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."
Charlie vs. Willy Wonka: What's the difference?
Though both musicals are based on the classic Roald Dahl story, Willy Wonka and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are two very different shows.
Willy Wonka's music and lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and feature many of the songs made famous from the same duo for the 1971 film, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The stage version was adapted by Leslie Bricusse and Tim McDonald and features a slew of the recognizable tunes in its 52-song score, including "Candy Man," "Pure Imagination," "Cheer Up, Charlie," "Oompa-Loompa," and "I've Got a Golden Ticket".
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has a reimagined score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can) and a new book by David Greig. 18 + Roles. The classic favorites of "Candy Man", "I've Got a Golden Ticket", "Oompa Loompa", and "Pure Imagination" are all featured in the show with fresh arrangements by Doug Besterman. The remaining 18 songs are brand new from Shaiman & Wittman. The book is a much closer adaptation to the original novel by Roald Dahl.
Performances are Dec 5 – 7.
