The story follows young, brilliant Matilda, played the night I saw the show by Alicia Wright, as she struggles with the trauma of parents who do not love her, a principal who mistreats her, and powers that she cannot understand. As I settled into my seat, I read the directors note by codirectors Howard and Kathryn Little and felt a surge of excitement for the show I was about to witness. When a director s can understand the assignment, especially the deeper assignment that I see as a mental health therapist in so many of these stories, I know it will come through on stage.
Matila plays through August 3 at the Lehi Arts Council. Photo Credit: Kim Filmore. Cook as Honey profoundly connected as a person who had been convinced that she is pathetic and does not have enough courage to stand up even though she has important things to say.
Her terror in the song Pathetic is potent. This is contrasted by the beautiful peace that is shown with her golden voice in a particularly touching and favorite song of mine, My House, near the end of the show. As Cook sang the words of My House, in the tiny set by Tina Fontana, I completely connected with the feeling of finally being safe, no matter the size or ambiance of the home.
Wright as Matilda, by contrast, portrays power and seeks for justice. Of course there is the evil Trunchbull, played with ease by Trevor Williams. In all stories, the most frightening villains have no idea they are doing wrong. Williams portrays the character of Trunchbull as being above reproach in terrifying accuracy. One of the first elements of this is the casting of the doctor in the song Miracle played by Mallory Miller. I am not sure how many times I have seen Matilda, but I am sure it is in the double digits.
However this was the first time the doctor was played by a female presenting person. Nothing in the script seems to indicate gender in any way. I follow on social media a prominent Utah theatre director who has gone out of their way to share statistics regarding auditions of shows and how often women outnumber men in auditions 3 or sometimes 4 to one.
