Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Leeds Grand Youth Theatre (LGYT) presents its 12th full-scale musical, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory… but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka’s army of curious Oompa-Loompas.
Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features an original score composed by Marc Shaiman with lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) and a book by David Greig. It also features songs from the 1971 motion picture written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.
LGYT is a thriving, vibrant company of 8-18-year-olds where skills building and inclusivity are at the heart of everything they do. Join Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka as you delve into a world of Pure Imagination – you’ll have a truly tasty time!
