"A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men." (Willy Wonka) The delicious adventures experienced by Charlie Bucket during his visit to Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder, in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. is a "scrumdidilyumptious" musical guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages.

The production follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka's "golden ticket" contest. Whoever comes up with the five special tickets hidden in Wonka's chocolate bars wins a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats; but, the fifth is a likable young lad, named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his amiable grandfather. Will the children learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory or suffer the unusual consequences?

In addition to an amusing storyline and wonderful songs, this musical is full of colorful costumes and decadent props. Additionally, NYT's cast really makes the stage come to life! Director David Horn: "Willy Wonka JR. is a fantastic story of wisdom, fun, and pure imagination! Perfect for all ages to enjoy, the cast is incredibly talented and will be a true delight. Whether you're a fan of the classic movie or its remake, you won't want to miss this adaptation for the stage. I hope you'll join us!"
