Can you imagine your grandparents sleeping all tight together feet against feet as in Roald Dahl’s Chocolate Factory musical, being swallowed by the creepy stage?

Have you ever fantasised floating in a transparent elevator and being carried all over the audience without seeing any trace of rope to lead them around? Would you ever expect Augustus Gloop, the funny and chocolate – greedy friend, to be sucked, suspended and squeezed into a giantormous tube?
Well, dear friends, you won’t believe it but all this happens in this gobsmacking, hilarious and sensational show.
