Character Breakdown:
Willy Wonka / Candy Man
Willy Wonka is an enigmatic character; at once mysterious and mischievous but also charismatic.
Gender: Any
Charlie Bucket
Charlie Bucket is the emotional heart and soul of the musical. The actor performing Charlie should have an unchanged voice and lots of pluck and enthusiasm.
Gender: Male
Grandpa Joe
Grandpa Joe is the grandfather we all wish we had when we were Charlie's age. He is caring, patient, sweet, and always reminds Charlie to look on the bright side.
Gender: Male
Mr. Bucket
This is a great role for a young person who has a nice voice, and is a natural nurturer.
Gender: Male
Mrs. Bucket
This is a great role for a young person who has a nice voice, and is a natural nurturer.
Gender: Female
The Candy Man Kids
Candy Man Kids sing "The Candy Man,"
Gender: Any
Grandpa George
Charlie's three grandparents are mainly non-singing character roles.
Gender: Male
Grandma Georgina
Charlie's three grandparents are mainly non-singing character roles.
Gender: Female
Grandma Josephina
Charlie's three grandparents are mainly non-singing character roles.
Gender: Female
Phineous Trout
Phineous is the reporter who announces the winners of the Golden Ticket contest throughout the show.
Gender: Any
Oompa-Loompa Chorus
Gender: Any
Mrs. Gloop
Mrs. Gloop is Augustus' mother who has overindulged her son with food.
Gender: Female
Mrs. Beauregarde
Mrs. Beauregard is a teacher of geography and has invested a great deal of hard-earned money on therapy for her gum-chewing daughter, with less than stellar results. The role is virtually non-singing. Her accent should match Violet's and the two should make a good pair onstage.
Gender: Female
Mr. Salt
Mr. Salt's solution to most problems is to buy his way out. He is upper class, and usually portrayed with a high British accent. (But this accent is not necessary.) He sings very little. A female actress playing male may also play the role.
Gender: Male
Violet Beauregarde
Gum chewer extraordinaire, Violet hails from Snellville, Georgia, so it's nice if she has a Southern American accent, but not necessary. She sings "Chew It" along with Willy Wonka
Gender: Female
Mike Teavee
For this adaptation Mike is not just a TV junky. He is also addicted to video games, the Internet and any other mindnumbing technological device. Mike is bratty, loud and obnoxious. He does not understand the word "no." Mike could also be portrayed by a girl playing a boy.
Gender: Male
James
James is Charlie's friend from school. He has a few lines and sings the introduction of "The Candy Man" along with Matilda and Charlie.
Gender: Male
Chorus Of Cooks
The Cooks appear during "I Eat More!" presenting Augustus with a smorgasbord of food choices.
Gender: Any
Augustus Gloop
Augustus is the overachieving eater. Either a boy or a girl acting like a boy can play Augustus. Augustus sings "I Eat More!" along with his mother and Phineous Trout.
Gender: Male
Ms. Teavee
Ms. Teavee is a take on all television moms of the distant past. Think June Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver) or Marion Cunningham (Happy Days) or even Carol Brady (The Brady Bunch). She's perfectly put together and a bit vacant.
Gender: Female
Veruca Salt
Veruca is wealthy, class-conscious, and completely spoiled. She is often portrayed with a high British accent that is by no means required
Gender: Female
Matilda
Matilda is also a schoolmate of Charlie's, but she's a bit of bully. Matilda has a few lines and sings the introduction of "The Candy Man" along with James and Charlie.
Gender: Female
Squirrels
The squirrels are non-speaking, non-singing roles and you can cast as many as necessary. This is a great part for beginning actors.
Mrs. Beauregarde
Mrs. Beauregard is a teacher of geography and has invested a great deal of hard-earned money on therapy for her gum-chewing daughter, with less than stellar results. The role is virtually non-singing. Her accent should match Violet's and the two should make a good pair onstage.
