The search for a Golden Ticket is on! In this fun-filled, world-premiere stage musical based on Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s novel, a sweet-natured boy named Charlie Bucket and four other Golden Ticket winners get the tour of a lifetime in a mysterious candy-maker’s fantastical factory! Together we journey into the limitless wishes of four greedy children, the secrets of a scrumptious chocolate factory, and the honesty of a hopeful heart where the rules are backwards and the fun is indescribable!  Join Willy Wonka, Charlie, and the whole cast of imaginative characters on a journey where chocolate flows in rivers and candy grows on trees!
