Roald Dahl's timeless cautionary indictment of greed, the story of the
world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in
this musical stage adaptation of "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory."
One evening, the village paper's headline states that Wonka is holding a
contest, in which five Golden Tickets are hidden under the wrappers of
his candy bars.   The contest becomes a worldwide mania, with people
resorting to increasingly desperate and unscrupulous measures to find
the tickets. The first 4 are found by 4 hard-to-like children: the
gluttonous Augustus Gloop, spoiled Veruca Salt, gum-addicted Violet
Beauregarde, and television-obsessed Mike Teavee.  Our hero, Charlie,
one cold night in the snow, magically, finds the 5th! This tale is a
frothy, thoughtful blend of scary and fun  for children and adults.  

 

Hit songs  include "Pure Imagination" and "The Candy Man" and feature,
of course, those mysterious factory workers known as...the Oompa
Loompas!
