About Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Based on Roald Dahl’s much-loved children’s book, the musical follows Charlie Bucket, a boy living in poverty who wins a golden ticket to tour the mysterious Wonka Chocolate Factory. He and his Grandpa Joe go on a daring adventure through a world of Oompa-Loompas, chocolate rivers and cotton candy dreams, alongside four other ticket winners.

The musical has a book by David Greig (One Day) and a score by Marc Shaiman, with lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the duo behind hit musical Hairspray. It also includes songs from the 1971 film by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.

The musical first played the West End at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 2013, where it ran for more than three years and won Olivier Awards for Best Costume Design and Best Lighting Design.
