When I saw the Veruca Ballet when I tell you my stomach DROPPED, it was like my body forgot this was theatre and had a visceral reaction to this LOL

Honestly, the Veruca Salt sequence is 10/10 theater. Bold, innovative, great choreo.

I’m so confused because this sounds really good 🧐 like choices were made it emphasized honestly how scary I think Wonka factory is

"Willy wonka is just a saw movie" was not a note the director should have taken to heart

I’m only two seconds in but I already know you’re going to talk about veruca’s ballet

This sounds a lot like the book, which was NOT child friendly

KOCoyote :
That's so wild because in book, it's made expressly clear that none of the kids die. In the original film, it's vague, but more or less assumed everyone is alive, if changed, by the end.

Isabella D. :
The fact that, when I saw the show, I warned the families around me to close the kids’ eyes when the pretty ballerina ran offstage (and for some reason THEY SOLD STUFFED SQUIRRELS AS MERCH?!)

agree that young children should not see this BUT even in dahl’s tamer works, his style of absurdist body horror is kind of always present— this and minchin’s matilda really capture that, imo.

Emily 🥀 :
I need parents to look into the shows they bring their kids/family members too, and never make assumptions based on the title/original material it’s based off of.

It was like two different shows between act 1 and act 2, going from a boring generic musical to a fever dream

Rec Encyclopedia 🐢 :
Honestly I can only respect them for going back to the roots of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, considering the book it all came from is technically a horror novel lol

This fever dream lives rent free in my head. We took my 8 year old brother to see his first Broadway show and we couldn’t have made a worse decision of show choice

I’d be so down for an animated musical this dark. Roald Dahl had incredibly dark stories. So this checks for how he wishes he could have published it tbh 😂
