## Why go

For families with children and anyone who loves big musical theatre, on a weekend afternoon out; the Saturday and Sunday matinees suit kids best. It is out at Solaire in Entertainment City, Parañaque, so easy from the bay area and the south, but from Makati, BGC or Quezon City give yourself a long lead for traffic.

## Good to know

Ticketed, book ahead through TicketWorld. Runs July 8 to 26, Tue to Fri 8pm, Sat 3pm and 8pm, Sun 1:30 and 6pm. Plan extra travel time to Parañaque, especially before an evening show.

## About this event

The Manila premiere of the West End and Broadway musical drawn from Roald Dahl's story, with a score that sets "Pure Imagination" and "The Candy Man" alongside original songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. The touring production uses hologauze 3D effects and large-scale staging, and the Manila run casts local performer Karylle as Mrs. Bucket. It plays the main theatre at Solaire in Entertainment City from July 8 to 26, a polished, family-friendly choice for a full evening of musical theatre and good for bringing visiting family. Weekend matinees on Saturday and Sunday suit those travelling with children; book ahead through Ticketworld.
