Emma H. also confirmed on FaceBook. She was my first Matilda so I am extra sad she s leaving. I wonder who will give her flowers at he end of the show as she has for all the others who left?

I tried for a lottery ticket today..no luck. She is the only Matilda I missed. : (

I did see her perform live elsewhere and hopefully we will see her again in the near future.

I was wondering also about the flowers at the end of the show..

Rumor has it on Tumblr that Sophia, Oona, and Bailey all attended the show and presented Milly with flowers at the end. Milly was a wondrous Matilda, and I hope she has a fantastic career.

On a different note, however, the Newtildas are phenomenal as well, imo. Paige and Gabriella really do a swell job in their performances of the part. They, like the originals, will only continue grow stronger as they progress. Also, Ben Thompson is a FANTASTIC Miss Trunchbull.

Sophia, Oona, and Bailey were indeed there to send Milly off with flowers during curtain call. It was really sweet. Apparently the original girls were called a few days ago to see if they could make it today to surprise not just Milly, but the entire cast. No one knew any of them were going to be there and the looks on all of their faces, but especially the kids' faces, were absolutely priceless.

Yes, I was there this afternoon too and it was so touching when Sophia, Bailey, and Oona came out at the curtain call with flowers for Milly. It was so sweet when they all hugged. I'm so thankful that I was in the audience to see it. I will miss all the original Matildas.

I can't think of a better way to send Milly and the original Matilda's off than to have them all back to give her flowers. If it wasn't for my other love, NFL football, I would have been there to see it. Looking forward to seeing Ava, Paige, and Ripley as I have seen Gabriella, but nobody will replace Milly, Sophia, Bailey, and Oona.

I hope someone got a photo of that last curtain call... I love that it was a surprise for the entire cast.

According to Tumblr, Gabe Ebert is leaving on March 2, as well as six of the children. I have just purchased tickets to see the show for my fourth time. First time from the mezz.

Kiddos, twittos, peepos. I'm in Matilda for a whiiiiiiiiile. Totes happy to say that. Actors in shows audition for other stuff. Capisce?

Alice Dielens ?@LilOnBroadway Jan 21

@QueenLesli So, you'll still be there in the first two weeks of September? Because this Belgian girl is coming to NYC and wants to see you!

It seems that Oona, Sophia, Milly and Bailey are in Hollywood for the Grammy's. How fun that they can do something all together again..

Congrats again to Matilda, Motown and Kinky Boots for your nominations.

Aw, looks like none of them are going to be in Les Mis It seems on the West End though, a lot of the Matildas started off in Les Mis, i.e. Cleo Demetriou, Adriana Bertola, and there are some other ones too, so it was kind of a long shot hoping that Sophia (even though she's so little!) and Oona would go back down I guess XD Maybe we'll see McKayla Twiggs and Angeli Negron (the Young Cosettes) as Matilda in the next rotation :)

Anyone know exactly which of the kids are leaving? I've heard Jack, Emma, Erica but I've also heard that there are six. Also, anyone know which date? Jack told me he's leaving March 2nd, but someone on the board here said other kid(s) leaving the day before. That seems odd.

So Gabe's leaving?! Who's his replacement? Any word? I'd LOVE for it to be Will Chase.

Erica is playing her final performance on March 1st. Jack, Emma, Frenie, and Jared are leaving the 2nd along with Gabe Ebert. I can't fully confirm this, but been told by a good source this is correct.

So from these posts it seems pretty safe to say that 5 original cast members will be performing their last show on Sun. 3/2 @ 3:00 pm. Do they generally tend to do something special at curtain call when so many are leaving? Trying to decide which day to see the show that weekend..
