Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film, and new songs by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, the sweet musical adaption of Roald Dahl's timeless story comes to life on our mainstage June 28 through August 4.

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka runs approximately 70 minutes with no intermission and is recommended for all ages. Tickets are on sale now!

Directed by Nikki Swoboda, this visual stunning production of the children's classic was adapted to stage by Leslie Bricusse and Timothy Allen McDonald. "Willy Wonka is filled with big dreams and a generous sprinkle of candy, which just so happens to be the ingredient for an excellent summer," said Swoboda. "Charlie's big heart and open eyes bring us on a fantastical journey from nothing to everything, and all kinds of wild adventures in between. It's going to be a fun and sweet treat for the entire family."
