What's the age of the group? Unless they're VERY young children -- so young that they probably shouldn't be going to a Broadway show anyway -- I really don't think there's anything in MATILDA that would be troublesome, and I'm surprised you'd think there would be. At any rate, many people (including me) have said that they have a great deal of trouble understanding the lyrics and even some of the book in MATILDA. So even if there is some "profanity," the kids probably won't be able to make out what they're singing or saying ;-)

I'm guessing it's not what the age of the children is, it's what the school is requiring. I'm not surprised he asked - some schools are very restrictive (and I've only listened to the cast recording a couple of times, but I couldn't tell you if there is any profanity and your final comment was the first thing that came to mind!).
