Original Cast ]

Whoa!
Never again will she get the best of me
Never again will she take away my freedom
And we won't forget the day we fought
For the right to be a little bit naughty!
Never again will the chokey door slam
Never again will I be bullied and
Never again will I doubt it when
My mummy says I'm a miracle

Never again will we live behind bars
Never again now that we know that we are
Revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
Til our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting
We're revolting!

We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting
We're revolting!

We will become a screaming horde!

Take out your hockey stick and use it as a sword

Never again will we be ignored

We'll find out where the chalk is stored

And draw rude pictures on the board

It's not insulting

We're revolting!

We can S-P-el how we like!
If enough of us are wrong, wrong is right!
Everyone! N-O-R-T-Y?
'Cause we're a little bit naughty!
You say we oughta stay inside the line
But if we disobey at the same time
There is nothing that the Trunchbull can do

She can take her hammer and S-H-U(v)

You mighta thought we were weak but we're strong!
Mighta thought we would break but you're wrong!
Because you finally pushed us too far
Now there's no going back cos we...
R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N

Revolting times!

We'll S-I-N-G

Songs!

U-S-I-N-G

Rhymes!

We'll be R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G
It is 2-L-8-4-U-E-R-E-vol-ting!

We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
Til our revolting's done
It is 2-L-8-4-U, 4-U, 4-U, 4-U, 4-U!

We are revolting children

Never again will she get the best of me

Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs

Whoa, yeah

Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done

Down, down, down, down!
It is 2-L-8-4-U
We are revolting!

Still Holding My Hand
by Matilda the Musical Original Cast

I was sure that I would never escape
The story I had written for me

I couldn't find a way out
I couldn't see beyond the clouds
That swirled around me
Then one day I opened my eyes
And looked up to find that the sky
Had turned blindingly blue
And right by my side there was you
Quietly taking your stand
And you were holding my hand

I believed that I (I believed)
Would never be able to rely (that I would never find)
On anybody else (anybody else)
And I was sure that I (I was)
Would just have to learn to survive (sure that I would always)
All by myself (be all by myself)
And one day I opened my eyes (one day I opened my eyes)
And looked up to find that the sky
Had turned blindingly blue
And right by my side there was you
Quietly taking a stand
And you were holding my hand

You were holding my hand!
You were just there for me
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me

You were there as I battled my fears
I fell and you helped me to stand
When the storm finally cleared
You were there
You were still holding my hand
You were still holding my hand

You kicked down the doors for me (kicked down the doors for me)
You helped me understand (you helped me understand)
There was another version of me
You were still holding my hand (when I grow up)
You were just there for me (I will be braver)
Quietly taking a stand (after all)
Changing the end of my story for me

You were still holding my hand
You were just there for me
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me

You were still holding my hand

Matilda the Musical

Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical, or simply Matilda the Musical, or Matilda, is a 2022 fantasy musical film directed by Matthew Warchus from a screenplay by Dennis Kelly, based on the stage musical of the same name by Tim Minchin and Kelly, which in turn was based on the 1988 novel Matilda by Roald Dahl. The second film adaptation of the novel, following Matilda (1996), it stars Alisha Weir as the title character, alongside Lashana Lynch, Stephen Graham, Andrea Riseborough, Sindhu Vee, and Emma Thompson. In the plot, Matilda Wormwood (Weir), neglected and mistreated by her parents (Graham and Riseborough), develops psychokinetic abilities to deal with the injustices of life, as well as Miss Trunchbull (Thompson), the ruthless and cruel headmistress of Crunchem Hall School.

An adaptation of the stage musical was first announced in November 2013, with Warchus and Kelly reportedly attached to return as director and writer, respectively. In January 2020, the project was officially announced, and Warchus and Kelly's returns were confirmed, as well as Minchin, who revealed he was returning to write new songs for the film. Christopher Nightingale, who had written background music for the stage production, was also hired to return as composer of the film's incidental score. The cast was filled out between January and April 2021, including Weir, Lynch, Thompson, Vee, Graham, and Riseborough. Filming took place beginning in May 2021.

Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical premiered at the 66th BFI London Film Festival on 5 October 2022, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 25 November, by Sony Pictures Releasing, while in the United States it received a limited theatrical release on 9 December and was available on Netflix on 25 December.

The film received largely positive reviews from critics, and was nominated for Outstanding British Film and Best Makeup and Hair at the 76th British Academy Film Awards.
