I had the privilege of seeing this twice as a part of Theater Unmasked performances and love it. It is a natural progression of the inspiration with brilliant moments and some real candy for the actors to bite into. It’s a wonderful mix of comedic beats with earnest delivery of clarity. This is a great show to perform live.

I had the pleasure of watching this play as Theatre Unmasked's first full-length Zoom performance.
Hayet's script takes a look that's both compassionate and hilarious at the fates of the original golden ticket holders of Wonka's chocolate factory. Every continuation Hayet imagines here makes absolute perfect sense as a logical continuation of the original tale, and yet is wholly original itself. A delightful showcase that allows each individual cast member their moment to shine, it would be a success whether on stage or on Zoom.
Just as Roald Dahl envisioned, Hayet brings a lot of humanity to the fantastic.

Eat bitter, taste sweet. Absolutely brilliant. I loved being re-introduced to these characters as fully fleshed-out human beings, and not just as mere warnings or caricatures for badly behaved young children. This a play for folks who still believe in and long to see magic, even if their childhood has long since ended. Hilarious and heartfelt.
