I’ve posted the Top 50 Musicals over the last couple of days, and now it’s time to look at all shows that have been submitted - 275 in total! Thank you for participating and submitting your lists, this was great fun
The scores (given in brackets) were calculated as follows: #1 received 10 points, #2 received 9 points,…, and #10 received 1 point, resulting in 55 points per entry/list. Incomplete and anonymous entries were discounted.
I ranked the musicals up to #102 (16 points), all shows which scored 15 points or less are merely listed. The logos you can see here represent musicals that weren’t mentioned even once.
most of the time i don’t enjoy the trend of assigning a sexuality/condition/disorder to characters, i understand why people do it but uuhh it’s not really for me. BUT the idea that matilda is autistic appeals to me 100% because well. yeah. she’s autistic. have you seen the musical. it’s all there.
Matilda Wormwood is an extraordinary child with a sharp mind and vivid imagination who will stand up to take charge and change her story.
