Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features a score from the Grammy and Tony-winning songwriters of Hairspray, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, with a book from internationally acclaimed playwright David Greig. The score also pays homage to the Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including "Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination."
The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.
Run time: approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, with one intermission. Concessions sold at intermission.
Appropriate for all audiences.
