Join us for this outstanding Children's Theatre performance during the 2025 Woodstock Playhouse Theatre Festival Season as we celebrate the 87th season of the Woodstock Playhouse; originally established in 1938 by Robert Elwyn, a Woodstock Resident, Broadway/Film professional director/actor and member of one of Woodstock's oldest families...and the 15th anniversary season of the current Woodstock Playhouse theatrical family.

​

The delicious adventures experienced by Charlie Bucket on his visit to Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder, and new songs by Leslie Bricusse (Jekyll & Hyde, Doctor Dolittle) and Anthony Newley, Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Theatre for Young Audiences is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth.

​

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka TYA follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats; the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. For Willy Wonka to find the right candidate to inherit his life's work, the children must learn to acknowledge and respect the important rules Mr. Wonka has set in the factory.

​
