Based on Roald Dahl’s globally beloved novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory follows young Charlie Bucket’s golden-ticket adventure into the mysterious and magical world of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
From chocolate rivers to nut-sorting squirrels and mischievous Oompa-Loompas, the musical dazzles with eye-popping visuals, larger-than-life characters, immersive delight for audiences, and toe-tapping music.
The musical features iconic songs from the classic 1971 film, including “Pure Imagination,” “The Candy Man,” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” along with original music by Grammy® and Tony Award® winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Mary Poppins Returns).
“Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a dazzling fantasy for everyone from everywhere. This new production features miraculous special effects inspired by advanced magical concepts. We are so excited to share the breathtaking world of this beloved Broadway musical about the power of imagination, and the art of invention with Singapore audiences in this spectacular new immersive production from an all-Broadway creative team!”
– Simone Genatt and Marc Routh, Co-Owners and Producers of Broadway International Group and Broadway Asia.
Transforming Willy Wonka’s fantastical factory into a world where the impossible feels possible, renowned Las Vegas magic and illusion designer Tim Clothier joins the Broadway team and says, “Willy Wonka is the king of imagination, and being able to design new stage wizardry for that character is a dream come true.”
“We are thrilled to be presenting Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Singapore, the first stop in Southeast Asia. This production speaks to audiences of all ages, from children discovering the magic for the first time to lifelong fans of Roald Dahl’s timeless story and films. With unforgettable music, larger-than-life characters, and magical stagecraft, it delivers a theatrical experience full of wonder. We invite families, fans, and theatre lovers to join us on this golden-ticket journey into the world of Willy Wonka.”
