Tonight’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent began with a performance from the cast of Matilda the Musical before the remaining contestants took to the stage to compete for a place in the final.

So far, the series has had five live shows, and four of them have featured a musical cast performance.

The first semi-final featured the cast of I’m Every Woman — The Chaka Khan Musical. Meanwhile, for the third live show, the cast of Avenue Q performed a Westlife medley.

A week later, the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar took to the stage.

With another musical performance kicking off the show, complaints poured in from viewers who have had enough of the show’s repetitive format.

‘I hate this!’

“Please stop it with the cute kids stuff,” one user wrote on X.

“A prime reason not to go to musicals,” another person shared.

“Why is Simon Cowell always plugging crap musicals on #BGT,” a third remarked.

“I feel like every year they have a performance from Matilda at Britain’s Got Talent or have I made that up? Lol,” a fourth said.

“GOD I HATE THIS,” another declared.

‘What an opening!’

Meanwhile, others loved the performance.

“Wow, what an opening! Those kids are phenomenal,” one said.

“I recently saw @MatildaMusical at the Cambridge Theatre & it was spectacular. Great to see it featured on tonight’s @BGT, it’s FAB!” another wrote.

“Golden buzzer performance,” a third shared.
