Young Charlie Bucket can hardly contain his excitement when he finds a coveted Golden Ticket to tour the mysterious Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. Inside, he and the other winners step into a world of pure imagination, where every sweet surprise is bigger than they dreamed, including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and a great glass elevator. As they compete for Wonka's grand prize, each child receives a fate that is strange, delightful, and exactly what they deserve. Based on Roald Dahl's semi-sweet classic tale, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a whimsical full length musical adventure filled with wonder, laughter, and treats beyond imagination.
