Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, 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. This TYA
world premiere features
an original score and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) as well
as songs from the beloved 1971 film picture including "Candy Man,"
"I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and
"Pure Imagination."
