Yes! We had great success with our high school performance of Matilda. We simply costumed the adults as adults and the children as children and it worked beautifully. Easy suspension of disbelief, even with our Matilda being 5' 7"! Size was only really a consideration in casting Trunchbull - fortunately, we had a female actor with serious pipes who was a large presence physically as well. Such an awesome show - have fun!
