THIS is my Roman Empire. Like…..what were these kids on??? OMG I live for

A lot of people are talkin about voice cracks and things-imo for the kids-these kids are what, 8-11 at most? It takes unbelievable memory and breath control to sing/enunciate while dancing full out on a possibly unfamiliar stage. I commend these kids cause Revolting children (this specific version) is one of my favorites. Love the chord switch when the big kids come on stage. This is such a fun production and I commend everyone for this job well done

We applauded the choreographer forever

i often come back to this video to admire how the creators of this number (i mean specifically this tony performance) went out of their way to put every single swing in the number - even giving them that special moment with miss honey. i don't know that i've ever seen another show do this before at the tony awards & it's always always stuck with me. <3

Randomly remembered this video five years later and once again have full body chills.

This performance was honestly so amazing, people like to point out little mistakes but let’s look at the overall picture, these kids were able to get on stage and not only sing amazingly but preform an extremely entertaining act with much personality! It’s so cool to see how talented they are and it went very well! Side note: it was so cute when they were all just scootering around stage 😭

The “and draw rude pictures on the board” kid is an icon 1:26

[wojciechmatyszkiewicz]

Oona is so cute here with all her smirks and this hairdo is simply spot on

[TicTac]

This is the best Tony preference I’ve seen ever

[truetexan]

OMG!!! WOW!!! These kids are incredible, not only the singing but the intense and relatively complicated choreo WHILE singing!! Bravo 👏👏👏

[piyokako]

the revolting children performance here is better than the original and the netflix one.

4:05 I was today years old when I realized the Hereditary girl was in Matilda

[ReuvenZM]

I really think that Oona Laurence was the best Matilda in the whole Matilda musicals (including those in London)

[scarlett]

the orchastra accidentally started in a higher key apparently and the kids just rolled with it?!?!?!?1

[Frieswarofficial]

The performance, singing, and choreography 👏👏👏

[sweetpea_____]

The kids were so much more enthusiastic than the once in the movie. Oh well they all ate considering they were kids

[nerolmars]

The voice crack didn't even sound bad??? Why tf are people pointing it out? Serious-fking-ly?!?!

[ajitter]

Legitimately i love Kinky Boots, but I wish this was the winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Musical.

[delfomehlalmiron]

I just saw the movie version. This is way more epic

[a-bittersweet-tragedy]

this made me tear up god theater is so powerful. I wonder what these kids are up to now
