Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Spriet Stage | November 21 to December 24, 2023
Willy Wonka, the world-famous candy maker, is opening the gates to his mysterious chocolate factory – but only to a lucky few. Among them is the young Charlie Bucket, who joins four other Golden Ticket winners to embark upon a brain boggling, mind mangling, schnozztastic adventure through Wonka’s wild and wonderous world. Chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels, incredible inventions, Oompa-Loompas, and the prize of a lifetime await.
Step into a world of pure imagination with Roald Dahl’s scrumptious musical adventure, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With beloved songs from the original film, alongside a toe-tapping score from the songwriters of Hairspray, this everlasting show-stopper is the perfect tongue-tastical treat – just in time for the holiday season!
Age Recommendation: 6+
Content Advisory: This whopping production features atmospheric haze, moving projections, flashing lights, sudden loud noises, pyrotechnics, and giant squirrels.
A note for parents and caregivers of young children: While Charlie Bucket shines with goodness, his fellow Golden Ticket winners see themselves as the "whipped cream" of the crop -- often indulging in mischief and impoliteness, with bitter sprinkles of naughty language. While consequences are delivered by the Oompa Loompas, some young children may find these "just desserts" scary.
