A really fun show - Wonka (Douglas Hodge) sparkled casting his magic over the show. Charlie (Keir Edkins O'Brien) was charming - he stole my heart - you could see why Wonka wanted him to get the factory! Always a concern having a musical with so many children, but they were excellent and the quality of acting and singing impressive.

This is a show which I would 100% recommend to see. A show for all the family, it is full of imaginative visual effects and scenery. The children in the show upstage the adults with their different personalities which they play with superb conviction. The entire show is a delight from start to finish and I feel that it will be on, in the West End, for a very long time.

This is an amazing adaptation of the book- better and a more accurate reproduction than both films. Strong performances throughout, the five children were excellent, Douglas Hodge captured Wonka's mixture of uncertainty, cynicism, romantic and confidence with great aplomb. Nigel Planer was the star though with a fantastic performance. Very clever use of special effects, very strong musical score which bought the book up to the current day and costumes bright, high quality and perfect for each character. This is a very special show and will go on to achieve much recognition.

A truly memorable experience. Amazing production and direction. If these are the previews can't wait to see it 12 months on it will be the best in the West End

My mother and I (20 years old) have just got back from the show, and we both have the WOW factor, i have seen many but this is by far the best in London.... i can only say go see for yourself.

Prepare to be blown away buy the magical sets, laugh with the oompah lumpahs and marvel as Willy Wonka takes you on a magical carpet ride of emotions.
