About

Roald Dahl's amazing tale is now Chicago'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.

Willy Wonka is opening his marvelous and mysterious chocolate factory...to a lucky few. That includes Charlie Bucket, whose bland life is about to burst 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!

    Makes You Believe in Magic

    by Momomimosa on 10/24/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    Charlie and the Chocolate is the perfect Broadway show for families. Whimsical for the kids but at the same time the humor for adults was pure genius. I loved the second half more because the set for inside the factory was much more creative than the first. Willy Wonka was an absolute perfect fit for the character. Loved the musical numbers and effects. Even sitting in the back row did not bother me at all. Was still very much engaged.

    They down played the oompa loompas to where it was comical. Where were the little people? I felt like I was watching scenes from 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Very disappointed that they did not put more into the oompa loompas as characters.

    The main characters were great, but the props were disappointing and the oompa lumpa characters were disappointing

    Christina’s Voice is amazing!

    by Heliosleo on 10/22/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    She had a cold and still put on a good performance. I went with a group of friends and family. Not all were impressed, but the most of us enjoyed the show very much! Thanks for giving us your all Christina!

    Charlie was worth it

    by Islandboy43 on 10/21/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I took the wife and kids to the show. The venue was great and the show was phenomenal! The acting was spectacular and there were tons of hidden jokes for adults. I highly recommend the show.

    by ThanksRoenick on 10/21/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    This was seriously one of the best adaptations I’ve seen. Willy Wonka was beyond amazing. The characters were brought to life and kept the audience intrigued. 1000% times recommended!
