Andrews comes up with golden ticket for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stage show

Posted Date 24/07/2023

A few weeks ago, the team at Andrews Sykes once again demonstrated our ability to provide exceptional service when faced with a critical situation during the famous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theatre show.

On a Sunday evening, we received an urgent call from the stage manager, who was concerned about rising temperature levels backstage posing a potential risk to the children performing. The weekend prior, the show had to cancel two performances due to the scorching heat on the stage. It was evident that immediate action was needed to ensure the show could go on. And thanks to us, it did!

Due to the season, our customer’s primary objective was to restore an air conditioning supply – hence their reason for getting in touch with us.

The theatre’s facility manager explained over the phone that the breakdown meant that dressing rooms were likely to become overbearing, particularly when the actors and actresses were required to switch outfits quickly and frequently.
