Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The Media Theatre · Media, PA
A family-friendly matinee staging of the Roald Dahl musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, following Charlie Bucket and four other golden-ticket winners through Willy Wonka's factory.
Expect a full-scale musical production in a historic 440-seat theater, with elaborate sets, songs from the Broadway version, and a crowd thick with kids and grandparents. The afternoon matinee timing makes it an easy, unhurried outing, and the show's parade of eccentric characters and candy-colored spectacle is built to hold younger attention spans. Audiences can anticipate a cheerful, applause-heavy couple of hours rather than anything edgy or experimental.
