On Stage
Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
A Super Sweet Sugar Rush of a Musical!
Young Charlie Bucket can hardly contain his excitement when he finds a coveted Golden Ticket to take a behind the scenes tour of the mysterious Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory.
Charlie and his fellow ticket winners – gluttonous Augustus Gloop, spoiled Veruca Salt, boastful Violet Beauregarde, and maniacal Mike Teavee – are amazed by Wonka’s mouthwatering world of pure imagination. As they compete for Wonka’s grand prize, each contestant ends up getting – in strange but delightful ways – just what they deserve.
Based on Roald Dahl’s semi-sweet children’s classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory brings audiences of all ages on Charlie’s curious adventure – bursting with whimsical musical numbers and wonders great and small. This production must be believed to be seen!
