"Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" Needs Boys and Girls

Looking for kids entering 4th grade in the 2026/2027 school year and up for "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory". Please see the details below. About the project: 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: Please prepare a roughly 32 bars of a song (about a verse or bridge and chorus) from either a contemporary or golden age musical comedy. The comedy part is key, as character, personality, and timing are important. No popular music or rock songs, please. PLEASE BRING SHEET MUSIC FOR YOUR SONG FOR OUR MUSIC DIRECTOR TO ACCOMPANY YOU. You will also be taught a dance audition, so please have comfortable attire and shoes to dance in. DANCING WILL NOT BE PERMITTED IN BARE, STOCKING FEET, OR SANDALS, FLIP-FLOPS, CROCS, OR OPEN-TOED SHOES FOR REASONS OF SAFETY.
