Willy Wonka Jr is a musical based on the Roald Dahl book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and the 1971 film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” The story follows Charlie Bucket, a poor boy who wins a golden ticket to tour the mysterious candy factory of Willy Wonka. Along with four other children, Charlie experiences a magical and often dangerous adventure through Wonka’s factory, learning valuable lessons about honesty, kindness, and the true meaning of a “golden ticket.” The musical features songs from the film, as well as new songs written specifically for the stage production.
