Roald Dahl’s CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY THE MUSICAL is based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl. It 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.” It’s a deliciously dark tale of young Charlie Bucket and the mysterious confectioner Willy Wonka. Charlie & four other golden ticket winners embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination which he reveals to them with help from the curious Oompa-Loompas.
