The folks at London’s “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” in Wimbledon were afraid they were going to melt today.
There’s no air conditioning at the beautiful New Wimbledon Theater. And it’s 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 Celsius). And the year is 1910. That’s when the theater was built.
New Wimbledon is owned by Ambassador Theater Group, which now is merged in New York with Jujamcyn Theaters. They’re so devoted to history they don’t want to change a thing! I hope they don’t mind turning up the AC in NYC!
*Important Information*
Due to outside temperatures in excess of 30°C and it’s impact on working conditions on stage. We have reluctantly taken the decision to cancel today’s performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical. Your point of purchase will be in touch. pic.twitter.com/sV6JjA0DZT
