Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


TICKETS ON SALE NOW!  

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.

Witness the magic as our Primary and Secondary students bring this delightfully family-friendly tale to life – a place where the impossible becomes reality.
