REVIEW- CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

15/8/2019

Comments

 
Picture
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory has to be one of Roald Dahl’s best known creations and one that has stood the test of time. Written over 50 years ago this new stage musical adaptation shows that the story has lost none of its magical charm of hope and dreams.
With Golden tickets in hand, we stepped inside the factory walls of Wonka on the Opening night of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Her Majesty’s Theatre Melbourne.

Picture

After premiering in Sydney, this delectable treat is full of our favourite songs from the original film, including Pure Imagination, The Candy Man and I've Got a Golden Ticket, alongside a brand new, toe-tapping and ear-tickling new score. The talented cast take the audience on a magical journey and for me a journey back to my childhood. 
Picture
Image @Melbournewithkidz
The show stays true to the classic storyline following Melbourne’s talented actors Benjamin Belsey (10 years of age, Elijah Slavinskis (10), Edgar Stirling (10), Lenny Thomas (12) and Lachlan Young (13) as our favourite character Charlie Bucket, who lives with his loving mother and four ageing grandparents in a tiny rundown wooden house. Charlie dreams up magical machines that will improve their lives while waiting patiently for his yearly birthday treat, a single bar of Wonka’s Whipple Scrumptious Marshmallow Delight. Meanwhile, Mr Wonka played by the charismatic Paul Slade Smith is putting out a worldwide search for five lucky children who will find a Golden ticket to win a prized tour of his factory, with one grand prize winner receiving a lifetime supply of chocolate!

The highlight for us was the second half of the show when we see the famous Oompa Loompas for the first time, without spoiling too much, they had everyone in the audience clapping and laughing with their clever costume designs and dancing. This is a show that has no age barriers, young and old will be captivated by the performance. For those wanting to take little ones along to experience the show, I recommend the matinee session as the evening session finishes quite late into the evening.

If you loved the popular book from Roald Dahl, then we agree you'll love the stage musical. 
​
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is currently playing at Her Majesty’s Theatre and we recommend you bring the whole family and rediscover the story of Charlie Bucket and Wonka in this fantastic not to be missed musical treat here in Melbourne.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one play presented in two Parts, which are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
Picture

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Picture
The Australian cast of 42 performers will be led by Gareth Reeves as Harry Potter, Paula Arundell as Hermione Granger, Gyton Grantley as Ron Weasley, Lucy Goleby as Ginny Potter, Sean Rees-Wemyss as Albus Potter, Tom Wren as Draco Malfoy and William McKenna as Scorpius Malfoy.
