Specially adapted from Roald Dahl’s timeless 1964 novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and his 1971 screenplay, “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” Roald Dahl’s WILLY WONKA JR.
includes all your favorite infectious, danceable songs like “The Candy Man, “Pure Imagination,” and “Oompa Loompa.” World famous candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka, has decided to retire and is looking for an heir to take over his factory.
Five lucky winners of Wonka’s contest will find golden tickets inside of Wonka chocolate bars, and receive a tour of Wonka’s factory, and a lifetime supply of chocolate.
Follow Charlie, Augustus, Violet, Veruca, Mike Teavee, and their parents on a delicious adventure to Wonka’s factory.
Will they be able to follow the rules at Wonka’s factory- or will they suffer the consequences?
Due to a high demand in participation there are two talented casts filled with 70 students between the ages of seven and thirteen that comprise and electric ensemble of Candy Kids, and of course, the infamous Oompa-Loompas!
