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. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
