‘Matilda the Musical’s’ Red Beret Girl Is a TikTok Sensation

In an interview with Variety, Matilda the Musical’s choreographer, Ellen Kane, whose choreography credits also include the musicals Legally Blonde, Billy Elliott, and Groundhog Day, says she never could have imagined such an overwhelmingly positive response to the “Revolting Children” dance.

“I know that dancing is popular on TikTok, but I didn’t really understand quite how popular,” she said.
