"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Seeks Kids and Teens

Youth ages 8-18 are invited to join for summer youth musical production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2013). Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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. The score also pays homage to the Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including "The Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination." 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. Additional info: Performances are August 7,8, and 9. Youth of all experience levels are encouraged to audition! If interested, please appl.y
