Excellent Show with great performances particularly that of Charlie and Willy Wonka. Drury Lane is a lovely Theatre and would highly recommend.

show as very enjoyable, first half wove the story ,second half takes you on a magical journey through the chocolate factory, Willie Wonka played with just the right amount of quirkiness Gene Wilder would have approved, Charlie Bucket was a star , Show was a delight.

Had read the good reviews and was looking forward to it. However, barring Charlie Bucket the acting was poor. Some of the songs were inaudiable as the actors/actressss shouted. The sets were excellent. I wouldn't recommend the show. Waste of money

First and foremost, the casting was excellent and without the wonderful actors, there would be no good show, whatever the storyline. The script took a slight twist to the original publication, giving the show its very own identity. It was engaging and enlightening throughout, leaving us at the edge of our seats. There was a good balance between the acting and singing, enabling the show to stay fresh throughout. All in all, a great show!

The trailer shows music from the famed 1971 film version, but fans expecting the film music will be disappointed. True Imagination is in fact the only song is included in the new stage version. Despite noble attempts, the new score is musically inferior to the 1971 version and lacks a single memorable number. Aside from that, the book translates well onto the stage. The costumes and lighting are great, and the chorus does an amazing job as Oompa Loompas. All in all, it's a fun, and funny, night out - just don't expect any of those tunes you may know and love.

Overall I thought the show was okay, I feel bad for saying so as the actors did a brilliant job I just found the songs a little tiresome and the first half quite boring. Willy Wonka was my favourite character, with Charlie and his parents a little boring / irritating. Sorry!!

Went with my 18 year old daughter and we both truly enjoyed it-acting was brilliant-lighting and stage set up was fabulous-would definitely go back-the only disappointment was we went to the location of Drury Lane street only to find out that was not the theatre and it was Catherine street it was actually on-had an extra 10 mins walk-should have been made clearer on tickets !

I liked the show very much, I was with my dad & daughter, so the ages ranged from 11yrs to 64yrs, so thats why I have recommended this show for Anyone. I would also like to say that every member of staff were so nice & helpful to us, well done to them. The only negative I would have is that the seats we chose were'nt ideal & would'nt recommend them to others. It was difficult to view all of the stage from these seats.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The music was different than the movie but was appropriate and enjoyable. Costumes were well done. Sets were fabulous. The second half was fast moving and more flashing lights and louder music. Our daughter has autism and unexpectedly ran out of the theatre during one particularly fast moving section due to sensory overload. The staff were most concerned, very helpful and understanding. They allowed us to sneak back in to vacant back row seats where our daughter could exit again as necessary, and watch the last slower part happily. Thanks to the staff!

If you are audience respect others and avoid EATING throughout and rustling sweet bags. Since when was the theatre the place to continuously EAT..... Opening set was great but then it appeared all the money was spent on that set. It became an overuse of dividing up beds and swinging them about. Many very poor very low budget moments reminding me of 1970's lack of quality shows. Diction throughout so poor you could not understand a word. Charlie was fab and the best part of the show. Certainly a million miles away in singing, dancing, acting, production and costumes to the amazing Matilda.
