Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Sam Mendes directed musical currently at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden, is not just for kids.
Although we can promise you it will make you feel like a child again…
The magic of this show is down to the incredible stagecraft and a bunch of extremely talented children.
You'll watch in wonder as the stage is transformed into a chocolate garden, a labyrinthine factory, a four dimensional television set and a flying great glass elevator.
A stellar cast of hugely talented young actors bring the parts of Charlie Bucket, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Augustus Gloop and Mike Teavee to life, while Charlie's family and Willy Wonka himself are as weird and wonderful as Roald Dahl intended.
One word of warning, however: you will need chocolate before, during and after the show, so go prepared.
