Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical (UK Tour) London Reviews and Tickets

See it if You're looking for a nice family day out - everything is passable about it (Willy Wonka is played excellently) and the props are creative.

Don't see it if You don't like the original story or are expecting big sets for the chocolate factory - the show relied a lot on a digital screen to do this

See it if You enjoy the books and movies of this show! Really fun show but was dissapointed. Didn’t live up to expectations.

Don't see it if You want the exact same as the original version or movie

See it if You like the story but go in with low expectations. The songs are very weak but the story you love is there.

Don't see it if You love a strong musical and strong songs. There are better adaptations of Roald Dahl!!

See it if you have young kids that like the storyline and want something easy to watch

Don't see it if you are wanting to see something magical

See it if Could be good or young theatre goers.

Don't see it if You want to see a good adaptation. Songs were forgettable and overall not a good musical

See it if enjoy the book/film, want a colorful production and like a musical that rely a lot only on the singing and not on the scenarios etc

Don't see it if you’re expecting a big production, almost don’t have any special effects and rely a lot on projections… also the Oompa Loompas are quite bad

See it if you have young children who love the story.

Don't see it if you are expecting a high quality show like Matilda.

See it if You are a fan of the book or films and want to see another version, or just want a fun family show with great young actors.

Don't see it if You want to see lots of imaginative staging or if you are a fan of the Oopma Loompas, who are much less impressive here than in past media. Read more
