* Synopsis *

Willy Wonka, owner of a magical chocolate factory, invites the audience to join

him in a world of “pure imagination” (Pure Imagination). Although Wonka excels

at making candy, he is ready to retire and find some “bright spark” to continue

his candy confectioning (Golden Age of Chocolate). Charlie Bucket’s family is poor.

The local Candy Man arrives with his candy cart of Wonka treats, and gives

Charlie a sample “on the house,” as well as yesterday’s paper (The Candy Man).

The paper contains exciting news: Willy Wonka is holding a contest! The five lucky

people who find Golden Tickets inside Wonka bars win a tour of the chocolate

factory and a lifetime supply of chocolate. While returning to school, Charlie

learns the enormous eater, Augustus Gloop, has found the first Golden Ticket in

Frankfurt, Germany. Augustus and his mother describe how Augustus has been

carefully trained for the task of eating lots of food (I Eat More). The reporter,

Phineous Trout, announces that Veruca Salt has found the second Golden Ticket

in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Veruca’s father assisted her search by having his factory

workers shell chocolate wrappers. Charlie makes his way home to find his mother,

Mrs. Bucket, has lost her job at the laundry factory and worries the family will

starve. Charlie reminds his mother “the Bucket family always thinks positive”

(Think Positive). Charlie and his mother return home and, “surprise!” it’s

Charlie’s birthday! Charlie receives a Wonka bar as a birthday present, but no

Golden Ticket is found. The family tunes in the radio, only to learn Violet

Beauregarde, of Snellville, Georgia, has found the third Golden Ticket. Violet is a

gum chewer who switched to chocolate in order to win the contest. Phineous Trout

interrupts to announce Mike Teavee, in Television City, California, has found the

fourth Golden Ticket. Mike and his mother explain the only thing they need is TV,

the Internet and computer games (I See It All on TV). Charlie wishes he’d never

heard of “chocolate” or “Willy Wonka” and the family encourages Charlie to

cheer up (Cheer Up, Charlie). On his way to school, Charlie meets the Candy Man,

who gives Charlie his scarf. Charlie finds a coin buried in the snow, and offers to

post a notice about the lost coin. The Candy Man rewards Charlie with a Wonka

bar for being “such a good kid.” Charlie then purchases a Wonka bar and finds

the final Golden Ticket (Think Positive - Reprise and (I’ve Got a) Golden Ticket)! He

runs home to tell his family of his win and they decide Grandpa Joe should

accompany Charlie on the tour of Wonka’s factory (At The Gates). Wonka greets

the five winners and their parents at the gates, and they begin their tour of the

magical factory (In This Room Here). They arrive at the Chocolate Smelting Room

first. Augustus cannot resist tasting the chocolate and falls into a vat of it, which

hardens instantly like magic shell, trapping Augustus. The Oompa-Loompas

remove Augustus and his mother and reveal the moral of eating too much

(Oompa-Loompa 1). Wonka continues the tour by revealing a pink candy boat that

takes the remaining group on a psychedelic adventure down a chocolate river

(There’s No Knowing). They arrive at the Inventing Room where Violet is tempted

by the Everlasting Gourmet Gobstopper (Chew It). She snatches one, chews it, and

swells like a giant blueberry. The Oompa-Loompas remove her and her mother

and detail the moral of children who chew gum more than once in a while

(Oompa-Loompa 2). Charlie and Grandpa Joe are separated from the group and

discover the Fizzy Lifting Drink. They taste a bit of the drink and fly towards the

sky (Flying). They encounter an exhaust fan overhead but they discover that by

burping they float safely to the ground (Burping Song). They rejoin the group in the

Nut Room where Veruca demands a Squirrel, a pink candy boat and an Oompa-

Loompa (I Want It Now!). Veruca and her father disappear down a trash chute

that may or may not lead to the incinerator, and the Oompa-Loompas discuss the

moral of spoiled brats (Oompa-Loompa 3). With just Charlie, Grandpa Joe, Mike

and Ms. Teavee left, the tour reaches the Choco-Vision Room, where Mike meets

his temptation and is shrunk to barely six inches tall. The Oompa-Loompas

discuss the moral of too much TV and technology (Oompa-Loompa 4). At the

conclusion of the tour Charlie does something remarkable: he thanks Wonka for

the tour and admits to tasting the Fizzy Lifting Drink. Wonka reveals the tour was

a test of character and only Charlie has succeeded. Wonka proclaims Charlie as

his successor as Charlie’s family joins them at Wonka’s factory (Finale).
