Charlie and the chocolate factory theater show in london

See the candy-filled world of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ brought to life on stage at London’s Royal Drury Lane Theatre. Directed by Sam Mendes, the musical makeover of Roald Dahl’s popular children’s novel combines clever stage set ups with favorite characters like Willie Wonka, Veruca Salt and the curious army of orange-faced Oompa Loompas.

Documenting Roald Dahl’s 1964 children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this highly anticipated musical theater show brings the much-loved story to life with ingenious stagecraft and scintillating music by Emmy Award-winner Marc Shaiman.

Follow the story of loveable Charlie, who wins one of five ‘golden tickets’ to the wonderfully weird Wonka Chocolate Factory and discovers a dreamlike world of candy and little else. On Charlie’s journey through the factory’s sugary corridors and chocolate gardens, watch popular characters like eccentric Willy Wonka and gluttonous Augustus Gloop find out that everything’s not as sweet as it seems.

You have the choice of two seating options for the performance. Standard-priced seats offer a good view of the stage and are usually located in the rear stalls or dress circle. Alternatively, opt for top-priced seating to enjoy a view so close to the stage, you will feel the star power!
