A reclusive candy magnate places five golden tickets in his popular chocolate bars, serving as invitations to his strange and wonderful candy factory. Charlie Bucket and four other children embark on a magical tour, encountering Oompa Loompas, Everlasting Gobstoppers, and more!
Why we're showing it: An adaptation of beloved children's author Roald Dahl's classic book, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has been delighting audiences ever since 1971. With an iconic performance from Gene Wilder and its own inimitable brand of sardonic humor, Willy Wonka is a treat for guests young and old.
