Roald Dahl’s treasured tale is now Broadway’s Golden Ticket! It’s the perfect recipe for a delectable treat: songs from the original film, including “Pure Imagination,” “The Candy Man” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” alongside a toe-tapping and ear-tickling new score from the songwriters of Hairspray.
And who better to conjure up this confectionary wonder than three-time Tony Award®-winning director JACK O’BRIEN, the Grammy® and Tony-winning songwriters of Hairspray, MARC SHAIMAN and SCOTT WITTMAN, and internationally acclaimed playwright, DAVID GRIEG.
Willy Wonka is opening his marvelous and mysterious chocolate factory…to a lucky few. That includes Charlie Bucket, whose bland life is about to sweeten with color and confection beyond his wildest dreams. He and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a mesmerizing joyride through a world of pure imagination. Now’s your chance to experience the wonders of Wonka like never before—get ready for Oompa-Loompas, incredible inventions, the great glass elevator and more, more, more at this everlasting showstopper!
Our family attended with my now young adult sons and one teen son, they absolutely Loved it!!!!! My sons loved to watch the original and the one with J. Depp, and they thought this one was Hilarious! Great performance, would see it again if we had a chance!
Actors were incredible. Made me laugh so much. So entertaining. Loved it
I am horrified that they would Rip apart a child on stage. Very disturbing. Would not recommend. The director is completely to blame. The actors were Extremely good and the music was fantastic. I would have loved the show otherwise.
Overall fun .... Oompa Loompas stole the show. Charlie's chaRacter was well done as well as Willy wonka . Was offended by adult words .. not necessary
Excellent display, all the family love the singing and the humor.
Great acting especially by it's lead star Willie Wonka. I loved the show and understood the minimalist approach to the various set designs but I thought they were all very lackluster. When Willie shows everyone his candy factory it is just a small square float decked out in cheap looking chocolate stuff. Broadway should be spectacular and wow and their sets were anything but.
Absolutely amazing! If you want to see something different...this os your show!
I have seen multiple shows but, Charlie Chocolate Factory was by far, the Best of them all. It was SUPERB!
This was the third time I saw the production and I loved it just as much as the first time I saw it!!! My friend, whom I told she had to see it, loved it too..... hoping to see it again a fourth time!!! FANTASTIC!!!!
There are 3 kids that play Charlie Bucket. We thought Ryan Foust the one at the performance we saw was absolutely amazing. Great poise and voice and energy. Christian Borle as Willie doesn't really do much in the first act but is wonderful in the second act where he does more. Would have liked to see the play have more Willie stuff in the first act. Would have liked to hear Imagination again. Only once is not enough. Play was great fun and the sets were imaginative. Lots of kids in the audience- would have liked to have them reappear at the end of the play as part of the play so the kids in the audience wouldn't think they all actually had terrible deaths.
We thought the show was amazing and exceeded our expectations! We would all go to see it again!
An absolutely brilliant play! Would recommend to anyone! One of the best plays we've ever seen! We want to see it again :)
Overall good. We really enjoyed the creative wall designs (pipes and chutes) outside the theatre on the way in. Chris Borle (Willy Wonka) and Jake Flynn (Charlie Bucket) and John Rubinstein (GRANDPA JOE) were very good. It was disappointing that older actors played the other children for this performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Charlie was so good it would have been wonderful to see some other child stars. Using the life size squirrels to rip Veruca "limb by limb" seemed so unnecessary rather than send her down the chute. While I could appreciate some of the adult language/sarcasm, a lot of it was unnecessary as well given families are bringing their kids for entertainment. The show could stand on its own without these additions. The inventing room with Mike Teavee was my favorite - creative and nicely done! The edible "chocolate room" scene, the glass elevator, the Wonka costume on Charlie for curtain call - all great!
I have children of all ages and they were sitting at the edges of their seats!!! They simply could not get enough. It was clean, appropriate, and entertaining. We really enjoyed!
The show was so much like a mix of the two movies and the book. The acting was absolutely amazing. The oopaloompas were hilarious giving the show a dark twist. And the adult humor throughout the show gave some relief to the adults.
Chose Charlie and the chocolate factory because its a childhood favourite of my wifes. Special occasion spent in New York so visit to a Broadway show was a must. Excellent choice. Thoroughly recommended. 9 out of 10. Why not 10? Because they don't sell ice cream in the intermission. Ha!
Great voices, fine acting, a lot of stage tricks, very good music. We enjoyed it very much
I thought the show is amazing. I loved the entire cast especially Christian Borle (Willy Wonka) and Jake Ryan Flynn (Charlie). I would add walls around the "Maze of Deadly traps" scene to divide the areas. Overall I think my favorite parts are Augustus' first scene and when the Oompa Loompas first came out. I wish I would come back and see the show again.
Awesome show! Christian as Wonka was amazing. Violets dad was GENUIS. The oompa loompas were hilarious
My daughter (age 7) and I enjoyed this show. I thought it was well put together. Although, the set with the chocolate river was small, I think the entirety of the Chocolate Factory and the spin on what happened to the misbehaving children made up for this. The paper airplane effect was awesome as we sat front mezz dead center. The actors were all great. It had an original feel and we were not disappointed.
