Wonka already likes Charlie because he met him before he found the ticket. I also love when he engages Charlie in small-talk, whereas the other kids he could not give less of a toss about what they say or think XD
I like that in both the UK and the Broadway/US musicals, Wonka goes "undercover" or "incognito" because, despite having bad experiences with people, he clearly wants to watch/see how people behave and treat each other. He is, however, pessimistic to an extent, he does not believe people are capable of being decent until he meets Charlie. That is the first time in a long time he probably realises that there ARE still good people in the world who deserve good things.
Actually her acting was always kind of bland. She would occasionally fumble/miss lines as well (i.e. violet is supposed to scream "help me!" and "get me out of here!" after she's blown up but Jade doesn't a lot of the time). But I will say she has one of the best if not the best voices out of all the violets.
I think the glass elevator scene is amazing I love the song pure imagination it fits really well with this moment so does the view from here that they used in it’s place on Broadway
Never thought I'd ever see a video of Douglas Hodge's amazing performance as a whole recording. Thank ye for sharin' it! P.S. The iconic head tilt and fast turn from Wonka ( 1:49:18 ) truly gave a moment of intimidating presence before being goofy again. Absolutely love it. Hodge's would've made a fantastic Jekyll & Hyde.
Someone screeches after Mr. Gloop says "We won't leave our dachshunds all alone with him"... could it possibly be one of the townspeople who had their dog attacked by Augustus? Because- as I see it- he's referring to them as a town and not them as a family. (27:58)
At the Chocolate Room, Augustus Gloop falls down to the chocolate river and gets suck into a pipe. In the Inventing Room, Violet turns into a blueberry after chewing a special kind of gum and explodes. In the Nut Room, Veruca Salt tries to get a squirrel but ends up attacked by squirrels in the form of a ballet and she then goes down to the garbage chute along with her father. The last room, the Television Room, Mike runs to the television ball thingy, then he gets zapped in one of the TVs and later is shrunk. All four children got into mishap because they didn't listen to Wonka's rules.
The kids' fates in all versions: Augustus Gloop: it's not shown onscreen in any version (sans the UK Tour version) but it's strongly implied that Augustus meet his ultimate fate after being sucked by the pipe and somehow got covered in a thick coat of pre-baked candied pork. The chocolate in the pipe most likely frozen around him too, like instant cryogenics. The Oompas then removed him from the pipe on a great glass recipient and returned the temporarly deceased Augustus to Mrs Gloop, saying that he'll be unfrozen and revived after an century with the global warming. They eventually put Augustus' own everlasting gobstopper inside his new glass recipient, (temporary) postumously. UK Tour version is the only one to shown this onscreen.) then she came back home with Augustus' cryogenic. Violet Beauregarde: well, after she chewed the forbidden gum, she meet her fate after swelling and exploding. After that, Wonka called her father to get her exploding pieces. Mr Beauregarde then came back to California and tried to sell her pieces on her own boutiques on a last attempt to make money with his now deceased daughter. Then he lost most of his money from her (except on some Broadway versions, where she survived after exploding and was returned to quite back to normal and her family got ridiculized for the rest of her life). Veruca Salt: depends of the version. On the WestEnd and UK Tour versions, after demanding for the squirrels and going to grab her, the squirrels attack her and forced to go to the bad nut chute. Her father tries to rescue her, but is also forced by the squirrels through the bad nut chute. Then they spin through the chute and them both fell to their deaths on the trash incinerator, being both burned alive as a fire light came out of the chute onscreen (on the UK Tour version, they both fall on a thrash can instead, and the Oompa Loompas roll them to the incinerator). In the Broadway version however, after demanding the squirrels, Veruca tries to get the squirrels and is torn apart by them (her head is thrown by them on a small thrash can onscreen). Her father is forced by Wonka operators to leave the factory. It's unknown what happened to him after that. Mike Teavee: after sending himself inside the TV set, Mike is shrunken down permanently, and his now crazed mother put him on her Pocket and leave him back to home, where now he's threaten on a life of hell for being such a psychopath the worse of the kids. Oh, he also doesn't have more any contact with TVs or any kind of technology, and is living basically in home arrest and is threated by his family as a little doll. It happens about the same in every single version. But at least he still have his everlasting gobstopper (oh yeah he doesn't like candy...)
Is there any other bootlegs of the West End version besides this and one called Chocolate Top Hat Guy kills the children, you know of (I’ve seen comments conversations of users claiming to have bootegs on Google Drive) Although it could be possible that Google has taken them down due to copyright which I’m pretty sure is something they can do I’ve also seen that this version of Auf Wiechsiden Augustus Gloop (the one used in this footage) get fixed which either proves there’s a clearer version of this footage or the user as incredible editing skills Edit: One reply to a comment on the fixed footage advised a user to search Poor boy & the chocolate factory but when I did nothing relevant to the musical showed up Update: Guess it was clearer audio as another video resurfaced using footage from this bootleg but audio from another live performance
@@bogusdetonator1824 A RU-vidr called Charlie Fan (a very credible source) used to have it. He has since lost it as he deleted most of his catcf bootlegs. The full bootleg with slinger is also listed for trade on charliemusicalfan.weebly.com with screenshots. Unfortunately, the website hasn’t been updated since 2017 and when I emailed them they never responded. If I ever manage to get it, I will let you know.
I think they die. Wonka said something like "at least he died doing something he liked!" After the song. Also after veruca's he says they fell in the incinerator
I dont even remember anymore, lol, it's been a long time since I used to post this videos. but probably i just saw on some random youtube channel and download it before it was deleted
@@salveasgirafas6939I searched for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Musical on the internet archive and found a result called Collection of Musicals and one of those were this exact recording
