Hoping to wipe any memories of Tim Burton’s shocking big-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s iconic children’s novel, CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, we have the extended trailer for Sam Mendes’ stage production currently showing in London’s Dury Lane Theatre.
The Oscar-winning AMERICAN BEAUTY and SKYFALL director has given Dahl’s celebrated tale a brand new musical spin, with a host of original songs as well as a number from Mel Stuart’s 1971 colourful classic WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY starring Gene Wilder in his terrific role of the eccentric Candy Man. Our very own Victoria Bull recently attended the premiere and you can read her report, as well as her review of the show by clicking on the links.
CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY stars Douglas Hodge, Nigel Planer, Clive Carter, Jasna Ivir, Paul J Medford, Iris Roberts, Billy Boyle, Roni Page, Myra Sands and Alex Clatworthy. It’s is currently booking until May 2014 and you can do so here.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
