Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The Media Theatre · Media, PA
A family-friendly matinee of the Roald Dahl musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, staged at The Media Theatre as part of its holiday-season run.
Expect a full-scale musical production of the Willy Wonka story, with the golden-ticket contest, the factory tour, and the Oompa-Loompa numbers played out live on stage in a 440-seat historic theater. A 2:00 PM weekend matinee draws a mixed crowd of families with kids, grandparents, and theater regulars, so the atmosphere is relaxed and vocal rather than formal. Some performances have included a Wonka bar giveaway with golden tickets hidden inside, adding a small participatory thrill before the show.
