Willy Wonka JR. Theatre Production

Willy Wonka Jr.

The delicious adventures of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film, in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth.

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. has a flexible cast size with many featured and ensemble roles, including the singing and dancing Oompa Loompas.

The ActLiveNow Jr. Theater Program exists for one reason only: our firm belief that theater provides unique benefits to children, including enhanced self-confidence, teamwork, and a sense of belonging. We believe that children learn best when they are given opportunities, which is why in our productions, every child has a substantive part, for meaningful exploration and growth of their new skills. Our outstanding creative team have years of experience helping each child to reach their full potential, and our low-impact format -- one class a week, one show a year— won't take over your life like some theater programs do. We invite you to join us and give your child his or her chance to shine!
