Willy Wonka is an enigmatic character; at once mysterious and mischievous but also charismatic. Strong dance/movement skills a plus. Able to be funny and serious and change between the two on a dime. Vocal range: Tenor, Baritone
CHARLIE BUCKET: Age: Early Teen. The protagonist of the play. Charlie is unassuming and respectful toward everyone in his life. He is undernourished but refuses to ever take an extra portion of food because it would deprive another member of his family. He must walk by Mr. Wonka’s factory every day on his way to school and smell the tantalizing smell of chocolate as his stomach grumbles. He is almost always cold because he does not have an adequate jacket. Even though he has every reason to complain, he never does. Charlie is exactly the kind of child that Mr. Wonka wants. Vocal range: Treble/ Boy Soprano
GRANDPA JOE: Age: Mature Adult. Charlie’s paternal grandfather. Grandpa Joe spends all his time in bed with the other three Bucket grandparents. He is extremely imaginative and fun loving.

Mingled with garbage, she comes out changed at the end of the story. Vocal range: Mezzo-Soprano
VIOLET BEAUREGARDE: Age: Earley Teen, Late Teen, Young Adult. Gum chewer extraordinaire, Violet hails from Snellville, Georgia, so it's nice if she has a Southern American accent, but not necessary.

MR. SALT: Age: Adult. Mr. Salt is at his daughter’s beck and call. Whenever she screams and cries he gives in to her every demand. Vocal range: Tenor
