Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Tickets

Overview

The world premiere of the new stage production based on Roald Dahl's much-loved childrens novel opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in June 2013.

Directed by Academy Award-winning film and theatre director Sam Mendes, with a book by David Greig and new songs from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, this magical and fantastical dark tale stars award-winning actor Douglas Hodge as Willy Wonka, alongside former Young One and established theatre star Nigel Planer as Grandpa Joe.

The mysterious Willy Wonka is opening his Chocolate Factory for just one day, and for Charlie Bucket it promises to be a mouth-watering chance to feast his eyes on sweets beyond his wildest imagination! Bursting with Dahl’s signature style and imagination, we're treated to chocolate waterfalls, the mystical orange skinned Oompa Loompas, glass elevators, trained squirrels and everlasting gobstoppers.
