Matilda the Musical, with a national tour that's made a stop at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, may star a cadre of kids, but it is no Annie. I say that in the most positive way possible. The thought of sitting through 2 ½ hours of a children's show wasn't on the top of my list, but from the opening number, Matilda zapped that idea right out of my head.
