CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

 
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Original West End Production
Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London
Wednesday 15th January 2014
 
A second Golden Ticket to Sam Mendes' triumphant production of the Roald Dahl classic after my original visit to the final preview back in June. 
 
I stand by that original review, with the only exception that the show is now slicker, more confident and even more sugary-sweet than in those early days.
 
Worth a visit for the spectacular sets alone, Douglas Hodge is also fantastically charming as the creepy Wonka. 
 
A hot ticket to a fabulous show that can be enjoyed by the entire family.  Tickets booking until November 2014...
