Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Musical at Birmingham Hippodrome
Grab your bag of everlasting gobstoppers, clutch your golden tickets tight and dive into a world of pure imagination with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Musical.
The hit West End and Broadway show has come to the Birmingham Hippodrome to deliver one of the most colourful, joyous and riotously funny performances you are bound to see this year.
Reigniting the love for the classic 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder, this stage show brings the wow factor, leaving you as open-mouthed as the first time you peeked inside the chocolate room.
Mixing classic songs from that film – Candy Man and Pure Imagination – with new songs from the writers of Hairspray, this show brings Roald Dahl’s classic novel – 60 years old next year – back to life.
While Timothy Chalamet and Hugh Grant are going to resurrect the characters back on the silver screen in ‘Wonka’ this Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Musical will remind you why you fell in love with the story in the first place.
