They said: “The first time we heard about the Glasgow experience was reading a headline that said, ‘Police called to underwhelming Willy Wonka event’. It all sounded so ridiculous that we had to click on it.”
Andy Fickman, the show’s director, said: “I feel like Willy Wonka himself standing at the gates to the factory with this remarkable cast all arriving with their golden tickets ready to perform.
“Working with this glorious cast in this dreamy musical is already a joy, but to add the original Veruca Salt and Mike Teevee to the mix – my head is having an explosion of sweet treats.”
Organisers of the Glasgow event refunded tickets and apologised to customers, saying: “Unfortunately, last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and tried our best to continue on and push through.
“[We] now realise we probably should have cancelled first thing [in the] morning instead.”
