Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The Media Theatre · Media, PA
A family-friendly stage musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, presented as a Sunday matinee at The Media Theatre.
Expect a full-scale musical staging of Wonka's factory with colorful sets, songs from the Shaiman/Wittman score plus the classic film numbers, and a theater full of kids and parents reacting to each golden-ticket reveal. As a 3:00 PM Sunday matinee near the end of a holiday-season run, the crowd skews toward families and grandparents, with a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere rather than a late-night one. The 440-seat house is intimate enough that the on-stage spectacle and character entrances land close to the audience.
