Her gün canlı dinlemeye gidecek imkanım olsa hiç sıkılmam... Gecemin en güzel saatleriydi ☺️☺️ İlk defa keşfettim bu gece bu kaydı, tek eksiği kendisini göremiyorum ama radyo etkisi yarattı bir nevi tam bir nostalji havası 😄 Eve Goodman için her türlü dinlerim ama bu şarkıları seslendirdiği mekanda olmayı çok ama çok isterdim! 🤩😍
Are there plans to release this to video? I'm literally on the other side of the world [US West coast] and the odds on me making it to a UK theater are slim to none 😁
There is a live to cinema screening as part of NTL Live on the 23d of April, i'm sure there must be a cinema showing it out there on the West Coast, i do know from friends that it is showing in New York. Not sure if it will be a live broadcast to you though, with time differences.
There is an interview with actor Michael Sheen on RU-vid where the interviewer at the end (the director?) refers to some wider world exposure. I can't quite remember what he said. I'll try to find it. P.S. I don't think posting links is allowed but this is the title of the video 'Nye | In Conversation with Michael Sheen and Rufus Norris | National Theatre Live'. At about 3:53 Rufus Norris says 'it will be fascinating to see what the international response is' but no further details on that.
I just been to see it and it was absolutely amazing it is slightly different then the original but it is to be expected as they don’t have the power of editing the cast was amazing and before the show Peter Pan was signed my script book and program I was amazed. it’s very clever how they do things and yes ms darling and the maid are played by the same actor I would recommend to anyone who wants to watch it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The original done by the goes wrong show company on bbc did it better this looks shite they copied ever bit of the original what a load of shit its btter to watch it on bbc iplayer where its more funny and not shit and not need to waste money to go see a cheap nock of version
One of my favourite Neil Gail on books! I read it to my kids, and enjoyed it just as much myself! Can’t wait to see the stage show, though I expect the book will always be better
I saw it last night, too many strobes for me as i was on the front row, certainly different and super weird in parts 😂 but the way it was done was impressive, i would not see it again
Charlie and the chocolate factory is one of my favorite Roald Dahl stories. I remember when I was a kid at Woodlands Elementary School in 5th Grade in 2008 my teacher Mrs. Molly read the book to not only me but to all of the students in her class. Around the same time we did a class project where we made a float for the story book parade and we have to draw some pictures of different scenes from the book. Then one year later in 2009 when I was in 6th Grade I did a school play where my principal Mr. McCormick played Grandpa Joe and I was the giant Wonka Bar passing out the programs and operating the curtains. Fast forward to 2019 I saw the stage show. It started in London's West End in 2013 and now the national tour has landed in Seattle's Paramount Theatre. I like the show and it is a blend of both of the 1971 Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory movie and the 2005 Charlie and the chocolate factory movie but there is one complaint of what I don't like about the show is they used adult actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike. That is the only problem I'm having with the show because the problem with this casting with adult actors to play the four nasty kids is they don't look like kids. When they are standing next to their parents they look about the same age and when they are standing next to Charlie which was the only child actor in the show they are too tall. A lot of audiences who saw the show on Broadway and on tour in the U.S. are never going to notice that but for me that really bugs me because when I saw School Of Rock and Matilda The Musical when they were on tour in the U.S. they had child actors on stage. For me I think casting adult actors to play the four nasty kids in the show is a bad idea and a bad decision that the producers have made when the show first came to Broadway. Plus when the adult actors are playing Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike in the Broadway and National Tour versions of the show they are really awful in their acting, comedy and how they preform. Out of all of the performances of Charlie and the chocolate factory live on stage I like the London's West End version a lot better because they used child actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet, Mike and Charlie. Their casting of child actors to play the five Golden Ticket winners is much better than the Broadway and National Tour versions I saw a few years later. Plus when the show started in London they know what they were doing for the casting of child actors in the show and they got it right. Compare to the Broadway and National Tour versions they used adult actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike which doesn't make any since and they got the casting of the characters in the show wrong. Every time they do a stage play of Charlie and the chocolate factory in America after the success of the West End version the Broadway/National Tour and UK Tour versions always get's the show wrong. The Broadway and U.S. Tour versions of Charlie and the chocolate factory needs to pay attention more on the West End version and do more research on their auditioning process for child actors to be in the show because Broadway is being so lazy when it comes to casting to play the characters in the show. They also ruined a bunch of 9 and 10 year old boys and girls dream of being a naughty kid on stage. The show did great on Broadway and on tour in the U.S. it's just it wasn't the right casting. Other than that another con about the show is that it had no exit song for Violet after she chewed the three cores dinner chewing gum and the show is going from kid friendly to dark when during the Nutcracker Suite the squirrels tore Veruca apart. Plus during the song When Willy Met Oompa one of the Oompa Loompas spits a dart and exploded Violet while her Dad was taking her daughter to the Juicing Room. I wouldn't take a kid to see this show on Broadway in America if I were you because the Broadway and National Tour version did not share the same success as the London's West End version. Not only they made it very inappropriate to cast adults to play the four nasty kids and made it too dark for kids to see but the sets are not like the West End version. Reviews of the Broadway production were mixed to negative, with some critics citing poor staging and restructuring of the story as primary issues and the show close on 14 January 2018, after 27 previews and 305 performances in New York. The West End version of the show in London on the other hand made roughly 4 times it's reviews so the Broadway and National Tour versions of the show in the U.S. was definitely a step back. I'm going to give the Broadway and National Tour version of Charlie and the chocolate factory a 7 out of 10 for the adult actors playing the four nasty kids, making the show dark, no exit song for Violet, the squirrels taring Veruca apart and one of the Oompa Loompas spits a dart and exploded Violet. When the show is back on Broadway and back on tour in the U.S. I hope they will correct this in the future and allow child actors on Broadway and National Tour to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike in Charlie and the chocolate factory. They also need to make the show less dark, more kid friendly and make it a little more like the West End version and the 1971 and 2005 films. Not only that, if the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle or any other Theatre in the United States and the United Kingdom want to recreate their own stage production of Charlie and the chocolate factory and make it a better version and get a revival on Broadway and on tour in the UK and USA then they not only they need to include child actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet, Mike and Charlie but here are the songs they should use for act 1 and act 2 from the West End version, Broadway version and stage school/community theatre productions of Willy Wonka.
