English actress Emma Thompson is busy promoting the long-awaited Matilda musical movie, but she’s also busy putting together the premiere of her much anticipated Nanny McPhee musical. The show is apparently scheduled to open in the West End in 2023, based on the popular film franchise, which was inspired by the brilliant Nurse Matilda character.
