Oompa Loompas Set Loose at Theatre Royal Drury Lane

Charlie And The Chocolate FactoryGalleryNewsWest End

It's not the ghosts at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane that you have to worry about. As these great pictures show someone has been letting the Oompa Loompas out to celebrate Roald Dahl Day at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the result is mayhem.

Today would have been Roald Dahl's 99th birthday and we're celebrating alongside these crazy Oompa Loompas. Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has quickly become one of the West End’s most popular and successful stage musicals. It has broken multiple records at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, where it has been seen by over more than 1.25 million people since it opened in June 2013.
