About

Roald Dahl’s treasured tale is now Broadway’s Golden Ticket! It’s the perfect recipe for a delectable treat: songs from the original film, including “Pure Imagination,” “The Candy Man” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” alongside a toe-tapping and ear-tickling new score from the songwriters of Hairspray.

And who better to conjure up this confectionary wonder than three-time Tony Award®-winning director JACK O’BRIEN, the Grammy® and Tony-winning songwriters of Hairspray, MARC SHAIMAN and SCOTT WITTMAN, and internationally acclaimed playwright, DAVID GRIEG. 

Willy Wonka is opening his marvelous and mysterious chocolate factory…to a lucky few. That includes Charlie Bucket, whose bland life is about to sweeten with color and confection beyond his wildest dreams. He and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a mesmerizing joyride through a world of pure imagination. Now’s your chance to experience the wonders of Wonka like never before—get ready for Oompa-Loompas, incredible inventions, the great glass elevator and more, more, more at this everlasting showstopper!

    Best wonka so far!

    by RazorbackGT on 5/15/22E.J. Thomas Hall - The University of Akron - Akron

    A wonderful, whimsical spectacle and it didn't break the bank! It was definitely a darker humor as expected but they took it a step further when they ripped one of the children to pieces lol. Don't take it too seriously and remember it's fiction! I would highly recommend to any fans of the franchise 12+

    Unfortunately, not a pleasant experience.

    by Bug on 5/14/22E.J. Thomas Hall - The University of Akron - Akron

    Not really sure what the problem was, but could not understand the entire First Act. Had to struggle to hear what the cast was saying. This was just not my opinion either. The people sitting next to us said, “If you didn’t know the story, you would be totally lost.” I agree. Never had this problem at this venue before.

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Broadway in Akron, OH

    by Tia on 5/13/22E.J. Thomas Hall - The University of Akron - Akron

    My great niece and I really enjoyed the musical. The music and dancing were awesome as well as the stage sets. My niece was enthralled by all of it. The voices and dancing were excellent. Of course we loved the Oompa Loompas. They really did steal the show!

    Fun show!

    by SusieM on 5/13/22E.J. Thomas Hall - The University of Akron - Akron

    Charlie was a fantastic show! We had so much fun! Highly Recommend!! …turn up Willie’s mic and…we waited to see Grandpa & Charlie fly, but they didn’t. It would have been an easy set.

    by Soozil on 10/17/17Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    My husband and I enjoyed a delightful afternoon with Charlie, Willie Wonka and the marvelous cast of characters. It was so well done and Christian Borle was perfect! We enjoyed the music so much that I bought the CD as soon as I got home. 4 thumbs up for us!

    Absolutely hilarious

    by starryhours on 10/17/17Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    This show was absolutely incredible and I would 110% pay to see it again! It was hilarious, clever, and thoroughly entertaining. The not-so-subtle political commentary had me pleasantly surprised. The theater itself was clean and welcoming, the snacks and drinks were great, and staff was friendly.

    Perfect for families!

    by Grumpy on 10/17/17Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Grandsons 14 & 12 loved the show as did Grammy age 75. Christian Borle (Willy Wonka) and Ryan Foust (Charlie) were fantastic. Staging and effects were extremely well done and we loved the "Oompa Loompas". What an incredible cast. A great show for children and adults of all ages.
