Program details

You’ve read the book and seen the films so why not come and see Roald Dahl's deliciously dark tale of young Charlie Bucket and the mysterious confectioner Willy Wonka come to life at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane? This brand new West End musical directed by Academy Award winning director Sam Mendes has won rave reviews right across the board. Featuring ingenious stagecraft and award-winning sets, the wonder of the original story that captivated the world is brought to life with scintillating music and dance numbers by Marc Shaiman .


When Charlie wins a golden ticket to the weird and wonderful Wonka Chocolate Factory, it’s the chance of a lifetime to feast on the sweets he’s always dreamed of. But beyond the gates astonishment awaits, as down the sugary corridors, and amongst the incredible edible delights, the five lucky winners discover not everything is as sweet as it seems. This musical makeover of Roald Dahl’s popular children’s novel combines clever stage set ups with favour-ite characters like Willie Wonka, Veruca Salt and the curious army of orange-faced Oompa Loompas.


Start/opening time: 7:30pm.
