How re they gonna know about audience reviews like your, guys?I'm not an expert of bway productions, is it possible a re-opening with great changements?
You gotta admit every scene of the WestEnd version was visually enterteining and beautifully made: Charlie's house, the entrance of the factory with that big gate, the waiting room with drawers and the tall ladder, all the factory rooms, each one different from every other one. And the glass elevator at the end. Why broadway is doing this?
My god, reading all this reviews i'm afraid the show won't last too much. Even though WestEnd version had some defects it was absolutely magical and visually outstanding, what's happening to this production?
West End version surely was not cheap. The set design was incredible and magical. The sed designer it's the same of the uk version but it's also true that the theatre royal drury lane is the west end biggest stage. Having said that I'd never expect the set to be cheap or minimalist or too different from the uk version.
So they decided a great and magical show like the west end one for a minimalist one? And adding puppets? And come on what are those little clouds?! It all seems a children play
