Why are they trying to pull this crap as a good design?! |

I have photos of all the other designs but I don't know how to upload. Either way they are all dreadful. It has a good advance so I doubt I will close this summer. I personally just think in the style of Love Never Dies someone somewhere will get it right one day! Such a shame though neither London or Broadway hit the nail on the head...

If you go to imgur.com you can upload each picture. Then on the right it gives you a link with the word 'Copy'. Click that and it copies the link for the image. Reply on here and press CTRL + V or right click and click paste. Repeat for as many images as you have. |

Fixed it for you, westendwendy:  Question: Why are there more plants in the previous picture? Has the set changed since then? ![]() |

Judging by the presence of what looks like a Stage Manager in the second picture, I'd assume it was taken during tech rehearsals. The first picture was taken during a show.

The set looks more like a boring version of Curious Incident...

For all these years I had no idea what forswear legerdemain..
Was just listening to the Broadway Must Be Believed to Be Seen..new arrangements with ensemble singing with Wonka.

heck that's looks economical. Do you think they are treating every location as represented by a small room.

Looks like they kept the paper aeroplane effect, but killed the song it was originally from.

The trailer does make it seem better but the pictures of the set taken during the show shock me as do the decisions by the director (making Veruca Russian, adults as children etc). Hope he isn't the Uk tour director and we get the Original London Production (seems unlikely as it is Sam Mendes' version now) |

I think they can do wonders with trailers with a quick zoom here and there, fast cuts and clever fast pace editing. For all we know they could have captured only the wow moments (and nothing was wow about what they've captured so far).
Has Jack O'Brian directed anything successful/good? Catch Me If You can seemed very misdirected from what I've read..This seems like utter pants, and we all know how bad Love Never Dies was.

Tom and Jerry and Willie wonka.....whoever thought that was a good idea. And terrible animation not even original enough not to reference the other movies. Yikes. The creativity of Hollywood or wherever this has come from!!!

Not to mention they've shot alot of it from a low angle, shooting up, to give the perception of size. Making the set appear bigger than it is. |

Jack O'Brien has directed a number of successful plays and musicals and LND was more to due with ALW than the creative team. |

The press in New York slaughtered it.
The London production, gorgeously designed, was a dud to begin with. I really don't know what's left when you remove the spectacle and the eye candy.
TBH I find Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman extremely unoriginal, and Jack O'Brien, as I've said before, is a no-hit-wonder director. Hairspray doesn't count for me, despite its so-so success in London.

My guess is the US National tour has been announced so soon as a result of the reviews. Get tickets sold before word gets out and the demand dries up. I expect the Broadway production to close early 2018 to allow for 4-6 months dark some some minor tweaks before the broadway production goes on the road from Sept. |
