They also are using an NPR quote that I have been unable to find. The quote is "A marvelous show for everyone! YOU'RE GUARANTEED TO HAVE A BALL!" - NPR

"

I think I MAYBE found where this pull quote came from:

This review from "Long Island's only NPR Station" contains the lines " Well, we finally have a terrific show for kids under 12 and in fact, have a marvelous show for anyone still living." and " So take your kids or any children for that matter and go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I guarantee they and you will have a ball."

The CHARLIE powers that be do realize that it's 2017 and we all have Google, right?

I find it sad the only two quotes they could gather are from either an old article or from "Long Island's Only NPR Station", which, btw, ended their review with "Oompa Loompa!".

Since he shaved his head for this show.

 

Yet another reason I feel sorry for the guy.  A year with that look - and not even worth it!

Just saw this pull quote on the official website:

"A GLORIOUSLY DEMENTED Christian Borle as Willy Wonka!" 

- New York Times

Ha ha!! That will sell tickets!

Thanks!, 29 pages?  So are there discounts yet?  At work so can't go through 29 pages of stuff.....  Sounds like stubhub might be a better bet right now though based on the so-so reviews.....

Ken- you would be better off taking him to the M+M store in Times Square- save yourself a lot of money.

We're going anyway.  Figured he might enjoy it more than us though......

Random thought I had to share

Saw the show a few weeks ago. During the song where we meet Augustus "More of Him to Love"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZi3JEJGPNY

I was immediately reminded of a song from the  movie "Big Business" starring Bette Midler

anyone else?
