Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; a different kind of holiday performance
Charlie, played by Nathrada Papernon, as she
discovers the winning golden ticket.
By Shana Kongmun
Sangdao Performing Arts School students took to the stage for a
dance performance of the popular children’s classic Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory on Sunday, November 23, 2014. Kids took center stage
in the first half as the story unfolded in the sweet shop, with children
performing as marshmallow treats, cotton candy and bubble gum. This was
followed by the winners of the prized golden ticket; Augustina Gloop
played by Chelsea Moore, Michel Teavee played by Teerisara Boontang,
Violet Beauregarde played by Narissa Thitasuta and the very spoiled rich
kid Veruca Salt played by Dacey Leutwiler. The first act ended with the
poor Charlie Bucket finding the final golden ticket, played by Nathrada
Papernon.
Dacey Leutwiler as Veruca Salt and Michel
Teavee played by Teerisara Boontang as they fight over who goes to
Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
The second act saw the winning children perform in Willie Wonka’s
Chocolate Factory with Willie Wonka played by Michael Allman. Everyone
knows that the four greedy children end up disqualified due to their
greed and the poor but kind Charlie inheriting the factory from Willie
Wonka, but the dance performances from the students really made the
show. The varied music and dance styles offered entertainment with a
twist. The arrangement of this classic story in dance was thanks to
Sophathai Kanthatham and Glenn van der Hoff, whose dedication to dance
was clear in the performances of their students.
