Great singing, Great acting, Disappointing, Indulgent, Entertaining

See it if Christian Borle gives a wonderful performance as Willy Wonka , so does the kid playing Charlie, Ryan Sell. That it lacks imagination is sad.

Don't see it if You like bigger sets, more elaborate staging, and more magic.

Entertaining, Funny, Disappointing

See it if You like the overall story and are bringing a family

Don't see it if You want a spectacle. The set was basically nonexistent. Also the show is LOUD, lots of yelling and screaming.

Disappointing, Slow

See it if you don't mind mediocre, uninspired cash-grab musicals like this one

Don't see it if you want to see something where all the creators are working on the same show, and working at the top of their game Read more

Entertaining, Funny

See it if child friendly. Colourful. entertaining.

Don't see it if I think my problem with the show is that it lacked any emotional depth. I didn't really feel for any of the characters. Slapstick.

Disappointing, Overrated

See it if You haven't seen the movie, you have children, or you want to give something different a chance.

Don't see it if You will expect the movie or the magic. Thats not there
