Saw the Les Mis musical live for the first time this month and let me tell you my autism has been activated so long story short I made a Discord, feel free to join and share (It's for all the versions, I'm currently lowk hyperfixating on the fucking Brick)

I still regularly think about Dutch CatCF Closing Weekend when I brought some chocolate for the cast on Saturday and then Dutch Mr Beauregarde sent me a video with their reactions and then Dutch Mrs Gloop posted that video, calling me "superfan" in the caption,,, like man,,, I'm an officially certified Dutch Tour superfan,,, still processing that a month later,,, BUT ALSO THE VIDEO IS SO CUTE 🥹

[ewweird]

We are overjoyed that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical is going to be performed in Japan, so we have added to the table we created earlier.

What's wrong with all of you /lhj

[wonkaautismtruther]

Am I really missing the Dutch CatCF musical or am I just missing that feeling of exploring new cities/theaters to see the actors who'd been nothing but kind to me shine on stage and hear the applause for them and then going home knowing I'd explore a new city/theater and hear a whole different set of jokes the next week? The musical was AMAZING but the people I got to meet and places I got to see because of it? Even more so.

Changing my name to Wonka Autism Truther so I can share it to my Instagram without having to worry about the cast following me and/or viewing my posts to think "???"

Charliecitaten die een vast plekje in mijn vocabulaire hebben geclaimed

"Zoooo... Opgelost!"

"Oké."

"Met een lachje in onze pasjes en een huppeltje in ons hart!"

"Zo veel tijd, zo weinig te doen."

"Excuses, dat klopt niet."

"Pardon."

"Valse noot!"

Can we just take a second to appreciate how AMAZING this program from Zwolse Theaters is (where the Dutch CatCF Tour ran a few weeks ago) [design by Viesrood]

Like, it goes hard as-is but it's even BETTER when you know about the choices that were made for the Dutch Tour and how they are represented in this program.

[📸s by Nathalie Dekkers]

The designers of the Dutch Tour made the choice that Wonka should be an surrealist artist of sorts. (Which is why I'll forever be upset we didn't get Simply Second Nature in our soundtrack, it would've fit so well)

There are multiple references to 20th century surrealists, such as Salvador Dalí, but more explicitly: René Magritte. Especially in the Mixing Room there's a lot of references. The Giant Mixing Cup™ is... Well:

The Elephant design was based off Dalí's work, when you take a look at his 1948 work "Elephants", you'll see how.

When the Tour enters the Mixing Room, when only the Elephants head is shown, however, one of the first things Charlie says is "that's an elephant", to which Wonka replies by showing us what's written on the box surrounding it: "ceci n'est pas un éléphant." Probably the clearest art reference in the show: a reference to Magritte's 1929 painting La Trahison des Images.

It is in this room Wonka wears a different hat as well:

But wait! I recognise that hat from somewhere! Oh right! Magritte's famous Son Of Man (1964)

But, maybe even more clearly referenced by the program, Man in a Bowler Hat (1964)

And that's why I'm going absolutely feral over this program. They understood so well what vibe the Dutch Tour was going for and that's amazing.

Here's something I made recently with help from the Charlie discord. Wanted to post it on my Efteling blog but I had to delete it since weird bots kept liking my posts :(

[wonkaautismtruther]

So yesterday was Dutch CatCF Tour Closing Day and it was lovely meeting the cast but I'm genuinely heartbroken rn so if anyone has some post-show depression tips please tell me, meanwhile have a meme I cried over while making it

Another Charlie the musical post!

This is one of the girls who portrayed Violet Beauregarde in my country. @wonkamilftruther Beauregardes on roller skates supremacy, am I right?

Was aiming for a more pop-art aesthetic but ultimately failed, ha.
