Step into Roald Dahl’s whimsical world of pure imagination! Based on the 1971 film with the iconic score by Newley & Bricusse! Hold onto your hats and fasten your bowties, for you're about to step into Roald Dahl’s whimsical world of pure imagination with The Rep’s scrumdiddlyumptious mainstage presentation of Willy Wonka! This outrageously popular musical - based on the Roald Dahl book and the 1971 film with the iconic score by Newley & Bricusse - sweeps you away on a topsy-turvy adventure, as the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka opens his extraordinary chocolate factory to young Charlie Bucket. This rollicking, whimsy-laden romp through the twisted labyrinth of Wonka’s imagination (where the extraordinary is as common as cocoa beans) features a kaleidoscopic cast of wild characters and unforgettable melodies like "Pure Imagination" and "The Candy Man.” You may laugh, you may gasp, you may nibble on the edge of your seat, but undoubtedly, you'll be swept away by the glorious spectacle of it all!
