He also created this version. The rest are just photo copies. Wearing the costume rather than inhabiting the physique. It was impossible to recast with anyone that came close. God he was great
I never knew this role was. Guy I've never seen it before but like if I had just been listening and even watching that sounded like a woman! Yooo Carvel is awesome. Came here from the Parade album 😅
I saw the original cast of Matilda in London when I was a kid, and Bertie Carvel had the entire theatre in stitches whenever he was onstage. I still remember his performance better than anything else about the show ten years later! Without a doubt the Trunchbull with the best comedic chops - though I have high hopes for Emma Thompson in the upcoming movie. :)
All the actors are brilliant, but for Bertie to originate the role (in all three "main" productions, no less) with such an iconic and perfect performance it must be difficult for those following him to give an interpretation that fits the character while not feeling like it's "copying" Bertie. Also, I've always wondered, did Bertie gradually change the voice he did for the character over the years, or was it a conscious change for the transfer to Broadway?
Notice how Bertie Carvel is the only during The Smell of Rebellion flicking his leg up and down and does a little double bounce before flicking his leg up again, all the other actors just flick their legs up and down. I think they all perform as Miss Trunchbull really well and add their own values and quirks to the characters. Such as Charles Brunton walking with his legs bent and leaning forwards or backwards, emphasizing the madness of the character. Or even the anger Christopher Sieber adds to Miss Trunchball, or some notes Bryce Ryness hits when performing. They are all equally as amazing to me for their own reasons.
Bertie Carvel is such a chameleon. I saw him on Saturday playing Donald Trump and he was completely unrecognisable and convincing. And very lovely when I met him after.
I may be a Carvel loyalist but I really feel that only Bertie fully manages to load that slyness into his face and a silky lightness into his voice that contrasts with Trunchbulls huge body. It's like the pointy nose in the Blake drawings; the idea is that there's a very mean, small, sarcastic person inside this ogress. It's not just roaring and trampling, there's gaslighting and persuasion in there too. Because that's fascism.
you know the more I listen to Bryce the more I love how nasty the execution is in relation to mimicking the instrumental ornamentation of a jazzy dragging brass sound. Also what a strain on the vocals before finishing with that high note. sheesh! that's some serious skill.
I love Christopher sieber mainly because they were the first one that I saw but I really love how they bring opera singing and they have a really great delivery even though people say that they’re less feminine, I don’t really care I think he did an amazing job, singing, wise and comedic wise
Ope throwback to when I, a smol boi got cast as the Trunchbull and had to wear a fatsuit and I almost passed out during the first dress rehearsal from heat exhaustion
my son loves to sing trunchball and he also has the ribbon and the costume! we are waiting for some medals to arrive with his costume (he already has made his own trunchball costume).
bertie and bryce are the best as much as i love emma thompson and it would be asking audiences to suspend disbelief...bertie shouldve played trunchbull in the movie
@@childrenaremaggots1969 I would presume to accomodate his vocal range. A small shift of key can make all the difference for a performer. While it's not common practice but producers approving the expense of such a change means someone otherwise perfect for the role is able to be cast.
Honestly besides Emma Thompson, I feel like Bertie felt the most convincing and natural playing a woman. The others just felt like a man clearly playing a woman. Nothing against them though because I’m sure they put their all into the role.

Carvel.......... because he still manged to keep a a certain amount of femininity in the character
I saw his version it was better than the ones I’ve seen
phrase bertie is amazing. Amber
He also created this version. The rest are just photo copies. Wearing the costume rather than inhabiting the physique. It was impossible to recast with anyone that came close. God he was great

How did you feel about Emma Thompson? I for one was shocked how good she was!
@@forrestpenrod2294 She was BRILLIANT. Absolutely hilarious and completely got the vibe of Trunchbull.
Bertie I only saw once but saw him in London we took a picture😊
@@forrestpenrod2294great prosthetics. Nothing added that hadn’t been achieved by Bertie. It’s untouchable his performance

He changed the voice?
@@lukewallis3376 It's more feminine on Broadway than it was in Stratford.
@@finleyforevermore
Wait what do you mean by then have you seen the show in Stratford or
Christopher Sieber looks the best as The Trunchbull, but Bertie Carvel sounds the best
dude agree!
Why is Bertie the only one who seems to even try to sound like a woman?

