ROALD DAHL'S CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Music by Marc Shaiman
Lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman
Book by David Greig
Based on the novel by Roald Dahl
Songs from the motion picture by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley
*Ohio Community Theatre Premiere*
Welcome to the World of Pure Imagination with this Tasty Broadway and West End Musical Based on the Famous Novel and Hit Movie!
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 curious Oompa-Loompas.
Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features an original score composed by Marc Shaiman with lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) and a book by David Greig. The score also pays homage to the Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including "Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination."
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI (www.mtishows.com).
