CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY UK Tour Cancels Performance Over Heat Concerns

The UK tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was forced to cancel a recent performance due to heat concerns. On Saturday, June 24, the show was set to perform in south London, but was cancelled due to "outside temperatures in excess of 30 degrees, and its impact on working conditions on stage."

The production released a statement on social media, citing that ticketholders will receive a message from their point of purchase.
