Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features an original score which pays homage to the Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including The Candy Man, I've Got a Golden Ticket, Oompa Loompa Song and Pure Imagination.
The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory... but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka's world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is your golden ticket to producing a crowd-pleasing, outrageous ensemble musical.
