Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical is currently streaming on Netflix. Directed by Matthew Warchus, the film's screenplay has been written by Dennis Kelly. A fresh take on the Tony and Olivier Award-winning stage musical (2011) based on Dahl's 1988 novel Matilda, the synopsis for the new film reads: Matilda, an extraordinary girl armed with a sharp mind and a vivid imagination, dares to take a stand against her oppressive parents and head teacher to change her story with miraculous results."
Here are 6 interesting facts about her you may not know.
Her mother Jenny told the Irish Examiner of Weir's musical talents, "She was always natural to it. She used to follow the girls around, singing. She used to go into the singing classes with the two girls, and she would know all the words of all the songs, as if she was doing the class herself."
The Matilda actress also seems to be quite close with her older sisters, and she often appears in Katie's TikTok videos.
Weir was sitting with her family when she received a surprising Zoom call from Matilda the Musical director Matthew Warchus. "He told me I got the part, and my whole family was there," Weir told the Irish Examiner. "My two sisters, my mom and dad, and I just burst into tears because I don't think you can expect what kind of reaction you're going to get in that situation. I burst into tears because I just couldn't believe it."
"The first time I met Emma, she wasn't in costume, and she was so lovely," Weir said. "Then I saw her as Trunchbull, and she was terrifying. I'm tiny compared to her in these huge boots. It was really scary because she is so good at the part and makes it feel so realistic, but after the scene, she is lovely again." Along with Thompson, Matilda the Musical also stars Lashana Lynch as Miss Honey and Stephen Graham as Matilda's father.
