Charlie and the Chocolate Factory JR. is your golden ticket to producing a crowd-pleasing, outrageous ensemble musical with plenty of delicious roles.

The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.

-
Though both musicals based on the classic Roald Dahl story, Willy Wonka JR. and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory JR. are two very different shows.
Willy Wonka JR.'s music and lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and feature many of the songs made famous from the same duo for the 1971 film, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The stage version was adapted by Leslie Bricusse and Tim McDonald and features a slew of the recognizable tunes in its score, including "Candy Man," "Pure Imagination," "Cheer Up, Charlie," "Oompa-Loompa," and "I've Got a Golden Ticket". 24 roles + ensemble.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory JR. has a reimagined score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can) and a new book by David Greig. 18 roles + ensemble. The classic favorites of "Candy Man", "I've Got a Golden Ticket", "Oompa Loompa", and "Pure Imagination" are all featured in the show. The remaining are brand new from Shaiman & Wittman. The book is a much closer adaptation to the original novel by Roald Dahl.
