Willy Wonka Jr.

Get ready for Stowe Middle School students to transport you to a “world of pure imagination” with their production of Roald Dahl’s, Willy Wonka JR., a musical based on the timeless children’s book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

A world-famously reclusive candy man named Willy Wonka announces that he will offer the tour of the lifetime through his secret chocolate factory to five children who find a golden ticket in one of his candy bars. One ticket-holder will also win a lifetime supply of chocolate. Against all odds, an impoverished but sweet-natured boy named Charlie Bucket wins a golden ticket. He and his fellow tour members — the spoiled-rotten Veruca Salt, gluttonous Augustus Gloop, gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, and television junkie Mike Teavee — spend a day traveling with the mysterious and marvelous Willy Wonka and his crew of Oompa Loompas through the fantastical factory. The children encounter marvelous sights and tastes along the way, but each stop proves to be a test, as only one can win the Wonka prize.
