Curtain call Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Christian Borle, the best thing in this production, wielded his brand of magic to anchor the show but you have to wait till Act 2. Umpa-lumpas were cute and fun. The spoiled golden-ticketed kids were entertaining and the scores serviceable.
Negatives: Staging was embarrassing…no wow, just dull. Asking the audience to imagine a fantastical world doesn't work. We needed to be visually transported to Wonka world. When a very large square and bare stage appeared, I got hopefully...maybe a “Curious Incident of the Dog” type 3-D graphics was gonna happen. Nope, you literally had to exercise your "imagination," one of the main songs. Last note, we all thought the lead “Charlie” was miscast.
The show is probably fine for a family night out. If it wasn’t for Oliver (he thought it was just ok), I would have passed on this. *
*Jake Ryan Flynn (Charlie) was blocked by a very tall man so I chose not to include his curtain. Sorry Jake.
Christian Borle, Jake Ryan Flynn, John Rubinstein, Emily Padgett, Ben Crawford, Kathy Fitzgerald, Alan H Green, Jackie Hoffman, Trista Dollison, F Michael Haynie, Emma Pfaeffle, Michael Wartella.

i know this production wasn't as extravagant as the WE but this one was definitely more fun & honestly... it's a show for kids. let it be for kids

[@dramedycorner1173]

a texan well... knowing that the "kids" get brutally killed in the show, I wouldn't say this is just for "kids"

[@arielvillademayo]

Dramedy Corner They are not killed. They survived.

I saw the show twice (once from the front row) and it was glorious beyond description. I loved every second! It was the greatest experience of my life! I even met Christian Borle and got a picture with him.

[@hawktalon7890]

It would be nice, especially since other shows which have stopped touring have gotten the film treatment. Ex. Shrek the Musical.

[@carloscaninolomba8890]

WE WENT TO THIS SHOW AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!! MY DAUGHTER WENT AND GOT MOST OF THE ACTORS' AUTOGRAPH, BUT CHRISTIAN, WE WENT 3 DAYS IN A ROW TO SEE IF WE WERE LUCKY, BUT HAD TO LEAVE NY WITHOUT IT. CONGARTULATION TO CHRISTIAN BORLE AND ALL THE CAST. WE HOPE TO SEE HIM NEXT TIME!!!!!

[@123krevis]

Carlos Canino Lomba we went 2 weeks ago, and I'm beginning to see a trend in Christian not coming out the stage door. I don't blame him bc he's amazing, and everyone would bombarde him and overwhelm him. Still kinda sucks tho 🤷‍♀️

[@emmarose5404]

Look at the end Christian Borle starts out dancing with Charlie then he turns around and Charlie isn’t sure what to do!! XD

[@beestapz]

so far i've only heard bad things about this musical but i'll probably still end up seeing it bc i love christian borle

[@123krevis]

Shelby No matter what Broadway show I see, I always leave feeling like it was the best thing ever (because Broadway obviously) so I may be a little biased but I thought it was awesome! And Christian was amazing as always.

[@ashleywalton2758]

Shelby I'm not sure why there would be so many negative reviews, it's a really great show. you can't compare it to London much, cause they made it their own thing in New York!

[@jennavanellia8584]

Shelby it's worth it, it's not bad at all, and Christian ties the whole production together

[@devotedcetacean6568]

Shelby i dont know why bad things are said i saw it and ut was amazing

[@dapperspirit3665]

@@Jammaverse I think it was more appropriate for them to cast older actors for the kids considering how most of them die.

[@tobyfinney768]

MalloryKateLife on broadway they used adults for the kids which is sort of a bummer I guess. The show was good and I liked the songs, but IMO in seemed a bit lacklustre compared to the London one. The set most of the time was just a box that they walked in and some of the best songs were removed/altered. It was still good overall though.

[@michaellee8858]

@@tobyfinney768 they used adults for the others as a kind of metaphor for Charlie and his innocence as a child. Also its easier for adults to play bratty kids

How did you record this? Im seeing the show in november and would like to record a song or two but i read that cameras are forbiden from the lunt fontanne theatre

[@BuddyBroadway]

I dont record the show. this is the curtain call. you should not be recording the show.

[@billysmith4867]

why is it illegal to record the shows? I've always wanted to know that.

[@julialabusch9403]

It's basically stealing. The people watching don't pay for it, so no one involved gets any benefit. In fact, it hurts every single person who works on a show because that's one less ticket sold. It's also incredibly disrespectful to the people who put their heart and soul into every line, to just have someone record the whole thing instead of actually paying attention.

[@liliawolf1621]

Sword-Wielding-Gamer I think that recording a showismt the worst thing in the world as lomg as you dont have flash or anything on and you arent distracting actors and audience. but I think you should only watch bootlegs if the show ismt on Broadway anymore or if its like Hamilton which has been on for a very long time and is expected to go on later.
