🍫✨ You're Invited to a World of Pure Imagination! ✨🍫
Mill Race Theatre Company presents
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
📍 Columbus East High School Auditorium
📅 July 17–20, 2025
Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a deliciously magical musical adventure for the whole family! Featuring original music by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman—plus classic songs from the 1971 film like “Candy Man,” “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” “Pure Imagination,” and “Oompa Loompa Song”—this show brings Wonka’s wild world to life on stage.
When Willy Wonka opens the gates to his mysterious factory, only five lucky golden ticket winners—including the humble Charlie Bucket—are invited inside. What follows is a dazzling journey through chocolate waterfalls, nut-sorting squirrels, the Great Glass Elevator, and the iconic Oompa-Loompas. 🍭🚀
Rated PG – Perfect for families!
