Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was on my London Bucket
list. I was super excited that a couple of my new friends also wanted to check out
this musical. Last night, as we were standing at the bus stop, a local told us
it was only a five minute walk. Apparently we took the way of Omaha (way out of
the way path) and got a bit lost. After eventually finding the theater, it
turned out to be our lucky day, we were still able to obtain tickets! Even
better we did not have to wait in the queue with all the other patrons since we
were already inside. The Drury Theater is very old and magnificent and
contained art work from late in the day throughout the theater. The music and
actors were amazing. The plot followed closely to the print versions with the
exception of a few modern day characters. We all had a swell time. It still
amazes me that patrons can eat and drink during the production. One little
event, that we could of done without; a teenager in the row of us threw up in the
middle of the play. Praise the Lord that none of us were sitting in front or
next of him. After discussing the misfortune incident, we came to the conclusion
that we believe that the boy possibly got sick from the flashing strobe lights in
one of the scenes. Of course we had to stop and get a few photos to add to our
social media projects. On the way home we took a taxi!
