AMAZING PRODUCTION

A truly memorable experience. Amazing production and direction. If these are the previews can't wait to see it 12 months on it will be the best in the West End

SUPERB SHOW

Went to see this with my 5 and 7 year old children. They thought it was wonderful and were absolutely captivated from start to finish. The sets and special effects were amazing. I would thoroughly recommend this show.

YES

Two white haired golden oldies went to see the afternoon preview today [ grandson was on half term holiday with mum and dad so missed it ! ] we loved it. The wit in the script is divine, child actors youthful but mature. The Charlie we saw was exceptional, his voice a delight to listen to.The costumes and sets are fantastic from the initial distant smoking chimneys to the emotion of the set with the great glass elevator,all worked well on different levels.It was not pantomime but worked like the best trad panto does, something for everyone. I found the use of the TV super but will not say more so it remains a surprise for the next 10 years. A little tweak of joy to the end would give it 5 gold stars.I want to see it again.[ I want,I want, I want !]

CRACKING NEW WEST END ARIVAL!

This is an amazing adaptation of the book- better and a more accurate reproduction than both films. Strong performances throughout, the five children were excellent, Douglas Hodge captured Wonka's mixture of uncertainty, cynicism, romantic and confidence with great aplomb. Nigel Planer was the star though with a fantastic performance. Very clever use of special effects, very strong musical score which bought the book up to the current day and costumes bright, high quality and perfect for each character. This is a very special show and will go on to achieve much recognition.

AMAZING

This was by far the best show I have seen. My kids absolutely loved it, it was really funny in places and the effects was spectacular. So much so, my son wanted to come back the next day. The actors were great and a well directed pshow by Sam Mendes. A must for families !!

FANTASTIC

I, a 67year old pensioner,my 35 year old daughter and my 7 year old grandson went to see this show and we were not disappointed. As a regular theatre goer I think I have experienced all genre of theatre for both adult and child audiences. I thought this was the best production I have ever seen. The scenery was brilliant and the acting great. We all would love to see it again.
