About the Show:

 

Dive into the magical world of Willy Wonka Jr. as we prepare for unforgettable performances! Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

​

Willy Wonka JR. has a flexible cast size, with many featured and ensemble roles, including the singing and dancing Oompa-Loompas.
