Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Based on Roald Dahl’s classic novel, this stage show merges iconic tunes from the original film with new
songs by Hairspray's award-winning songwriters. When Charlie Bucket finds a golden ticket to Willy
Wonka's factory, he and the other winners anticipate sweet delights. Yet, beyond the gates, they encounter
more than just candy, embarking on an extraordinary journey through Wonka's imaginative world. With
music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and a book by David Greig, Charlie and
The Chocolate Factory – The Musical promises to dazzle audiences with its whimsical charm and vibrant
storytelling.

“Scrumdiddlyumptious Fun For Everyone.”

- Lynn Beaver, Broadway World

“A paradise of color and candy, is balanced against

the dark demise of the golden ticket holders”

   -Nancy Grossman, Broadway World
