Music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley
Adapted for the stage by Leslie Bricusse and Tim McDonald
Based on the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Directed by John Quinn

In this oh-so-sweet musical for all ages based on Roald Dahl’s children’s novel, candy-maker Willy Wonka and troupes of Ooompa Loompas give Charlie Bucket and four other Golden Ticket winners the tour of a lifetime in the fantastical chocolate factory. Charlie, Grandpa Joe, spoiled Veruca Salt, gluttonous Augustus Gloop, gum-grinding Violet Beauregarde, Wii/technology junkie Mike Teavee and their simply awful parents wind through a quirky labyrinth of lemon drops and colorful life lessons.



Willy Wonka – Final Rehearsals – Headshots (thank you Dan Busler!)

Sixty plus cast members sing their hearts out in memorable songs including “The Candy Man,” “I Want It Now!“, “Cheer Up, Charlie” and “Pure Imagination.” Musical accompaniment is provided by a professional orchestra directed by Fine Arts Director Cathy Connor Moen and high school Choral Instructor Ashley Nelson. Dean Calusdian has designed a brilliant 3D set that launches the cast out into the audience, helping to bring the 1971 film to life on stage.

Look for ‘Everlasting Gobstoppers‘ and ‘Wonka Bars’ provided by the Backstage Boosters at the concession stand during the intermission in this two-hour performance. Caution: chocolate river levels are rising, please watch your step.
