Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Back in April, we went to see the musical version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Pantages.

Prior to the show, we went to Sweet! - a candy store in Hollywood where you can design your own chocolate bar. 

Gemma chose milk chocolate with Nutella filling, mini marshmallows, Nerds, and mini M&Ms. She said it was the best candy bar she’d ever had. (Wanting something scrumdiddlyumptious, I chose dark chocolate with marshmallow cream filling, toffee chips, sea salt, and almonds. It was absolutely delicious.)

We all loved the show - including Pete, who had been less than enthusiastic about going. The actor playing Willy Wonka was perfect, and the Veruca/Squirrel ballet made me laugh so hard I cried.
