Coming soon! The world premiere of the new stage production based on Roald Dahl's much-loved childrens novel will open at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in June 2013.
The new musical will be directed by Academy Award-winning film and theatre director Sam Mendes, with a book by David Greig and new songs from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
The mysterious Willy Wonka is opening his Chocolate Factory for just one day, and for Charlie Bucket it promises to be a mouth-watering chance to feast his eyes on sweets beyond his wildest imagination!
