You know the story …

Enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka 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 (nothing like our own children, in other words). But the fifth, Charlie Bucket, is a likeable young lad who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather, setting off a sequence of astonishing happenings and surprises.

Appropriate for all ages and featuring a cast of children from Hopkinton and surrounding towns, this delightful musical includes enchanting songs from the 1971 film, as well as a bunch of fun, new ones. Guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth, no matter their age!
