Music and Lyrics by LESLIE BRICUSSE and ANTHONY NEWLEY
Adapted for the Stage by LESLIE BRICUSSE and TIMOTHY ALLEN MCDONALD
Based on the Book "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY" by ROALD DAHL
The students of the Jessye Norman School of the Arts invite the audience to join them in a world of "Pure Imagination." Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in this stage adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which features the songs from the classic family film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Enigmatic candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka, stages a contest by hiding five *golden tickets* in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory--or suffer the consequences. This scrumdidilyumptious musical is guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth.
