Willy Wonka is a scrumdidilyumptious new stage musical guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth. Roald Dahl's timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in this stage adaptation of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, which features the songs from the classic family film Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. Favorite characters and songs (including "The Candy Man" and "Pure Imagination") are featured in this show that overflows with music, comedy and heart.

The production is being directed by Eileen Howard, who most recently appeared in Gallery Players' production of Jerry's Girls. Funding for this program is made possible with support from The Columbus Jewish Foundation.
