People are just gobbling up this Wonka fiasco, though it's already getting old seeing it pop up somehow in like every other thread.

The Facebook pages have news agencies from everywhere asking for people to weigh in

lol but also it's vaguely heartwarming watching the actors, parents and kids at this thing try to make the most of it. Like the way Metha Loompa notices that kid starting to be disappointed and sidles over to try to make a difference with her tiny tube of jellybeans, and how Willy Fauxnka is creasing his brow hard to hide his own pain as tries to be jubilant about taking a photo with the big chocolate bar, etc.

I've decided the moral is that kindheartedness and community win out in the face of cynical scamming. That being said,

lmao

There's stuff on Facebook from attendees of The Unknown playing with a little kid and kids genuinely happy to get their pictures taken with the props.

So was The Unknown was invented wholecloth by the chatbot or is that something from the original book (books?)? My knowledge of Wonka lore is sadly lacking.

The only thing that I can think of resembling it are the alien Vermicious Knids or the things Willy and Charlie confront on their elevator voyage to rescue Grandma Georgina from Minus Land.

So is the musical about the scandal or an adaptation of the original script?

Edit: I guess the whole event and scandal.

Maybe they'll make references to The Producers.

:doh: I spent way too long trying to rhyme "warehouse" before abandoning it. "Building" is way more versatile.

I recommend OneLook for all your word finding needs. Like you can search for "*ing: warehouse* and it'll return all words ending in -ing related to warehouses.

Edmonton is just where the OP is from, it's being "put on" in Canada, Australia, and the US.
