Whether you grew up on the book, the Gene Wilder movie, or just have a healthy fear of gum-chewing children turning into blueberries, this production is bursting with music, mischief, and more candy than we can legally recommend. Young Charlie Bucket lives in a crumbling house with a kind heart and big dreams. When Willy Wonka, the elusive candy maker extraordinaire, announces a worldwide contest to find five lucky golden ticket winners who will tour his secret factory, Charlie never expects to win. But with a little luck and a lot of chocolate, his world is turned upside down. Inside the factory, Charlie meets a cast of over-the-top kids-each with their own sugary downfall-and watches as they fall victim to their own greed, vanity, or screen-time obsession. But it’s Charlie’s quiet goodness that shines brightest, leading to a glass elevator ride like no other.
