Willy Wonka’s world of pure imagination! 

Five lucky young people find a golden ticket in their chocolate bars and win a tour of Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory. Charlie Bucket, an imaginative boy from a poor family; gluttonous Augustus Gloop; spoiled Veruca Salt; chewing gum celebrity Violet Beauregarde; and over-amped computer hacker Mike Teavee soon learn that no one leaves the same way they arrived. Based on Roald Dahl’s weird and wonderful novel, this fantastical adventure for the whole family features original music from the songwriters of Hairspray, as well as unforgettable songs from the 1971 classic film: “Candy Man,” “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” “Oompa Loompa Song,” and “Pure Imagination.”

Run time: approximately 2 hours, 20 minutes
(including 15-minute intermission)

Oompa Loompas…lots and lots of Oompa Loompas
