Step inside Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory in this fast-moving, colorful musical based on Roald Dahl’s beloved story. Featuring songs from the classic 1971 film plus fun new additions, Willy Wonka Jr. is packed with imagination, humor, and larger-than-life characters.

The story follows five children who win golden tickets to tour Wonka’s mysterious factory. Along the way, lessons are learned, rules are tested, and one kindhearted kid—Charlie Bucket—proves that character matters more than candy.

This show offers great roles, ensemble moments, and performance opportunities for a wide range of young actors, making it a joyful, confidence-building experience for performers of all levels.

 Come join us for auditions!
