Leeds Playhouse's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory review: Gender-flipped Roald Dahl classic is a musical delight
“Calm your jets, Bucket!” snipes Wonka at Charlie Bucket, portrayed by Amelia Minto – that’s right, Leeds Playhouse has taken the decision to gender-flip the role in its production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - The Musical.
Could you think of anyone more deserving to receive one of Willy Wonka’s golden tickets? No, you couldn’t, least of all the other winners of the golden tickets, who get to visit the mysterious man's world famous chocolate factory. At the very end of the first act which last for about an hour, we finally get to meet the true star of the show Willy Wonka, portrayed by Gareth Snook . Snook has a commanding presence, offering a real devilish vim to the role of the amoral and slightly frightening chocolatier. He bursts onto the stage in song, tosses away flippant remarks and gags – and is just so much fun to watch.
