Is Grand Circle Worth It? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Musical MBS Review

ABBEY: Who loves chocolate? Me! I’ve seen Charlie and The Chocolate Factory movie versions and I’m excited to watch it on a theatre. We managed to secure promotional tickets for SGD88 each, and I couldn’t wait to experience the magic for myself.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical exceeded my expectations. While staying true to the beloved story, the production added its own creative touch that made the experience feel fresh and exciting. Every scene was carefully crafted, transporting the audience into Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory.

Watching the journey of each Golden Ticket winner unfold on stage was a delight. The vibrant sets, stunning visual effects, catchy musical numbers, and energetic Oompa Loompa choreography brought the classic story to life. Every performance was filled with charm, humor, and imagination, making it enjoyable for audiences of all ages.

Most of all, the show reminded me of the joy and wonder of childhood. For a couple of hours, I found myself completely immersed in a world where imagination has no limits and every corner holds a sweet surprise.

It’s a magical experience that will leave both children and adults smiling long after the final curtain call.

WILL: Beside Richie Rich, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is my ultimate “what if I could have it” movie. Well, if you’ve been a long-time reader of our blog, you know I don’t actually like eating chocolate—but I love seeing those brown bars stacked in our fridge. 🤭 Honestly, it’s such an elevating feeling just to give them away! Haha.

As for the story? A few details differed from the movie I grew up watching, but I was genuinely amazed by how they brought the scenes inside the Chocolate Factory to life on stage. That was the main thing I was waiting for—how they could pull off that magic right in front of us!

So, if you’re wondering: Is the Grand Circle worth it? 

This was our first time sitting on the third floor in Marina Bay Sands’ Grand Circle, thanks to the $88 opening promotion we scored!

If you usually watch Broadway shows from stalls, you might actually love this perspective. You get a bird’s-eye view of everything happening on stage—and yes, I mean everything, right down to the orchestra! 🤭