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate and Stan Bryce Ryness’ note here!😍😍 10:05
He’s amazing. What note was he hitting there?
I believe I don’t know
@@AlexVeldkamp it’s a b4
i feel so bad that the prop felllll he did so good
@@toysandevaI guess the price to pay for opting up on a note is a mishap- 😅

BERTIE CARVEL is the best miss trunchball!!!
I'm pretty sure the role of BEST Miss Trunchbull goes to Pam Ferris 😂
@@ConcealedWeaponry Absolutely!
Thank you for all of you playing miss Trunchbull incredible job for singing the hammer all those times
7:04 my fav ornamentation and phrasing
Could you please do the thripp throw compilation?
Bertie is my favourite trunchbull in the world
Thans so much for making this! This was helpful for me as I am rehearsing the role.
Bryce Ryness is pretty bloody good
bertie carvel is obv the best
I think Christopher Sieber is my favourite definitely
Same
Bertie Carvel,Charles Brunton,Bryce Ryness, and Christopher Sieber are my four favorites
That phrasing by Alex Gaumond tho!!!!🤒🤒🤒😅👍👍👍
7:04
Carvel is brilliant, Sieber is hilarious, and Ryness is really growing on me. Still have to give the crown to Carvel though
The fact i have to play her in my theatres production scares me
How’d it go?
Oh it was great!!!!
I seen Christopher sieber in the USA Matilda VERY GOOD
I'm going to that country when I'm older living there from UK to usa
October 2017, in London, whoever you were sir, absolutely brilliant.
bertie carvel
@@rastamouse3624 No, I’m pretty sure it was Craig Els.
I saw it on the west end around the same time and it was Craige Els! Fab
I love Christopher sieber mainly because they were the first one that I saw but I really love how they bring opera singing and they have a really great delivery even though people say that they’re less feminine, I don’t really care I think he did an amazing job, singing, wise and comedic wise
Seiber and Bertie are my fave XD ❤️😍
David Leonard is my fave!! xx
Ope throwback to when I, a smol boi got cast as the Trunchbull and had to wear a fatsuit and I almost passed out during the first dress rehearsal from heat exhaustion
Is being trunchbull good I'm auditioning for it but I dont know
yea it was so fun you should definitely go for it!
Bertie and Bryce are my favs🥰🥰
She looks like mrs tweedy from chicken run
I love this video!
Christopher and Bertie are the best
Agreed Christopher and Bertie are so good 😍😀👍
there all so good (also emma tompson in the film)
Just curious why Ben Thompson isn’t in this compilation? He played her on broadway for quite a while I believe.
Wendy Brown because there’s no video of him
@@shesmydoctor there is but it's just a short clip
Why did u not add hammer throw as bonus 👿
@@shesmydoctorwhyy
Voice is Emma thompson
Can you share the Christopher Sieber video with me? I'd like to use it for something
my son loves to sing trunchball and he also has the ribbon and the costume! we are waiting for some medals to arrive with his costume (he already has made his own trunchball costume).
The best ones are david Bryce Christopher and bertie❤
And Charles
Bryce's End note just wins IMO
Yes that’s what it’s all about isn’t it 🤦🏻♀️
Bertie Carvel of course.
bertie and bryce are the best
as much as i love emma thompson and it would be asking audiences to suspend disbelief...bertie shouldve played trunchbull in the movie
I have to play her everyday but I love it
the bonus one called the gymnastics
Where did you find the video of Bryce Ryness at?
Look at Google she might have it I hope😎
While Bertie Carvel is still my fave, Bryce Ryness was SO GOOD
It's between Carvel or Ryees for me, but honestly theyre all really impressive, as it's such a demanding role.
But my second favourite is Bertie
Where did you find the Christopher Sieber film?
I think they traded it or something
@@childrenaremaggots1969 I agree
did they change the key for david abeles in smell of rebellion?
Yes it's lower.
@@TheMaestroCraig but why?
@@childrenaremaggots1969 I would presume to accomodate his vocal range. A small shift of key can make all the difference for a performer. While it's not common practice but producers approving the expense of such a change means someone otherwise perfect for the role is able to be cast.
David Albert is actually one of my favourites because it has a different tune its my type of tune🤯
I saw Alex Gaumond twice in London :)
do you know if theres a full clip of carvel’s performance of the smell of rebellion?
Honestly besides Emma Thompson, I feel like Bertie felt the most convincing and natural playing a woman. The others just felt like a man clearly playing a woman. Nothing against them though because I’m sure they put their all into the role.
Definitely Bryce Ryness

Bertie Carvel because he sounds more feminine than the others
I think she should have been sung by Dylan Mulvaney.
П
She was played by a man?
Yes
@@AnathexAdventurer cool
In the movie, no but in the musical, yes! Idk why though...
Every trunchbull was a man, now we have to call mrs trunchbull “mr trunchbull”
