The character Matilda, after debuting with humble beginnings in Roald Dahl's 1988 children's novel, has seen an audio adaptation, a feature film, a radio program, a West End/Broadway musical, and finally a film adaptation of the aforementioned musical. The movie dropped on Netflix in 2022 and featured a brand new song from the original composer Tim Minchin. This fantastic new closing song starts small and builds into an enormous and positively extraordinarily cathartic explosion of choral voices!
