@@muscalchars9892 We're talking about Miss Trunchbull here ... ;-)

04279 well...

Pam Ferris failed to remain in character off-camera, and ended up falling in love with the kids.

@@AnathexAdventurer That's so sweet. I didn't know.

@@BlackKnight413 It looks terrible up close, but when you're sitting in the audience, with the stage lights shining on him, it'll look fantastic.

... How?

In what way? They are literally like opposites😂🧐

@@siobhand.252 REALLY?

In mine it’s a 47 year old man with a full beard. Oh buddy boy will this be fun

In the tradition of the Pantomime Dame, I expect.

The international tour cast, I managed to meet them all at the stage door in MBS

Hanchan C yeah lol I whenever I put on my costumes for performances I’m always sweating on stage 😂

I was in a panto once and I was SO cold backstage.

Ray O 'Shea OOF

@@rayoshea5979 I always find it is hot on stage, and also hot backstage as we have really small dressing rooms 😂

haha, me too, how did you do the makeup? did you try to replicate this?

Thank you. Yours is the only comment with this guys name

I don’t know why I just get one comment

I really like how they design the make up and the costume it’s very fascinating and clever I can see how they organise the musical this is my favourite musical ever I really would have the experience and opportunity for it. No matter how many people is going to be in London as long as I try and best and decide what character I want to play

First & only I believe. Ferris is cumbersome as herself but it's a lot easier in film to give the character a bit...more.

Bailee McDonald you’re joking right? He’s in a mirror the first half of the video.

Bailee McDonald i cant tell if ur serious...

I'm just joking. Wanted to see how many 9 year old were like 'oh yeah.' Hahaha

bailee Mcdonald lol I was looking for this comment

8:51 makes The characters so powerful

At home counting his millions? Seriously though, as I've heard him point out in interviews, he has moved on to other projects while the musical has continued on.

Maybe, but it's how *he* does it.

If it was a woman playing a man's role you'd be all for it and you know it.

China Raven because it’s more funny with a male and it’s a lot easier to find tall masculine men then women

@@gredgrover2657 Not at all! If they had a female Mr. Wormwood I would say the same thing.

@@lolawalker9605 I don't think it's more funny. Look at Pam Ferris; she did it perfectly. There is no need for a man to play the part. There are barely any roles for women of that build and yet there are enough capable of performing that role.

Also because the part was written for a Bass. The vocals are very deep

Also it's a very common trope in pantomime which is possibly an influence on this musical

I know that this is a bit late to respond to, but that’s just how theater goes. You get the person; regardless of their gender to play a role. They look for people whose body and how they sound when speaking/singing. I mean for instance; Ms. Trenchbull is often played by a guy; because they need a tall, and more masculine look to increase the intimidation the character gives off. Yes there are women who can fit the description and play the role of her; but it just boils down to how the character acts and what they look for in the actor to play that part.

Also your forgetting that the main character ,Matilda, of this musical is played by a girl as well as Ms. Honey!

Lubricant Records it supposed to make her bigger and scarier. Plus the vocal range is bass.

it's to make her taller and stronger than all the other people in the play and to allow her to have a deeper voice and range. Also in the UK we are used to pantomime dames, it was written for a Uk audience.

Mica Young That’s how it’s supposed to be played. It makes her appear more masculine and comedic

@@UserSmith100 I know that's how it's supposed to be, it's just iffy to make a woman masculine or have a man play a woman for laughs, because it's transphobic, it makes trans women (who can often appear more masculine than cis women) seem like men pretending to be women, or, in this case, evil. Don't get me wrong, I love Matilda, I'm just not fond of the tendency to make the trunchbull masculine to make her seem more nasty.

Calm down. It's how it's always been.

Mica Young It’s not that deep dude, trunchbull as a character was always the more stereotypical big hulking woman. And not to mention that the part is written for someone with a bass vocal range. On a side note it’s not just trans woman who don’t “pass” socially well as others who keep getting mistaken as the wrong gender it’s cis women too. My grandmother is usually mistaken to be a man because of her 6 ‘ stature, her broad shoulders and body type and very strong German jaw.🙂

@@CakePOPBookBOX I understand. Didn't know that, actually, i just saw the surface level potential yikes factor. Someone else responded that it was supposed to be comedic, so I was in that mindset. in the mindset of she's supposed to be big and scary (which is how it is in the book), the casting decision absolutely makes sense.
