I don't know the answer to the question asked about Matilda. But I think there is a lot of great theatre that is appropriate for children. I would recommend that instead of a Broadway show, you investigate the wondrous New Victory Theatre on 42nd Street. They present many different kinds of shows (musicals, straight plays, dance pieces and many that can hardly be classified). Some of the shows are geared towards younger kids, some older. The theatre can help you pair up a show that's right for your group. And the shows, in my experience, are very intelligent, and do not talk down to kids. Needless to say, they are profanity free. And the prices will be a lot better, too. If you are still determined to see a Broadway show, Cinderella is safe, The Lion King probably is (it's been years, though). Also a good choice, if they are teens is The Fantasticks off-Broadway. If no one here posts an answer about Matilda, I'd call the theatre tomorrow and see if you can speak to one of the house management. They would know.
