My mom, sister and myself took a day and went back in time if our childhood. It was an awesome experience. All the actors were phenomenal ESPECIALLY little Charlie! He is so talented for his age. Willie and the rest of the crew couldn’t be better! They really made the play enjoyable and comical.
Truly and awesome experience, from everyone involved, to the comparison with today like lifestyles. What an awesome script, and they took NOTHING away from the original. They only added great seasoning full of laughs and joy!
A regular to shows we are often leary of a remake or revision of a classic. This one hit the mark on all levels with new more modern themes, some new songs and an amazing cast that endears you into the storyline. Highly recommend for a light, fun nigh on the town.
The young actor who played Charlie was excellent as was the actor who played Willy Wonka. The program stated intermission was 15 minutes and it was actually too long at 30 minutes. Would have preferred to see in a bit smaller theatre.
Theater was beautiful. Production was fantastic! Theater ushers are top-notch.
A great update to one of my favorite childhood memories.
Three generations in our family went to watch the show. Each of us loved it and were genuinely entertained!
Show was good, seemed a little dark at times. Loved the Oompa Loompa's.
I took my 7 year old grandson who watches Willy wonka movie all the time at our house. The play was such a wonderful experience and very memorable for both of us. The expressions and the clapping was priceless. He bought the golden ticket souvenir. Woke up the next morning singing and looking it again and agin.
My daughters (ages 10 and 7) and I enjoyed this show very much. The story, scenery, acting, and music were excellent and very entertaining. They even included a few jokes for the adults. We would definitely recommend this show to anyone!
We loved Brody’s performance as Charlie. Everything was done excellently and the overall effect was magical. Highly recommend.
If you're expecting the 1964 Gene Wilder version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of this play, this is not for you. To my disappointment great license was taken with Veruca Salt (turned into a Russian ballerina), Violet Beauregard (hip hop gum chewing bedazzled "Queen of Pop"), Mike Teavee (grunge video game/television addict that looked like a crackhead and his drug addicted mother who sang about all of the pills she took). Augustus Gloop was the most authentic character and quite delightful along with Charlie. No Slugworth to be seen and no "Fizzie Lifting Drink" scene. The stage sets were a bit sparse and relied heavily on projected screen images. Best part was the Oompa Loompas (if you don't mind the having orange hair) with gave me a few chuckles. Had high hopes for this but left empty. Sadly very little nostalgia here... Why can't they leave well enough alone without having to put "their mark" on it. Don't mess with perfection.
Had a wonderful time. Great cast. I would see again.
I wasn’t expecting much. I’m not a big fan of the movie and we only went because we have season tickets. It was wonderful! Great costumes, creative and funny. Both kids and adults loved it!
The first half was very slow as it was all the lead up before entering the factory. Not recommended for small children just as it was hard to keep them engaged.
The talent is undeniable but the play, at 2 hours and 30 minutes, is an hour too long. The story mimics the book to a degree. But if you’re expecting any similarities with the movie, you won’t get any of it. The kids are updated with Mike TV addicted to electronics for instance. His mom pops pills and drinks too much. It’s actually cringy and unfunny. Augustus Gloop is the funniest. But you’ll feel a slight twinge of guilt as the joke is how fat he is. And you’ll be laughing. I had to fight to stay awake as it just dragged on and on. The entire first half is outside the factory. Charlie is mainly in his house with the grandparents and his mom. It’s just way too long and the talent can’t save it.
Charlie and the chocolate factor surpassed my family's and my expectations, it was very entertaining, the visuals were amazing and the musicality pitch perfect! I loved the entire show.
It was amazing! It is a show for all ages. If you enjoy Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder you will enjoy this live performance.
We got to the event 1 1/2 hours before start time. Was told we couldn't go in until 1 hour before. Then when we were let in we were told again we cant sit until 30 minutes before. But because they were not ready we were not allowed in until 10 minutes before the show started. 2 songs were sung and show stopped for technical difficulties.show was good but not happy with the rudeness of the security guards who talked at the doors during entire show.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory updated presentation was excellent and extremely entertaining. The actors were powerful in singing and character performance in their roles. Whether they were the main or supporting roles, everyone contributed to a great experience. The main characters of Willie Wonka and Charlie Bucket were outstanding.
