CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (musical)
Previews from 22nd May, opens 25th June 2013.
When Charlie wins a golden ticket to the weird and wonderful Wonka Chocolate
Factory, it’s the chance of a lifetime to feast on the sweets he’s always
dreamed of. But beyond the gates astonishment awaits, as down the sugary
corridors, and amongst the incredible edible delights, the five lucky winners
discover not everything is as sweet as it seems.
Roald Dahl’s deliciously dark tale of young Charlie Bucket and the mysterious
confectioner Willy Wonka comes to life in a brand new West End musical directed
by Academy Award® winner Sam Mendes.

old, original story is brought to life with music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by
Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, with a book by award-winning playwright and
adaptor David Greig, set and costume designs by Mark Thompson and choreography
by Peter Darling.
