Episode 8: Teavee Time: Backstage at CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY with Mike Wartella

[@ariangelo2816]

Everytime Borle called him Gigglepuss I gained a year on my life

[@yoursjuli]

egg boy OH _BIG_ SAME

[@laurenelainebone]

Nothing makes me happier than Christian talking about comic books and his hair growing

[@madzwithab]

WHEN HE STARTED SINGING PURE IMAGINATION I WAS SHOOK

[@madzwithab]

AND A CHORUS LINE ARE YOU KIDDING ME MICHAEL WARTELLA.....

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

I'm loving how dad-like Christian is 😂😘❤️💕

[@AlexTheCrayChick]

when one door closes (teavee time) another one opens (book nook)

[@kerk9795]

I was not ready for 3:19. Comic BOOK NOOK. Christian looks like a Marine in this, I'm glad the hair is back.

[@margauxf.4742]

His voice while singing Pure Imagination is honestly all I will ever need to survive

[@madzwithab]

christian, sweetie, i've missed you so much

[@alexistrapp1688]

If my future boyfriend/husband is anything like Mike Wartella I will be so lucky!!! He's such an amazing dad! I really hate how when people see a parent with tattoos and their kid with them they automatically think they're trashy parents like obviously Mike is one of the best dads out there!!

[@mariamiller8308]

YAAAASSSS!!!! BOOK NOOK!!!!

[@aimeehunsinger7226]

Maria M. I was thrilled when I heard him say BOOK NOOK!

[@climbinguphill]

Maria M. I have never been so happy than the moment he screamed BOOK NOOK

[@nadiahudson482]

Maria M. I love it it game me chills Christian is the best!!

[@annaelizabeth5536]

CHRISTIAN HAS HAIR

[@misharodriguez592]

Mike Teavee was always my favorite character, but through this vlog and this show I realized how much more I love him. Thank you Mike Wartella for doing this show and doing this character justice. I love you so much and I can't wait to see the show!

[@MarcusMartn]

Mystical Misha I can't wait to see this show I heard the production is amazing 😉

[@devotedcetacean6568]

[@televisionkid7783]

[@ZoraTheberge]

[@katedonnelly2224]

[@brainrotbanana]

BOOK NOOK IS BACK AAAAHHHHH

[@sarahbell4244]

SEASON 2 PLEASE IM GOING TO MISS THIS SO MUCH

[@gmehaywood4010]

I've seen BOOK NOOK for the first time! I HAVE OFFICIALLY JOINED THE FAN CLUB GUYS

[@nathanrimalovski8742]

If they make a broadway musical about Hugh Jackman. I think Christian Borle should play Hugh Jackman

[@yemlem26]

Season 2 please please please please please please please triple please!!!!

[@bee5445]

i've never been so emotional about the end of a vlog

[@MarcusMartn]

Bella I know i get so attached to these vlogs

[@jessicalamoureux8726]

I saw the show in July. I got super prepared to see it, listening to the cast album, looking up the cast, but more importantly, getting obsessed with this series. I remember, the night I saw the show, the shrink machine wasn't working, so instead of you going down, you jumped down. I learnt that from the actual cast, since I went there with a Broadway camp, and got a q and a afterwards. You were amazing mike. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@allisongarippo3269]

poptartart I went in July and the shrink machine didn't work either. Ay maybe we went on the same night. It was truly an amazing show

[@audreysmith2603]

when i went he jumped down in the back but i assumed that he always did that until i read this comment

[@audreysmith2603]

do you know what the shrink machine actually did?

[@februaryschneck]

+Audrey Smith it opens in the middle for a trapdoor

[@jcc7508]

Yay, we got Christian Borle

[@miacubias9401]

My friend is the one who sent that awesome fan mail! 😂

[@jilldo8881]

i'm crying now

[@puppylove-qr7ti]

Just so happy to see BOOK NOOK!!!

[@katrinaali993]

His hair!!! It's back!!!

[@chrichico]

i love your rendition of this song. its so soothing and beautiful!!!! I think Jason Mraz would most likely want to cover this song as is. its perfect.

[@djne7651]

BOOK NOOK IS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!! Those good old times

[@gustavonerydg]

Can't believe this is over! One of the best backstage series I've seen. It was beautiful, very personal and funny. Congrats Mike! Gonna miss it 💔

[@Jocelyn0821]

Nooo this was my favorite backstage time so far ❤️

[@xPhantomRed]

Anastasia needs a vlog now!!

[@saraht8003]

ML YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@melindayang4718]

Hey Ramin now has more time to put more content (or do we need it?). He said he's less busy and doesn't know what to do with his time now. 😉 (Cough Cough Hint Hint broadway.com). What should the name of the vlog be?

[@xPhantomRed]

Melinda Yang I saw Anastasia last week and I was blown away by Ramin 😍 Maybe the vlog could be called "My petersburg" (if it were hosted by Derek.) The only creative name i can think of is if it were hosted by Carlone O'Connor i'd name it "the Countess and the common vlog" 😂

[@jaysongillott9106]

Agreed

[@madisonviolet768]

I freaking love BOOK NOOK!!

[@c.w.r.794]

I need MORE! Give Mike MORE! I must have MORE!

[@MyGreenLantern1]

I've been involved with local theater for over ten years and it has been the best 10 years of my life.

[@Dominic_Velasquez]

Is no one really going to talk about the fact that Christian Borle is a comic book fanboy?.......no one? Ok

[@sydneyhagen5766]

Dominic Velasquez fun fact- he wanted to be a comic book artist before he got into theatre!

[@gemarijke]

He's mentioned before and his Susan Blackwell video was even in a comic book store so it's not completely new information. Still awesome though

[@lyrakristine7431]

CHRISTIAN HAS HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hannahhamiltrash6455]

APPRECIATE THE ORCHESTRA

[@SketchySquiggles]

[@kingjameztheawesome182]

Follow up...if u can tell christian I was very sad when he didn't come out after...I had my something rotten program too for him to sign because I didn't get it there either but still love him!!

[@jacobmullins6533]

KingJamez TheAwesome He was probably too tired

[@kingjameztheawesome182]

+Jacob Mullins it was an afternooj shownwith no night show

[@katrinaali993]

KingJamez TheAwesome They do this 8 times a week - i doesn't matter if there wasn't a night show. A lot of actors don't come out and they're not obliged to.

[@kingjameztheawesome182]

+Katrina Ali that's true but still...can't blame me for being a little sad

[@killer.makeup]

i watched christian say book nook over and over and can’t stop laughing 😂

[@ellehernndz]

CHRISTIAAAANNNNN AAAAHHHH YES I LOVE THISSS sad it's over tho. :( I fell in love with the show and the cast through here 'cause I live so far from New York so I can't watch it :(
