Today Only! "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Needs Talent

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ADMITTED. Directors are urgently seeking additional cast members for production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". See the details below. About the play: Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" 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." The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.
