West End Matilda Stars Isobelle, Jade & Cleo Talk Super Powers, Scary Adults and Why Girls Rule on Today

On August 10, Today Olympics correspondent Meredith Vieira sat down for a chat with three of the West End's youngest stars: Isobelle Molloy, Jade Marner and Cleo Demetriou. The girls (along with fourth Matilda Hayley Canham) share the title role in the smash hit Matilda the Musical, and have earned accolades (and Olivier Awards!) for their performances. Based on Roald Dahl’s classic book of the same name, the hit tuner is gearing up to head to Broadway beginning March 4, 2013. Featuring music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly, Matilda is the story of a young girl who unleashes magical powers on her nasty parents and evil headmistress.
