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!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 3 out of 5by BroadwayFan112 on 10/9/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago The child lead and a few other cast members were terrific. The rest of the show was pretty excessive... and that’s saying a lot for the eccentic Willy Wonka. I was entertained but definitely thought it could be a lot better.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Very Disappointing
by JustYourAverageGuy44 on 10/9/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoI had hopes of seeing a visually stunning play with catchy music but came away very disappointed. Charlie and the Chocolate factory was dark, and sometimes disturbing for the young audience. The dismemberment of one of the characters by Black Squirrels, because she was a "bad nut", drew silence and a slight gasp from the audience. The final scene as Willie Wonka gives Charlie the chocolate factory had no emotion or excitement what so ever. The cast is talented, but the play suffers from a terrible script.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Charlie & the Chocolate Factory - 10/3 performance
by OACM on 10/6/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoNoah was convincing and energetic, it's tough to follow Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp. The play flowed nicely that I did not realize time had passed. The rest of the cast were wonderful, the dancers were amazing. Truly enjoyed the play, it was nice to see multi-generational families.

by MDNAfan on 10/5/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoI've always been a fan of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the stage version exceeded my expectations. The special effects were outstanding and every actor on stage did an amazing performance. It's a "MUST SEE" for everyone.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great show
by TheDadLyfeAdventures on 10/5/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoI took my daughter (age 4) to see this. She loves the music from the show and it is often what she asks to listen to when I’m drivjng. The acting, sets, costumes and music are all fantastic. The main reason for giving it 4 stars is because one of my favorite songs from the cast album, “What could possibly go wrong”, was replace with “That little man of mine”. I also would have liked if they had Wonka candy bars available, after all it is a show that heavily revolves around candy!
